Here are some of our favourite links related to art & science.

		Santiago Calatrava One of the best architect in the world. When the shapes come from the dynamic answer to the forces, well, that's elegance of being in the world.

		Renzo Piano Creativity doesn't mean to be free from rules. Any project is a new challenge and you have to start from scratch, creating your rules and playing with them. Technology could be a rule.

		Leonardo da Vinci Everybody knows that the earliest known studies on the analisys of the perspective are from Leonardo, as well as the studies on the lightness and shadowiness... Well, everybody knows the final look of the rough here aside, and part of the huge Leonardo's opera.

		Roger Guillemin Roger Guillemin won the Nobel Prize in 1977 for discoveries that laid the foundation for brain hormone research. Guillemin also was among the first to isolate endorphins, brain molecules known to act as natural opiates. Following the isolation of endorphins, his work with cellular growth factors (FGFs), in addition to inhibins and activins, led to the recognition of multiple physiological functions and developmental mechanisms. Since his retirement from the active pursuit of science in 1989, Guillemin has shifted his long-standing expertise with computers from science to art. He is using the Macintosh computer to create images/paintings that are eventually transferred to paper or canvas. Click on the image aside to see more paintings by Roger Guillemin.

		Mark Fisher Mark Fischer is a young talented artist representing sounds into pictures. The image here aside is made from the sounds of a white-beaked dolphin recorded near Iceland. Courtesy of Mark Fischer.

		Carol Pfeffer The relationship between Art and Science has been a growing part of the art world culture since 1986 when the Biennale di Venezia was devoted to Arte e Scienza. The Carol Pfeffer's Optical Birefringence series is an application of physics photography using optics as a pigment and the science of light as the content of the work.

		Bauhaus 1919-33 The Bauhaus began with an utopian definition: "The building of the future" was to combine all the arts in ideal unity. This required a new type of artist beyond academic specialisation, for whom the Bauhaus would offer adequate education. In order to reach this goal, the founder, Walter Gropius, saw the necessity to develop new teaching methods and was convinced that the base for any art was to be found in handicraft. The reality of technical civilisation, however, led to requirements that could not only be fulfilled by a revalorisation of handicraft. In 1923, the Bauhaus reacted with a changed program, which was to mark its future image under the motto: "art and technology - a new unity". Industrial potentials were to be applied to satisfactory design standards, regarding both functional and aesthetic aspects.
