Hurwitz Singularity: Review by Art and Science Moderator Riccardo Tonin

Man has always used art and science to know and explain the world. Apparently, these disciplines seem different and irreconcilable, but if we mix them the result will be not only interesting but winning. The great minds of the Italian Renaissance, such as Brunelleschi and Leonardo, always combined art and science in their works, and the Ancient Greeks coined the term techne to indicate both ‘art’ and ‘technique’. Nowadays, the intersection between these disciplines seems more necessary than ever: this is the challenge of Science Gallery, that tries to see things differently, like a kaleidoscope in which art and science give birth to curious and unexpected effects. The current theme, ILLUSION, well conveys the approach of the exhibition, able to involve both younger and older people by offering several levels of interpretation and creating a totally immersive environment, bar none. Indeed, the impression I have got working at the exhibition is that everyone can find their own dimension.
