About this Event
SciArt Santa Fe is proud to present the New Mexico Premiere of “György Kepes: Interthinking Art + Science” a new film by Marton Orosz at Entropy Gallery
With the scientist’s brain, the poet’s heart and the painter’s eye—this was the proverb of the Hungarian-American artist, educator, and impresario György Kepes, a forgotten precursor of media art. Kepes was among the first who used the term „visual culture” as an independent research subject in a contemporary sense. As the architect of the Light Workshop at the New Bauhaus/School of Design in Chicago in 1937 and as the founder and first director of the Center for Advanced Visual Studies (CAVS) at MIT in 1967, Kepes’s enterprise was to fill the gap between the humanities and the sciences. The powerful new tools he offered to intersee and intercommunicate knowledge on a participatory basis proved to be the foundation that defined the aesthetic agency of ecological consciousness.
The film will be introduced by art/science pioneer Richard Lowenberg.
