 This is of course a very complex issue, because even supposing that the
 majority of researchers are willing to account for factors such as
 gender, ethnicity, etc., the shift towards considering "cultural" issues
 threatens to relativise the long and dense history of scientific
 methodology, which, though in a given field "paradigms" change often,
 still instantiates itself as "discovery" science and the accumulation of
 scientific knowledge (scientific knowledge as the production of
 artifacts directed towards predominantly practical/medical ends).
 
 > 1) Art is a "weird" science

 When do we switch to the possible esthetic applications of our ethic 
struggles on genetic science?
 
 I think something like this was brought up earlier, and it is an
 interesting thread to follow, 

yes it is very interesting to follow this because artists show how human made 
science really is. there are able to invent all kinds of things

there is a whole genealogy of art-as-science or crazy science, 

it is not only crazy it is more than this it shows the power of a human being 
to create something, to imagine their own images their own world.

which is more than art  simply parodying science, 
 no it maybe a kind or form of science itself dealing with forms and visuals

But beyond all these examples, they have
 more or less remained (marginalized?) w/in "art", despite all their
 emphasis on technique, artist-as-craftsman, engineering, etc. 

so why is that do you have an explanation for that eugene?
 i am asking seriously because i do not have an answer instantly
