An exhibition project to develop and promote interdisciplinary collaboration between the world of art and the world of science for a new vision and understanding of reality
THE PROJECT
curated by Marilena Streit-Bianchi and Kerstin Petrick
LIGHT IN THE DARK is an exhibition project aimed at developing and promoting interdisciplinary collaboration between the worlds of Art and Science to produce a more conscious and related vision of the reality in which we live. This vision leads to deeper reflections on the complex dynamics of the human being, its origin and relationship with the surrounding environment. The project presents, through artistic representation (phosphorescent, fluorescent works and video projections), explanatory texts, interactive tools, lectures and books, some of the most fascinating and mysterious aspects of cosmology and contemporary physics: Supernovae, Multiverse and Dark Matter and Energy, making them easily accessible to a wide audience, highlighting and reinforcing understanding and awareness of the close relationship between man, art and science. A great opportunity to engage a wide audience and draw attention to the link between Art and Science. Reminding us that everything is in everything, ‘Light in the Dark’ links the macrocosm to the microcosm, the universe to man, science to transcendence; a hymn to life, its complexity and its magic. In the past, art, science and transcendence have been highly integrated and today they are once again trying to work together in what many are already calling “A New Renaissance“.
