You will find here some media content and my crossover of art and science. This blog aims to show the strong links between art and the sciences. Often these two disciplines are described and thought of as incompatible. This separation between art and science is easily observed on university campuses where their respective faculties are located opposite the campus. Far from being conflicting subjects, they complete, help, grow, inspire and understand each other. There exist infinite amounts of ways to show the close relationship between art and science. Here are a few I like and wanted to share. I hope you like it. Enjoy the art, learn the science. I started this project on Instagram (@artlovesciences) a 8 years ago.

Title of Artwork: ‘Unifying Representations in Biological and Artificial Systems – in Dialogue with Clémentine Dominé, PhD candidate at the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit’.

Artwork by Mary Yacoob

Clémentine Dominé researches how representations in the brain and of artificial networks align or diverge, in order to reveal key computational similarities and distinctions, despite differing physical substrates and architectures. Clémentine provided Mary with an illustration she created using Artificial Intelligence. The drawing that Mary produced in response to this suggests a more speculative integration of organic and artificial systems.

Mary’s drawing adopts, deconstructs and merges symbols found in diagrams of neurons, circuit boards and artificial neural networks. The central image is inspired by a cross-section of a human brain. Frayed boundaries blend the central image into its surroundings, reflecting the notion of extended cognition, the idea that cognition involves networks of connections between the brain, body, tools, and the environment.
