Sigma Xi, the scientific research honor society, The San Francisco Bay Chapter of the Society for Neuroscience, Manresa Gallery and Keen on art, announce the exhibit As Above As Below: cosmic and brain webs, a cross-fertilization of the arts and the sciences.
As Above As Below is an Astro/Neuro/Art exhibit that aims to cultivate, optimize, and sustain dialogue between artistic and scientific inquiry through collaborative exchanges. The pursuit of new connections, explorations, and artistic presentations at the nexus of the arts and the sciences is at its heart.
9 Bay Area Artists worked hand-in-hand with 7 renowned Astrophysicists and 6 Neuroscientists to explore parallels between galactic and neuronal networks. Their unique visions will be showcased through six multi-media and interactive exhibits.
By experiencing art through a scientific perspective, the As Above As Below audience will be immersed in the fascinating worlds of art and images created by artists and scientists who are pushing the boundaries between art and science through the exploration of new inquiries into the micro and macro worlds.
The sense of wonder towards such inquiries and into what considerations they may reveal fascinates both the participating scientists and artists.
As Above As Below is a manifestation of their collective revelations.
