Abstract
Science has a lot to learn from art and vice versa. An experience in collaboration, and the principles behind, is presented in this chapter. The computer and the science of fractals/chaos have provided scientists with more self-confidence in addressing the issues raised by non-scientists. Science has a long tradition of ignoring the real world. And in particular, the questions that children ask about the real world. And for good reasons, science has had absolutely nothing intelligent to say about these questions that children ask. Perhaps old heroes like Leonardo tried to study trees or eddies, but since then, these problems were simply too complicated to be dealt with through the help of Newtonian mathematics and physics. Art is a way of knowing the world and getting to know the world. Artists have an enormous bank of knowledge about materials, light, optics, human perception, visual illusions, the interpretation of space, interaction between objects and attention—not to speak of all the psychological knowledge present in the world of fiction.
