The Synergy of Art and Science

*visionaryartists:iconvisionaryartists: reports, 1d 10h ago
Our visionary conversation unfolds with Greg Bart’s invitation to seek inspiration and direction in the integration of the known and the numinous, of science and art. I am particularly appreciative of Bart’s call for artists to find vision in scientific descriptions of nature. Indeed, there is an extraordinary awakening contained in the realization that the universe “out there” is more incredible, more beautiful, more intricate and sublime, than anything we might simply conjure in our own heads. The humility contained in this thought is an explosive engine of discovery. Rather than stewing in the surrealistic stream of a consciousness bound by the cage of one’s own experience, the visionary travels beyond the beyond, seeking to integrate mysterious states of grace with revealed patterns in nature.

In Bart’s eloquent words, “Science is not necessarily God, but its lessons are divine. Artists can direct their efforts to creating an art, a mythology, that is informed by cosmology and yet is captivating to people of all different worldviews and capacities for understanding.”
