Art and Science

Art and science together is a fascinating area to explore. The word science is so broad though, and encompasses any topic or form of study you could ever want. Automatically my mind is drawn to psychology, and particularly how the brain interprets. I read the article “Interested Or Deceptively Flirting? Observers Of First Dates Can Predict Outcome” and it peaked my interest on how we deceive to get things. Even if we deceive in order to find someone we ultimately want trust with. There are other articles on Science News that I wanted to read about as well relating to this body language and false interest women in particular use. I’m not sure exactly how I want to express the duality of attitude and a deception.
Gary Parker and Lee Strobel have both written books on Evolution vs. Creation and this topic also interests me. The evidence involved for both sides, particularly that of the Universe and space could be developed into art. This is in a completely different area than the first idea, and both concepts are broad at the moment. But I’ll use either one of these as a starting point for developing the first project.
As far as artists go, I looked at Ron Pippin and Mark Dion. Ron works with old fashion mechanics and experimentation. He uses antique materials to make examination stations to look at bones or hold old test tubes. Mark is more into the natural sciences, seeing how man made objects and nature interact. Both artists are relatively unrelated to my interest in psychology, but I did look at both and enjoyed seeing what areas of science they explored and how they communicated their ideas.
