Description

Science and art are two distinct forms of knowledge that often seem worlds apart. However, scientists are increasingly weaving incredible stories, inventing wild hypotheses, and asking profound questions about the meaning of life. Their insights into the workings of our bodies and minds challenge many of the myths we hold about ourselves. Contemporary scientists frequently discuss concepts like 'beauty' and 'elegance', while artists rarely do. This book explores how science is influencing the creation and interpretation of contemporary art, proposing that artistic insights are just as valuable on their own terms as those in science. It features a range of innovative works by artists who are pushing the boundaries of their medium using new technologies. By examining the intersection of art and science, this book offers new perspectives for both artists and scientists, as well as anyone interested in understanding our world in all its complexity.
