Art and science

Oil and water? At least that's how many critics see it.

However, some of the best art had something backing it up other than the personal taste of the artist. Historical paintings, mythological paintings, even da vinci's phsysiological drawings have all stood the test of time.

But down to the reviews,

http://www.art.uh.edu/dif/rathArtworks.html - cool site, taken from jill's email. Lots of interesting examples. The whole screen/tv with mouth or eyes, while somewhat unoriginal, definitely have an interesting effect. May just appropriate this idea in my own work.

http://www.rube-goldberg.com/ If you dont know who rube goldberg is you've probably been living under a rock. I like the concepts, but most of the images featured on sight seem somewhat, uncomplicated, compared to what I've seen before. I never liked his style honestly, but the way he creates the machines has fascinated me just as it has millions of others.

http://web.gc.cuny.edu/sciart/index.htm - a site I found on my own, while not much art shown, it does have a lot of information about events dealing with science and art.
