Sept.3, 2011 – February 5, 2012

Reception: Oct.2, 2011 (3-5pm)

It’s not often that a noted author is comfortable writing about both art and science. Philip Ball, who was an editor at NATURE magazine for 20-years, is just such a person. http://www.philipball.co.uk

In Philip’s September 2011 column, The Crucible, in Chemistry World magazine, he speaks about “sciart”, the “art-science divide”, a possible ”third-culture”, science skeptics, and ASCI’s current international digital print exhibition, The Alchemy of Change.

http://www.rsc.org/chemistryworld/Issues/2011/September/ColumnThecrucible.asp

And, in his Sept.1st “news” posting on Chemistry World’s blog, Ball comments on works in the exhibition in the context of reflecting on what “an amazing visual language it [chemistry] has cultivated” as compared with physics. In quite a sophisticated artistic stance, he states that the images he liked best were those “that seem to transcend the knowable, the boundaried, the certain and familiar…” [somewhat like chemistry itself]
