The Book of Optics, written by the Arab scholar Ibn al Haytham in
1021 AD, formed the conceptual framework of the Public Art Program
of EXPO 2020 in Dubai. Eleven renowned artists were invited to
create newly commissioned, permanent artworks in public space to
explore this central work of medieval science. The publication
presents the works together with numerous text contributions. They
explore the philosophical definitions of vision, cognition, and the
importance of imagination in constructing a coherent picture of
reality. With over 190 countries participating, EXPO 2020 in Dubai
brought together numerous cultural and artistic initiatives to
build bridges between people, communities and nations.
