Science and Art Symposium 2000
Some words about SCART 2000. SCART stands for science and art. SCART meetings are organized in a loose time sequence by an international group of scientists, most of them fluid-dynamicists. The first meeting was held in Hong-Kong, the second one in Berlin, and the third, and latest, one in Zurich. SCART meetings include a scientific conference and a number of art events. The intention is to restart a dialogue between scientists and artists which was so productive in the past. To achieve this goa...

Yet emphasizing the duty and right of individually initiated jihad is only one side of do-it-yourself Islam. The other involves protecting the purity of...
Examining afresh the 16th-century style of mannerism, Sjoerd van Tuinen synthesises philosophy and aesthetics to demonstrate not only the contemporary relevance of mannerism but its broader significance as a form of modal thinking. Beyond a style of art that spurned the balance and proportion of earlier Renaissance painting in favour of compositional instability and tension, this book looks a-historically at mannerism to investigate what it can tell us about continental modal m...

The years of John F. Kennedy's rise to political power, his administration and his tragic death evoke extraordinarily vivid memories - images of the photogenic young president, his political campaigns, his dramatic oratorical style, his beautiful family and the momentous events of those times. These images, which were broadcast by the new and burgeoning medium of television, published in lushly illustrated magazines such as "Life" and "Look", and reproduced seemingly everywhere in a culture of u...
