Art and Science can be considered as opposites, one based on fancy and the other based on fact. However in today’s world, many artists look for inspiration in science and many scientists are fascinated with the creative aspect of the arts. Science must not only be understood by scientists and many believe that a way must be found to make science accessible to all, so that it can have proper impact on society. Art is the perfect medium to represent science to everyone and lured in by the beauty of it, the scientific aspect that is the basis of the work inspires for science as well. The works selected for the exhibit “Prizing Art and Praising Science” are --as the title suggests-- celebrated works which have received recognition as works that have joined science and art in unique ways.
