The power of imagination makes us infinite.

Dr. Kuchera-Morin explained the new possibilities the AlloSphere presents through its integration of science and art. Typically, the process of scientific observation begins with the fabrication of an experiment. Computer scientists then take the compiled data and input it into a super computer to generate some sort of simulation. The missing step here, told Kuchera-Morin, is the visualization. When scientists can see a visual representation of their data, what results is the possibility of further fabrication and opportunity for scientific discoveries previously unattainable.This process of infusing visualizations into scientific observations is so powerful in the AlloSphere because it puts the media artist into the forefront of the data, said Kuchera-Morin. The artist has no ties to the data; so partnering them with scientists and engineers creates content-driven technology, allowing for deeper observation of the power of hard art and science together as one.

The Marriage of Science and Art
Physicists study the fabric of reality, the invisible laws and particles that define the material world. Neuroscientists study our perceptions of this world; they dissect the brain in order to understand the human animal.

Art mystery with science
As Vladimir Nabokov, the novelist and lepidopterist, once put it, "The
greater one’s science, the deeper the sense of mystery."

Cosmology : We Are Stardust
Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust."– Lawrence Krauss (cosmologist)

Why science needs Art?
According to an article
on the Wired blog by Betsy Mason, science benefits when people draw their
field notes by hand.

Things that make you go hmmm...
Albert Einstein once wrote: The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. So the unknown, the mysterious, is where art and science meet.

This mobile is a powerful example of how an art form can be tailored to the physiology of a specific area in the brain. Calder’s composition anticipated, artistically, the physiological properties of the cells of an area called V5, which are selectively responsive to motion and its direction. Viewed from a distance, the separate pieces of the mobile appear as static spots of varying sizes. But as the pieces move in different directions, each one stimulates only the category of cell that is selectively responsive to the direction in which the spot is moving. —Semir Zeki, Neuroscientist, University College London © Christie’s Images/Corbis
