Art and
Exploring the connections between art and the topics that move our world: climate, globalism, technology, science, health, law, finance, theft, international relations, destruction, religion and death.
Climate.
Art and Climate examines how art can be used as an analyzable data set, illuminating important climate information to those who hold the keys to decipher it. It reveals the hidden secrets held in Van Gogh’s swirling skies, the graceful necks of giraffes of prehistoric cave art and the bustling Venetian canals of Canaletto’s 18th century masterpieces.
Health.
Art and Health explores everything from tracking the artistic impact of Monet’s Cataracts and Degas’ Retinal Disease on their work and the emerging field of neuroaesthetics which uses brain scans to understand the effect of art on our health, to the history and use of poisonous pigments in paint used for centuries.
International Relations.
Art and International Relations explores how the cultural sector can be an arena of international relations. Political power differentials are displayed, exploited and prolonged; national pride and historical indignities fuel markets and ignite illegal schemes; and how alliances are built, strengthened and celebrated through the darkest times in history.
Law.
Coming Soon.
Technology.
Art and technology explains a number of procedures including chemical analyses of physical samples, noninvasive diagnostics using advanced imaging techniques, and scanning and rendering methods for conservation. This work details how technology can facilitate the conservation, study, documentation, reconstruction, authentication and sale of art.
Finance.
Coming Soon.
