“Art and physics are a strange coupling. Of the many human disciplines, could there be two that seem more divergent? … Despite what appear to be irreconcilable differences, there is one fundamental feature that solidly connects these disciplines. Revolutionary art and visionary physics are both investigations into the nature of reality.” // Working at a library in the late ‘90’s I read Leonard Shlain’s “Art and Physics: Parallel Visions in Space, Time, and Light”. The book fundamentally shook how I approach my art. I had already understood that I was not a painter of pictures, and I think I was pretty firmly planted in abstract expressionism. This book helped me move past that ego-centric sphere and start to address issues of object impermanence, the fallacy of time, and attempting to capture the essence of light passing while remaining constant. // #physics #art #space #time #light #leonardshlain (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0_KG6Cn7hz/?igshid=cq3yvuyilpyj

Great story, verging on the “if it’s too good to be true, it probably isn’t.” Kinda reminds me of how exciting it is to watch Tarzan travel through the jungle from conveniently located vine to the next.
Not doubting everything is true, just that as in the absence of proof is not proof of absence, the presence of evidence is not evidence that everything is presented.
