How does the scientist move in the direction of an artist
How does the artist move in the direction of a scientist.
In working with scientists there are so many moments where I saw them working creatively in a very similar manner to an artist. The laboratory of an experimental physicist is so similar to the studio of a sculptor, the difference is only in the level of cleanliness and expense of materials.
In my own work i'm very influenced (as most modern artists are) by the work of Dada and Duchamp, the eschewing of abstraction for sake of expression and the deviance form purely subjective decisions.
Its very interesting to look at an individual's innate creativity. The desire to tinker, play, understand by experimenting. Whether that individual is labelled an artist or scientist is not so important.
