Abstract
This paper presents an approach demonstrating the following interaction between art & science: art is used as a means to illustrate science, on the one hand, and science serves as an instrumentality in creating art, on the other. Its major objective is to educate people to see science in the art and art in the science.
A demonstration of the subject appears in The museum of Art & Science founded by the author in 1998 at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel (www.bgu.ac.il/museum) as well as in the book The One Face of Art & Science by the author containing about 500 pictures demonstrating the above interaction. This book may also serve as a useful text book for a new introductory course in schools or universities on the Interactions Between Art & Science as well as a source of ideas for establishing exhibitions or museums on Art & Science for the benefit of the society and the future generation.
