Abstract:
Illuminating the Crossroads strives to show how science and art come together to speak a common language. Science is the quest to understand the physical world around us. Art is the desire to express the mental world within us. They can be characterized, respectively, as our innate intellectual curiosity about nature, and our ability to conceptualize abstract ideas and emotions – both exclusively human traits. At the crossroads of these two philosophies is a metaphysical realm that explores what it fundamentally means to be human.The exhibition brings together two spheres between which dialogue is rarely exchanged, and little collaboration takes place. And yet, on a more profound level, these two areas of knowledge both represent manifestations of some of the most basic things that make us human. In the end, increasing the interchange of ideas at the crossroad of the two will not only bring us new discoveries and progress, but also bring us closer in touch with the essence of humanity.
