Refractions of Science into Art

Abstract

Art critics in the centuries to come will, I expect, look back on our age and come to conclusions quite different than our own experts. Most likely the painters and sculptors esteemed today will nearly have been forgotten, and instead the appearance of electronic media will be hailed as the most significant turn in the history of art. The debut of those first halting and immature attempts to achieve that ancient goal, namely the pictorial expression and representation of our world, but with a new media, will finally be given due recognition.
