Art and science: two cultures or two sides of same coin?
It can be argued that art and science are two sides of the same coin – two aspects of creativity. It is striking that art and science became increasingly abstract in the twentieth century, almost in parallel. Why? How? In my lecture I shall look into all of this and what it tells us about artistic and scientific creativity.

Arte e scienza: due culture oppure due lati della stessa moneta?
Si può supporre che l’arte e la scienza sono le due parti della stessa moneta - due aspetti della creatività. E’ chiaro che l’arte e la scienza diventano astratti nel ventesimo secolo, per lo più in parallelo. Perché? Come? Nella mia lettura approfondirò tutto questo e che cosa emerge riguardo la creatività artistica e scientifica.
