This publication examines the transmission of knowledge between art and design, focusing on the reciprocal exchange of knowledge between artistic and non-artistic objects. It starts from the assumption that knowledge may circulate in different forms. Knowledge is transmitted between people as well as between non-human carriers. The focus is on exemplary levels at which knowledge circulates: those of actors (artists and designers), objects (art and design objects) and meanings. Consequently, knowledge is not understood as a simple truth, but as a historical phenomenon dependent on times, places and people. - circulation of knowledge ambient art relational aesthetics
