A collective to celebrate the beauty of the connections between science and art, two apparently independent disciplines that are, in reality, constantly intertwined.

The exhibition “A scientific world with fancy ideas” at the Today Art Museum of Beijing is jointly organized by the Art & Science Research Center (Beijing) and the magazine Chinese National Geographic and it displays more than 40 scientific and artistic masterpieces from 12 artists whose works were included in a book, having the same name and divided in 12 chapters.

Professor Bernardo Cesare, geologist and specialist of micro-photography, is among the artists-scientists that were selected for this project: in the book it’s possible to admire the beauty of the rocks observed under a polarizing microscope, as Bernardo Cesare’s photographic project “MicROCKScopicA - Rock Art” has been revealing for years.
