The Relationships Between
Science & Art
Although when people still say to me, “I don’t get it, what do they have in common?” If you believe that art is intuitive and emotional, and that science is technical and logical, we are reminded that making art itself can be complicated and technical, and that the best of the scientists are intuitive.

The Talks
TALK #1. SCIENCE AND ART, TOGETHER
Do you know the secret of Mona Lisa’s smile? Did you know that when Newton discovered how the prism broke up light into various colors, Vermeer, too, was studying light in his paintings? Do you know when it comes to vision, what you see first? Do you know why we often think of science and art as two different areas of study? This talk takes you from the 14th century to today, as we explore how science and art depend on each other in terms of paint itself, light, mathematics, physics, and brain science.
