Hans-Ulrich Obrist once organized a science and art conference with all of the infrastructure of a conference--the parties, chats, lunches, airport arrivals--but with no actual conference. Apparently it was hugely successful and spawned many ongoing collaborations.~This tale is told by Bruce Mau in the introduction to Bridge the Gap?, the printed result of an evolving conference that looks at the increasing interest in science demonstrated in the work of many contemporary artists, architects and designers, as well as by thinkers in the humanities.
