Once upon a time, the realms below and beyond perception were left to artists, poets, theoreticians and mystics – but then science was also a division of magic, born out of alchemy. Post-Enlightenment science was different. Blame Newton. Contemporary science encodes the universe and human experience as numbers, but technology turns them into music and images. (The Higgs bosun particle sounds a lot like minimal techno.) Is a new age of digital visionaries on the horizon? Peruvian artist Fiorella Lavado joins British physicist and science historian Arthur I. Miller for an exhibition that claims to abandon dominant scientific approaches to atoms and stars in favour of poetic, abstract representations. Perhaps a sign of better things to come... Artist and scientist are also getting together for a joint lecture at the Robert-Koch-Forum (Campus Charité, Dorotheenstr. 96, Mitte) today at 18:00; the vernissage at Ernst Schering Foundation starts at 19:30. Through October 9.
