and here on the google homepage for today:
Art is science made clear.
- Jean Cocteau
I've run around lots of stuff - finding quotes about it all...
hadn't seen that one...
part of the lecture is taking 5 minutes and asking the audience to write down their definitions for both art and science and then using those definitions as a building point for the discussion/direction of the talk...
Art is science made clear...
cool quote, but i can't really agree with it...
but...
won't expound on why not...
--
headlight battery died on the way home... when NiCad dies... it dies... at least there was a totally kick ass moon...
and when i do have the light on and i see someone else with lights i'll point the beam down... not like some guy headed to a night ride - kept his nice HID light pointed up as he rode past, said hi, and blinded me... NICE...

"Art is science made clear"
I don't think I can wrap my brian around what that means.
-if you present your science in an artful way it will be more clear?
-Ah, the power of a well-made chart?!
But if it means science is not clear, but art is... mmm, don't think so (coming from someone who does not get most "art"... beauty in nature, yes, "art" no)
Art is an expression of communication. Science is the same... in a sense if you will...
They both rely on the commonality of communication...
Chart? PfffT
IMAGE
Plate... figures... pictures...
that's the essence of science communication...
it was Hackel's pictures that captured people's imagination, not the written descriptions.
the nice thing about the quote is that its open ended and slightly ambiguous, leading to lots of introspection and mental exercising that is in general VERY good....
time to load the trailer, change into my winter plastic wear (no wool yet - other than my nice DeFeet the BLAZE socks)...
