Jill Scott defines a creative incubator as a warm physical space and a psychological environment conducive to a growing collaboration between art and science practitioners and theorists. This incubator can already be found inside interspatial zones that encourage creative experiment building and the sharing of findings in disciplinary-specific technology. She suggests that an increase in creative collaboration, “lateral thinking” [1], “tacit interactions” [2] and “situated” knowhow-transfer [3] may encourage this incubator to grow. She uses specific examples from science and art research from Australia and overseas to cross-correlate this creative incubator in four different interspatial zones.
First is the biology lab zone where an incubator is used to regulate temperature, air circulation, oxygen levels and humidity: controlling the conditions that can help a premature life to grow, change or survive. Here artists are working with incubators to recreate life forms or bio-mimic...
