Ajouter au panierScience is as much a visual practice as a textual or quantitative one. For centuries, scientists have used microscopes, telescopes, painting, illustration, printing, and photography to perceive nature and communicate what they see in it, often in collaboration with artists. In the twentieth century, scientists also came to see creativity as an essential resource and looked to art to foster it. Crossing Over is an interdisciplinary publication that looks at one prominent university-the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena-as a site for scientific and artistic image production. Uncovering the rich pictorial record embedded in its archives and special collections, a team of visual culture scholars examines Caltech through a series of tightly focused case studies. How, the authors ask, have science and engineering institutions like Caltech used scientific representation, art, and architecture to construct themselves and produce discovery and invention? This book will reveal new facets of life and work at Caltech that will be illuminating even to those familiar with the school, showcasing views that informed-and were informed by-the vibrant visual culture of Southern California."For morethan a century, the California Institute of Technology has been a world-leaderin science and technology. Less well known is the rich visual culture-whetherin the form of fine art, astrophotography, architectural drawings, orbiological illustrations-that has accompanied and amplified Caltech's researchmission. With Crossing Over, Sachs Collopy and Bohn-Spector haveassembled a marvelous collection of essays and artworks which showcase how thevisual arts have been essential ingredients in Caltech's accomplishments. Thisbook is a joy to view."-W. Patrick McCray, University of California, SantaBarbara.
