Leaders of all kinds, including artists that might influence the way we feel and scientists that might direct the way we reason, are pressed to give such answers. Today, while global warming, inequality, digitalization, and migration bring instability and change to our societies and global mindsets, there is an urgent need for answers, reliability, and guidance.

The playfulness and free experimenting sadly transformed into competition and a fixation on what they call “excellence”.

They each developed their curiosity and creativity into diligent practices and professional attitudes, and started to work within strict disciplinary boundaries. One would ask, ‘What is this?’, ‘How did it become this way?’ and ‘Why is this the way it is?’ While the other asks, ‘What might this also be?’, ‘How can we see this differently?’ and ‘What will this be if…?’Īrt and science have always learned and grown together, but over the last few centuries, they have started to grow more and more apart. While observing the same world, they pose different questions. These two children have much in common, yet they have different eyes, they see things differently. Both are not satisfied with the answers that are provided, and keep asking questions – obsessed with what is below the surface, beyond the horizon, and beneath the solid ground of our convictions. The worlds of both are filled with curiosity, take steps into the unknown, and embrace uncertainty and adventure. Different eyesĪrt and science are like children that always loved to play together.

It is true that science and art are both about creativity and research, but is there a concrete way for them to find each other? Is there urgency to bridge these two worlds? The answer to both these questions is a resounding yes. This topic can easily become filled with abstractions or generalities.
