In recent decades, an exciting new art movement has emerged in
which artists utilize and illuminate the latest advances in
science. Some of their provocative creations a live rabbit
implanted with the fluorescent gene of a jellyfish, a gigantic
glass-and-chrome sculpture of the Big Bang (pictured on the cover)
can be seen in traditional art museums and magazines, while others
are being made by leading designers at Pixar, Google s Creative
Lab, and the MIT Media Lab. In Colliding Worlds, Arthur I. Miller
takes readers on a wild journey to explore this new frontier.
Miller, the author of Einstein, Picasso and other celebrated
books on science and creativity, traces the movement from its seeds
a century ago when Einstein s theory of relativity helped shape the
thinking of the Cubists to its flowering today. Through interviews
with innovative thinkers and artists across disciplines, Miller
shows with verve and clarity how discoveries in biotechnology,
cosmology, quantum physics, and beyond are animating the work of
designers like Neri Oxman, musicians like David Toop, and the
artists-in-residence at CERN s Large Hadron Collider.
From NanoArt to Big Data, Miller reveals the extraordinary
possibilities when art and science collide."
