In Erik Rietveld’s inaugural lecture “The Affordances of Art for Making Technologies,” art is presented as a valuable avenue to enrich the environment with material and social affordances that may enhance human meaning giving practices. In this contribution, I make a distinction between conventional and unconventional practices and argue for an account of sociomateriality that covers the whole spectrum and not just the evidently artistic and artful ones. In this context, I plea for a cognitive science program that adds to the rich resources art has to offer for understanding the whole spectrum of practices and deals with the complexity of social, material, and cultural practices.

在埃里克·里特维尔德（Erik Rietveld）的就职演说“艺术对技术的追求”中，艺术被视为一种宝贵的途径，可通过丰富物质和社会支持来丰富环境，从而增强人类的意义赋予实践。在这一贡献中，我区分了常规和非常规的做法，并主张对社会物质性进行说明，该说明涉及整个范围，而不仅仅是明显的艺术性和技巧性。在这种情况下，我恳求建立一个认知科学计划，以增加艺术所必须提供的丰富资源，以便理解各种实践，并应对社会，物质和文化实践的复杂性。
