December 1 - February 2010 ~ Science & Art at Discovery Place
Another great exhibit from the Arkansas Discovery Network, Science and Art explores the relationship between these two fields in creating inspiration and innovation. Return to the TMS Homepage and click on the Discovery Place photo for more information about this fun exhibit.
From the ADN Website: "This exhibit looks at how science and art work together to inspire innovative creations that enhance our lives and open our minds. You will meet five scientists who have used both science and art in their work, and learn what inspires them. There will also be plenty of opportunities to experience science and art firsthand with several hands-on interactive activities."
Here is a special video presentation from Robert Lang on the relationship between mathematics and origami:
