The purpose of ASCI is to raise public awareness about artists
and scientists using science and technology to explore new forms of creative
expression, and to increase communication and collaboration between these fields. Art & Science Collaborations, Inc. (ASCI)
is a nonprofit based in New York City that has an excellent,
monthly art-sci information eBulletin, and website documenting its seminal
projects nurturing the field of art-science-technology since 1995.
