The science studies literatures on amateurs and citizen science have remained largely unconnected despite similarities between the two categories. The essay connects amateur knowledge and citizen science through examples from public art. Through an analysis of the use of the term "amateur" by contemporary artists working to engage the public in critiques of science, connections in the ideals of democratic knowledge making by amateurs and citizen scientists are further explored.
尽管业余爱好者和公民科学这两类研究文献存在相似之处，但它们在很大程度上仍相互独立。本文通过公共艺术的实例，将业余知识与公民科学联系起来。通过分析当代致力于让公众参与科学批评的艺术家对“业余爱好者”一词的使用，进一步探讨了业余爱好者和公民科学家在民主知识创造理念方面的联系。
