Symbiotic Art & Science: Can Artists Make Scientific Discoveries?
Art Works: "If we wish to promote the melding of arts and sciences, then there is an issue that was not formally raised at our conference that needs to be addressed: can artists make scientific discoveries? While I do not want to argue that the answer must be “yes” in order for there to be useful collaborations among artists and scientists, it seems to me that the case for melding arts and sciences becomes significantly stronger if it can be proven that artists, working as artists, can make significant contributions to science. While this task may seem impossible, there are, in fact, a large number of cases in which such contributions have been forthcoming.

This article shows that artists do help make scientific discoveries or bring up reasons for why something in science was discovered or created. Many times artists rely on the science to fully develop and create what they wish too, sometimes in hope of breaking the barriers that science imposes. I think that science and art go hand in hand and that, as the article states, scientists should not just think about making art, or artists think about making a scientific breakthrough, but collaborate, and both take advantage and claim for what becomes of the discovery.
