RE:Blog Art and Science are intertwined

Posted by tracey on: Wed 13th Apr, 2011

"Almost all Nobel laureates in the sciences are actively engaged in arts as adults. They are twenty-five times as likely as average scientist to sing, dance, or act; seventeen times as likely to be an artist; twelve times more likely to write poetry and literature; eight times more likely to do woodworking or some other craft; four times as likely to be a musician; and twice as likely to be a photographer." - Bob Root-Bernstein, Ph. D., physiologist and MacArthur Fellow. (Via S.C. Kavassalis)

To be a scientist, one must engage in orderly, but artful thinking. Intuitive leaps supported by a grounding in 'what is'. To be an artist, one must engage in inspired thinking which results, when done well, in a product that expresses a kind of visual coherence, that conforms to some kind of underlying order. And it makes the world go round and round.

Beautifully stated Anonymouse. Artful thinking can reveal the truths unknown and unseen by the knowing mind.
