Art at the edge… of science: Professor and author Arthur I. Miller at the Athens Science Festival

11 March, 2015 News

Emeritus professor of History and Philosophy of Science at University College London and distinguished author Arthur I. Miller is visiting Athens to participate in the Athens Science Festival.

In his latest book “Colliding Worlds: How Cutting-Edge Science is Redefining Contemporary Art”, Miller tells the story of how art, science and technology intersect in the 21st century. The arts are currently undergoing a silent revolution. Artists work hand in hand with scientists to produce unexpected works, which could change the way we see the world today.

What are the art forms that come out of the interaction between art and science?

How did this interaction begin and where does it lead in the 21st century?
How do the concepts of art and aesthetics redefine themselves?

Prof Arthur I. Miller will explore the above and many more issues in his presentation entitled “How Cutting-Edge is Redefining Contemporary Art” which will be held on Wednesday 18 March, at 19.00 at the 9.84 Amphitheatre in Technolopolis.
