Primitive Learning: Accumulative Learning and the Transmittance of Knowledge
Primitive Learning series results from the Filippo Sciascia’s exploration of the intersection of science and art. Specifically, in this solo exhibition, Sciascia uses light as a metaphor and exploration tool to demonstrate how science and art can collaborate. While science provides rigid data about a particular phenomenon or event, art can provoke thought, engage in research, tell stories, and prompt reflection on the cumulative work of science. The exhibition, titled “Primitive Learning: Accumulative Learning And The Transmittance Knowledge Of The Light,” will showcase several works illustrating the relevance of light to our daily lives and how it builds upon the accumulated knowledge from before modern times. This body of work represents a successful fusion of science and art, using light as both a metaphor and a tool to show how art and science can aesthetically and functionally collaborate.
