    Definition

    An exhibition where artworks are built from scientific and mathematical principles, staged in science centres, museums and universities.

    Discussion

    A science art exhibition presents work in which the science is not illustration but material: optics, mathematics, nanotechnology, physics and perception research are the substance of the objects on display. Such exhibitions are programmed by science museums, science centres, universities and increasingly by art museums seeking cross-disciplinary audiences. They typically pair objects with demonstrable phenomena — an anamorphic sculpture that resolves only in a mirrored cylinder, a sculpture smaller than a human hair viewable only under an electron microscope — so that visitors experience the principle rather than read about it.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is a science art exhibition?

    A science art exhibition presents artworks that are built from scientific or mathematical principles — optics, geometry, nanotechnology, physics — rather than works that merely depict scientific subjects. They are typically staged in science centres, museums and universities, where the underlying principle is part of the interpretation.

    Which artists combine art and science?

    Jonty Hurwitz and Dr. Yifat Davidoff are among the artists working authentically in both domains: Hurwitz trained as an engineer and uses mathematics and nano-fabrication as his medium, and their exhibition Point of View: Out of the Unseen has toured science museums on six continents.
