YLEM - Artists Using Science and Technology announces their next forum: ART AND PHYSICS Wednesday, January 6, 7:30 pm McBean Theatre, The Exploratorium 3601 Lyon Street, San Francisco, CA Info: Trudy Reagan 415-856-9593 YLEM Forums are free and open to the public. YLEM is a group of people interested in Art and Science. Anyone with an interest in Art and/or Science is welcome! Come and meet some like minded Artomata... This is also a FREE NIGHT at the Exploratorium so come early and enjoy the exhibits! THE PROGRAM: Leonard Shlain, MD Shlain talks on his book of the same name (Art and Physics), showing many examples that had to be omitted from the book. Later he will discuss the Origin of the Left Brain. At intermission we will talk with artists staging an exhibit in the lobby - artists whose work ties in with the lectures. The thesis of Leonard Shlain's book, Art and Physics, is unusual: Art interprets the visual world, physics charts its workings - and so the two seem completely opposed. But in this brilliant piece of cultural detective work, Shlain tracks their breakthroughs side by side throughout history to reveal an astonishing coincidence of visions. From classical Greek sculptors to Andy Warhol and Jasper Johns, and from Aristotle to Einstein, artists foreshadow the discoveries of scientists, sometimes by more than a century.
