Science Art
Seeking the microcosms 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. In this way, science and art complement each other. Both aim to explore and communicate aspects of existence. 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. Key questions include how evolution reveals its fundamental structures and how these can be represented visually.
Bliem’s work aims to communicate these patterns by evoking them through aesthetic experience, ideally without verbal explanation. His Science Art seeks to raise curiosity and inspire. Nothing more. See «Science Art».
Art, Science, Philosophy: Materializing cellular emergence from chaos and order: the drawing machine generates structure while the human artist introduces essential chaos. («TechArt», «Publications»)
Ongoing Project: A Journey Through Evolution
From a single organized cell to minds contemplating minds, from molecular order to artificial intelligence, the story in paintings traces a continuous unfolding of complexity. At every stage, life exists between stability and change, instruction and improvisation, design and emergence.
The question posed by the first work remains unanswered until the last:
I am designed. What, then, will I become?
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. This work was implemented as a case study on the concept of Chaos and Order as Design Elements in Evolutionary Biology and the Visual Arts and resulted in two exhibitions hosted by LBI.
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.
An Invitation
to anyone who would like to communicate on the subject of Science Art.
