Abstract
Are you ready to think outside the box? Symbiosis between art, science and technology

Much was said about how to achieve the convergence of Snow's two cultures, at this point we allow ourselves to disagree and talk about the symbiosis of the sciences and the arts rather than convergence, since in some way they were never separated, theorists have shown us another scenario
In every case, technology was necessary as a mean of expression, from cave paintings that required very elaborate technology to produce pigments to their application technique
Summary
In Ancient Greece the word tékne (τέχνη) was used to express any task whether technological, scientific or artistic, there was no differentiation. The apparent antagonism between arts and science generated many discussions, some of them took public status when Charles Percy Snow mentioned it in a conference called The Two Cultures in which he expressed the differences between science and literature, highlighting a sort of confrontation. They seemed separate and specific domains, the humanists on the one hand and the scientists on the other. Much was said about how to achieve the convergence of Snow's two cultures, at this point we allow ourselves to disagree and talk about the symbiosis of the sciences and the arts rather than convergence, since in some way they were never separated, theorists have shown us another scenario
