The Urban Oasis project provides the framework for a discourse on artistic research. The new publication examines artistic-scientific strategies and their potential to mediate between society and the production of knowledge. The artist comprehends his work as agency, and artworks as living organisms with a social dimension. Authors from various disciplines deal with questions regarding the hybrid relationship between the technological and the natural as well as the aesthetic dimension of ecology.
