This show reveals congruencies between the curiosity and compulsions that drive both scientists and artists. Science and art seek answers to similar questions, questions that stretch our sense of where life and consciousness begin and end. In rendering the invisible visible, the intangible material, art and science give us a glimpse into lives we cannot imagine and bodies we cannot relate to. Both artistic and scientific images are filled with marvel at the phenomena and spirit of life.
