Howard Rheingold Selected Reviews: Art & Physics

Howard Rheingold Selected Reviews: Art & Physics: "Art and Physics: Parallel Visions in Space, Time, & Light
By Leonard Shlain

William Morrow & Company, October 1991.

Review by Howard Rheingold.

Scientists think about the world in new ways. The equations or experiments that express scientific thoughts can trigger cultural revolutions, change nature itself. Artists see and hear the world in new ways, and the way they convey their transformed perceptions in grace notes or brush strokes can help others experience a similar re-ordering of the senses. Science helps us understand how the world works. Art helps us interpret what reality means.

So goes the common wisdom.

But what if turns out that the scientists couldn?t do what they do unless the artists first helped them to reperceive the universe?"

Hmm, like you weren?t already a believer. 7 p.m. Free. 13315 W. Washington Blvd., L.A., (310) 577-3000. Yosan.edu. "

ADULT CHILDREN ANONYMOUS: THE PROBLEM: "We somehow get guilt feelings if we stand up for ourselves rather than giving in to others. Thus, we become REACTORS rather than ACTORS, letting others take the initiative.

We are dependent personalities who are terrified of abandonment... who will do almost anything to hold on to a relationship in order not to be abandoned emotionally."
