CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF ART AND PHYSICS - LAURA PES...

Close Encounters of Art and Physics is a voyage in time through the abstract ideas harboured in
the minds of humans  starting from the graffiti art of cave dwellers and extending to the
street art of contemporary men and women. In seeking parallels with science  the author looks
far back to the first geometric ideas of our ancestors as well as ahead to the contemporary
science of present-day physicists. The parallelism and analogies between these two fields bear
witness to a real entanglement in the human brain. The second part of the book contains about
25 colour images showing the author's stunning glass artwork representing ideas such as dark
matter  quantum entanglement  cellular automata and many others that are almost impossible to
capture in words. Furthermore  many of the physicists who have themselves made major
contributions in these fields provide their comments and analysis of the works. The book
provides entertaining and informative reading  not only for practicing artists and physicists 
but also anyone curious about art and physics.
