In recent times, artists rely increasingly on science and technology, whereas scientists frequently use such an aesthetic term like beauty. This shows that the gap between the two cultures are narrowing down due to the necessity of both sides. The historical interaction between science and art has been extensively discussed by the historians of art and those of science. As the complexities of scientific and artistic practices were uncovered, similarities between them were also revealed.
The goals of this paper, which explores the relationship and interactions between science and art, are the following three. The first is to bridge the gap between the two cultures (i.e., science and art) by disclosing the mutual influences between them Second, drawing on recent works on the nature of scientific and artistic creativity, this paper aims to show some similarities and even common factors between scientific and artistic creativity. Finally, by highlighting similarities and common elements between scientific and artistic creativity, this paper will emphasize the role of imagination, insight, emotion and visualization not only in art but also in science.
