Between an Art professor and a Biology professor for example
I hope so! I'm a veterinarian and ecologist but also play guitar and do magic shows. But figures and tables are a type of art and you can paint or draw animals if you are a biologist
Hi,
yes it's possible and there are a lot of examples due to the fact that you have scientific research on Pieces of art and that artists want to work with scientific materials or researchers.
Below few examples where you will easily undestand that these works trigger serious ethical issues and it's where art can explore limits before it's too late. But, it's often weird and disturbing.
Human digestion process (engineers + researchers + artist)
Belgium Artist Wim Delvoye explores the digestive process with the installation Cloaca which is the fruit of almost 8 years of work with different engineers and researchers. https://wimdelvoye.be/work/cloaca/

Eduardo Kac: Transgenic Artist (engineers + researchers + artist)
Eduardo Kac is a pioneer of bio art. The School of the Art Institute professor has pushed boundaries—and buttons—throughout his career. He is best known for his series of "transgenic" works, art that blends natural and created elements in highly unexpected ways. These works include a green fluorescent rabbit, a synthetic gene built on a Morse code translation of a sentence from the Book of Genesis, and a genetically engineered petunia that contains Kac's DNA.

Augmented human and post-humanism (engineers + researchers + artist)
Stelarc (born Στέλιος Αρκαδίου Stelios Arcadiou in Limassol in 1946, but legally changed his name in 1972) is a Cyprus-born performance artist raised in the Melbourne suburb of Sunshine,[1] whose works focus heavily on extending the capabilities of the human body.

The Prayer is presented in the show “Neurons, Simulated Intelligence”, at Centre Pompidou, Paris, curated by Frédéric Migayrou and Camille Lenglois from 26 February - 26 April 2020.
The Prayer is an art-installation that tries to explore the supernatural through artificial intelligence with a long-term experimental set up. A robot - installation operates a talking mouth, that is part of a computer system, creating and voicing prayers, that are generated in every very moment by the self-learning system itself, exploring ‘the divine’ the supernatural or ‘the noumenal’ as the mystery of ‘the unknown’, using deep learning.
How would a divine epiphany appear to an artificial intelligence? The focus of the project could maybe shed light on the difference between humans and AI machines in the debate about mind and matter and allows a speculative stance on the future of humans in the age of AI technology and AGI ambitions.
Above an anticipation of AI Singing with AI generated texts, since singing is a major religious practice.

The production is a collaboration with Regina Barzilay, Tianxiao Shen, Enrico Santus, all MIT CSAIL, Amazon Polly, Bill and Will Sturgeon, Elchanan Mossel, MIT, Stefan Strauss, Chris Fitch, Brian Kane, Keith Welsh, Webster University, Matthew Azevedo.
With extraordinary and special thanks to Hideyuki Sawada, Waseda University and Thanh Vo, The University of Danang, whose speech machine for the hearing impaired has been a point of departure for the design of the outer features of the artwork.
