Transdisciplinary intersection has been defining new fields of research and practice in humanities and arts, in particular in contemporary art, to incorporate nature as the object of its aesthetics, scientific and technological search. We should know that the emergence of an object far from equilibrium confronts us with a domain that needs to be explained in terms of the complexity of its nature in relation to other domains with which it interacts. This is the origin of this proposal to consider  the art of complexity as a pattern of  emergent properties with the potential to offer a space for sharing research corpus with other fields. This allows to systematize its object and find a common space for collaboration with science and technology.
Faced with this challenge, and the call from SEAD, the Author describes her experimental and empirical creative practice in the art of complexity. This kind of art is characterized by the use of scientific research method, observation and experimentation through trial and error and the formulation and analysis of findings that lead to a body of systematized hypothesis. Dynamic experiments based on direct sources link the art of complexity to natural sciences and to emerging fields of image and data records. Based on this new way of thinking about disciplines the research opens new opportunities in various scenarios that lead to reconceptualize art, creating a theoretical body that binds science and technology.
These findings can rebuild art, giving it a new aesthetic epistemological conception with emerging applications in areas around water sciences, mathematics, chemistry, physics, artificial intelligence and new fields to be defined.
Finally, the paper identifies problems, supporting mechanisms and actions for a global strategy that encourages transdisciplinary collaboration work between arts and sciences. This work was supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No.1142510.
