Science and Art, Kunst und Wissenschaft, Arte y Ciencia
Upcoming: Interdisciplinary Event Science, Philosophy and Art
(to be held in German)
„The Big Picture“ ist eine Auftaktveranstaltung konzipiert als interdisziplinärer Nachmittag und anschließender Vormittag - für Jung und Alt.
Weiden, Austria, 19. and 20. September, 2026 https://www.the-big-picture.at/
The Big Picture ist auch ein gemeinnütziger Verein, der komplexe Themen durch kreative Formate, Workshops und Vorträge einem breiten Publikum näherbringen will - verständlich und inspirierend.

Science Art - seeking nature´s patterns beyond scientific view
Nature reveals fundamental patterns through its forms and phenomena. These can be understood as the aesthetics of nature.
Science seeks to describe these patterns in rational concepts. The human mind also reproduces them intuitively through artistic expression. Both aim to explore, capture and communicate aspects of this existence, albeit with different capacities of the mind. In this way, science and art complement each other. No more, no less. See further «Publications».
Science Art is an oeuvre that places scientific subject matter at the center of artistic work.
The work of R. Friedrich Bliem is one example of this approach. It explores how patterns from biology and evolution can be translated into visual and aesthetic experience.
Bliem’s work aims to communicate these patterns through aesthetic experience, evoking a feeling for science, ideally without the need for much explanation. His Science Art seeks to raise curiosity and inspire. Nothing more. Nothing less. See «Science Art».
Collaborations
In a recent collaborative project, Bliem explored the role of art in the context of AI technologies and human robot collaboration within the LBI-MedNet project TechArt TechArt. In this work he implemented as a case study the concept of Chaos and Order as Design Elements in Evolutionary Biology and the Visual Arts, which resulted in two exhibitions hosted by LBI and a conference presentation on the subject - see below for images from this collaboration.
Art, Science, Philosophy: Materializing cellular emergence from chaos and order: the drawing machine generates structure while the human artist introduces essential chaos. («TechArt», «Publications»)
Two ongoing collaborations aim to bring Science Art to a broader public.
A collaborative project with the renowned scientist and entrepreneur, DI Dr. Gottfried Himmler, will find its first realization in the event „Big Picture“ – see above.
A collaboration with SGEM Vienna has resulted in a forthcoming book titled Feeling Science – A Journey through Evolution, as well as two exhibitions. More information is available via SGEM Vienna.
A Journey Through Evolution
From a single, organized cell to contemplating minds, from molecular order to artificial intelligence, the story told in paintings traces a unfolding of complexity. The evolution of life has been one of design and emergence, stability and change, instruction and improvisation. The title of the first work in a line of 14, "I am designed. What, then, will I become?", remains open.
