Telescope

Science and art rely on the same basic principles: Observation, creative inquiry, and experimentation.  The perceptive observer is the essence of both. And yet science and art typically have separate domains that feel and look very different. This exhibit presents art that is expressed with a direct link to the science that enabled it (for example 3D photography), and art that includes expressions of science (for example, water-powered movement, or color coding the movements of a bush in the wind.)

The telescope is an observational tool. As a title, ‘Telescope’ references both the principle of observation and the tools that artists use to observe, transform, and document their subject matter.
