Art ex­hi­bits

The art ex­po­sure in the Phae­no mer­ge art, sci­ence and tech­no­lo­gy in a fa­sci­na­ting way. A high­light is the “Si­sy­phus” sculp­tu­re by Bruce Sha­pi­ro, in which two me­tal balls pull end­less pat­terns in the sand. This in­stal­la­ti­on sym­bo­li­zes the cy­cli­cal na­tu­re of life and sti­mu­la­tes thin­king about the mea­ning and in­com­ple­ten­ess of hu­man ef­forts. Other re­mar­kab­le works such as “Ma­chi­ne and Con­cre­te” play wi­th the li­mits of mo­ve­ment and me­cha­nics by ma­king the in­vi­si­ble vi­si­ble to us — the mo­ve­ment of ge­ars that con­ti­nues wi­t­hout any re­co­gnizable ch­an­ge. The­se works of art in­vi­te vi­si­tors to think about the com­bi­na­ti­on of tech­no­lo­gy, aes­the­tics and phi­lo­so­phy and to dis­co­ver the crea­ti­ve power of sci­ence.
