That struck me too - Brian Eno said the same at a talk of his I attended. He has friends in both disciplines and remarked on how different the thought processes and methods are. I studied both sculpture (to BA level) and neuroscience (to MSc level) and feel the same. This sounds like one of those things that people from one discipline say after a shallow engagement with the other. (In my definition of "shallow" I include people who have seemingly spent quite a bit of time studying something, but somehow seem to miss its essence, much as that sounds like a "no true Scotsman" argument).
- convolvatron 3y agoI'm an engineer, not a scientist, but I've worked a lot with them, and also worked for many years directly with artists. I think we can work together much more constructively than we do. but in each of those three areas, we really do approach work in a very different way. in the end, I think the differences are a net positive, but they certainly have to be managed.
