More problematic works of
art may contain new principles that science is best able to
discover.

"Certainly Science (usually
Mathematics actually) has been known to recognize symmetries and structures
within artistic creations that would otherwise go
"unexplained"."

3. A question remains:
what can art create that science cannot and what can science
discover that
art cannot? And its corollary at what turn might art lead and at what turn
might science take a first step.
Steve Wrote:
To the extent that
art is about perception (at many levels), I think Art offers Science much.
Science has always offered Art something mundane through it's support of
materials and processes, pigments and dies, tools and technologies.
It
is in this area that I think lie the greatest potential for a new synergy
between science and art. I am surprised and interested in understanding why many
scientists don't see this opportunity as well.
Science has much more to
offer than through its support of materials and processes.... In a word the new
opportunity is for art to open the door to a new world and for artists and
scientists to join together to understand and discover what physics, what
mathematics, what values operate here and how does it do that. The one thing
that may need to be left behind is that there is one kind of physics,
mathematics one kind of science. Science itself needs to be open to
reimagining.
