✪ Art for Scientists.

As a frequent visitor of lectures by scientists, occasionally you will come across the most uninspired and dull visuals in power point presentations. Worst of all are the wobbly stick figures that look like the work of someones half witted nephew.
Clearly there is room for improvement and where better to look, than with the experts of visual representation, the artists.


Take for instance this brilliant artwork by mister Maurizio Cattelan.


La Nona Ora (the Ninth Hour)


Or this; could there be a more poetic illustration of the Holographic principle than this work by Noble and Webster?


Dirty White Trash.


This work by Yael Davids can be seen as a work about topology.


Aquarium.


The dirty sick world of Paul McCarthy can be used to discuss anything from entropy to social oppression or waste management.


Bossy Burger.


For waste you can also take a look at this machine by Wim Devoye that produces the closest thing to shit currently possible.


Cloaca.


Marcel Duchamp used great mathematical and scientific stuff in his work, like this thing that he called 'Occulist Witness'. Apparently it was used to restore three-dimensional vision to people with only one working eye. There is lodes more of good stuff like this that he used.


Occulist Witness.
