Excellent review of Art and Science amalgamation along with cutting edge research from MIT media Art. Challenges the old CP Snow lecture about the gulf between Art and Science. Fits in with the current overlap of various scientific disciplines such as computational Biology and biophysics. The inserts and black and white artworks are equally interesting .
Several people in the book argue that art and science are one, sharing the mission of making the invisible visible, a view Miller to which appears sympathetic. (Chapter 1 is titled “In Search of the Invisible.”) One artist declares, “Art does a similar thing [to science]: it proposes a model through which we can look at the world around us.” But this is meaningless. History, mathematics and stand-up comedy also propose models through which we can look at the world. Art and science starkly differ in the types of models they employ, a central issue that Miller does not sufficiently interrogate. Unbelievably, in 350 pages on the supposed convergence of artistic and scientific approaches to the world, the scientific method is not mentioned once.
In recent decades, an exciting new art movement has emerged in which artists utilize and illuminate the latest advances in science. Some of their provocative creations--a live rabbit implanted with the fluorescent gene of a jellyfish, a gigantic glass-and-chrome sculpture of the Big Bang (pictured on the cover)--can be seen in traditional art museums and magazines, while others are being made by leading designers at Pixar, Google's Creative Lab, and the MIT Media Lab. In Colliding Worlds, Arthur I. Miller takes readers on a wild journey to explore this new frontier. Miller, the author of several celebrated books on science and creativity, traces the movement from its seeds a century ago--when Einstein's theory of relativity helped shape the thinking of the Cubists--to its flowering today. From NanoArt to Big Data, Miller reveals the extraordinary possibilities when art and science collide.--From publisher description. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
