When Two Worlds Collide: Artful Science





 Science and Art couldn't seem farther apart on the scope of content, but in fact the two are very much connected. Most certainly when we observe a scientific concept, we find a surreal beauty about the mastery and complexity of science, and when observing or analyzing a work of art, true amazement is found in its beauty. Mother Nature is purely created out of scientific concepts and processes, and an artist's work must be admired for his perception of light and dark, shadows and mystery, and in the unique and dramatic shapes and concepts used. When we add a touch of technology to the picture, both science and become magnified in their context, complexity, and beauty. The objective of this "Artful Science" unit is to gain an understanding and appreciation for the seemingly opposite worlds of art and science, and how technology brings a new realization to both.

 "The relation of art and science is a relation of opposites. The purpose of art is: from feeling to get to truth. The purpose of science is: from truth to get to feeling or emotion. But they are about the same thing, with different direction." - Eli Siegel

 Eli Siegel, the author of //Aesthetic Realism//, based his lectures and lessons in part on the ideal that "in reality opposites are one: art shows this," and he challenges us with these questions when observing beauty in nature or the wonders of science:

**FREEDOM AND ORDER - **//DOES every instance of beauty in nature and beauty as the artist presents it have something unrestricted, unexpected, uncontrolled?—and does this beautiful thing in nature or beautiful thing coming from the artist's mind have, too, something accurate, sensible, logically justifiable, which can be called order? //

 * SAMENESS AND DIFFERENCE - **//DOES every work of art show the kinship to be found in object and all realities? - and at the same time the subtle and tremendous difference, the drama of otherness, that one can find among the things of the world? //

//﻿ // **ONENESS AND MANYNESS -** //IS there in every work of art something which shows reality as one and also something which shows reality as many and diverse? - must every work of art have a simultaneous presence of oneness and manyness, unity and variety?//
