A three-day symposium exploring convergences between artistic and scientific disciplines. Opening with an Einstein quote about how different disciplines create simplified models of the world, the event emphasized historical polymaths like Imhotep, Zhang Heng, Da Vinci, and Hildegard de Bingen as evidence of enduring art-science connections. The description notes: "from the drawing of star maps and anatomical sketches to the math and physics of optics and perspective, to the latest technological advances in computer design," demonstrating interdisciplinary dependence.
