Abstract: Artists and scientists alike seek out visual images of worlds both visible and invisible. They attempt to ‘read’ nature in very similar ways: artists make drawings as they work towards the finished canvas while scientists use mathematics as a tool to work towards a scientific theory. I will explore this fascinating realm of highly speculative thought and look into some fundamental questions: Are there similarities in the creative processes of artists and scientists? If so, what are they? And how can cognitive science help us understand the nature of creativity?
NeuroArts Conference
Roland Levinsky Building
University of Plymouth
I am an artist and a mathematician, Jill Rock exhibits my work, my last gig was the Kurt Schwitters 10th conference in October 2010 in amble side
I have done 10 years research into harmonic patterns in the stone age
I have just read 137, and notice that paulis dreams are very similar to the harmonic pattern of the sphinx temple
his taxi ride round the square to a harmonic episode in Epic of Gilgamesh (a “harmonic” text!)
his clock in 3 dimensions + black bird to the harmonic zodiac except I would have hoped fo 64 instead of 32 divisions
Pauli was being invited to explore the sunconscious in the way that the Epic of Gilgamesh explains
by taking the anticlockwise route around the zodiac and hence exploring time past
where the harmonic ratios of the theology is very similar to the electron orbit problems that he was facing
in particular the 4 dimensional aspect comes out of egyptian geometrical philosophy
which had a 2 dimensional square as the unit of matter and lines and points could not “exist”
