# Science Art Exhibition

Also: sci-art exhibition, art and science exhibition, STEAM exhibition, science centre exhibition

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

## 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.
