Title:
DEEP AFFINITIES: ART AND SCIENCE
Speaker:
Abstract:
In this illustrated lecture Philip F. Palmedo, a former physicist who has written extensively on art, reveals howthe two defining enterprises of humankind—art and science—are rooted in certaincommon instincts, which are fundamentally aesthetic. They originated in earlyhumans’ need, to understand a complex natural world on which they depended. Thetwo enterprises share basic concerns such as symmetry and efficiency. Thecreative process, the criteria of success, and the creators’ reactions onsucceeding are remarkable similar.
