seriously, fuck the false dichotomy between Science and The Arts. as if capital-S Science isn’t an art that requires creativity, perseverance, patience, and skilled observation. as if The Arts don’t require rigor, discipline, practice, and attention to detail. as if both aren’t cultural structures that stand on foundations of sexist, racist, capitalist hierarchy. as if they both can’t be used for purposes of enrichment and revolution. i am so fucking over this idea of presenting science and art as opposites, when they have so much more in common than people think.
UM!!!!!!! UM!!!! this is a beautiful post!!!! and I feel it with every part of my soul!
this makes me happy- because my oldest sister loves both, so she is now a chemist who works on art restoration and conservation 😁
If you’ve ever seen microscopic images of objects, the beauty of a rainbow, your favorite clouds, or enjoyed the peace of a forest walk, you know science is an art.
If you’ve ever admired paint mixing, wondered how someone could get the lighting so perfect on a photography shot, used the most efficient amount of fabric, or contoured the human face so beautifully, you know art is a science.
And you know that art and science are best buds that will fuck up anyone who dares to differ on either of those two facts.
