Art Meets Science
WHAT: Is seeing something really knowing it? Are there different ways of seeing – or knowing – phenomena? Science Café Houston invites you to a public discussion with artists and scientists to discuss how science and technology influence artists and how artists’ explorations of scientific results further the interpretations of those discoveries.
Artists examine, extract, and combine the images of objects made available through the use of scientific and technological research. The humanistic interpretation of the scientific research raises questions about truth and ideals. In this way, art may help us better grasp scientific concepts and their social, ethical, and political meanings. For more information: www.sciencecafe.net
