ARIGATOU GOZAIMASHITA!

49. There have been artist-scientists since the Renaissance (at least). Consider
Leonardo da Vinci, Western culture’s original “renaissance man,” or Samuel
Morse, the nineteenth-century, American history painter and inventor
of the telegraph
Advocates of the fusion of art and science frequently cited similarities
between twentieth-century artistic and scientific processes: experimentation
is valued in both studio and lab, where illumination or inspiration might
occur in a flash. The best-known scientific breakthroughs of the twentieth
century were formulated by Albert Einstein and famously derived from
his powers of imagination
two milestones of 1967 were the founding of the Los Angeles
County Museum of Art’s Art and Technology Program and the Center for
Advanced Visual Studies at MIT
Watching the processes of discovery unfold, might not only increase science
literacy, but demystify the day-to-day life of scientists for the general public
and encourage patients to be self-reflective and focus on life’s great—rather
than trivial—mysteries!
Entitled Hirn-ART (brainART), the first of these exhibitions featured an
enlarged model of the two hemispheres of the human brain, on which
various areas had been highlighted in colour and labelled with their
scientific names [2]. Placed around this central model were a number of
experimental work stations where visitors could learn about the processes
occurring in the various regions of the brain.
