Exhibition: Brought to Light: Photography and the Invisible, 1840–1900

San Francisco Museum of Modern Art | Saturday, October 11, 2008 - Sunday, January 04, 2009
Modern science and photography flowered simultaneously in the early 19th century, and photography was adopted as a scientific tool from the first years of its invention. Over the course of the century, scientists made pictures using the microscope and the telescope, capturing previously hidden realms both infinitesimally small and unimaginably large. They used photography to analyze motion, to see into faraway galaxies, and to look inside the human body.

Video: Stroke of Insight by Jill Bolte Taylor

TED has a video that is a must see for anyone interested in how the brain works. Jill Bolte Taylor got a research opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: She had a massive stroke, and watched as her brain functions -- motion, speech, self-awareness –- shut down one by one. This talk tells her astonishing story.

Exhibition: Art and Light

In 2001, I read the catalogue for a show titled "Light: The Industrial Age 1750-1900, Art and Science, Technology and Society." Although I never did see the show, its only venue in the US was the Carnegie Museum of Art, the catalogue made a tremendous impression on me. Before this, I had never given serious thought to how much electricity has altered our ability to read, work, make art, etc. The 2001 exhibition was organized with the Van Gogh Museum and was, in part, motivated by a desire to demonstrate that even the greatest artists struggled with the variables of natural and artificial light. One incentive to mount the show was that Van Gogh mentioned in his letters that his paintings looked different in daylight and gaslight.
