I don’t know too much about him or what is involved in his art, which is is why I plan on going to hear him lecture at the National Academy of Science next week.

<p>I was reminded of my plans, while viewing the &#8220;Corot to Picasso&#8221; exibit at the Phillips Gallery with my old friend Ana.  I also started thinking about a book I saw in Bridge Street Books on Saturday called &#8220;Einstein, Picasso: Space, Time, and the Beauty That Causes Havoc</p>

<p>,&#8221; by Arthur Miller.  <a href="http://www.physicstoday.org/pt/vol-54/iss-12/p49.html">&#8220;Arthur Miller addresses an important question: What was the connection, if any, between the simultaneous appearance of modern physics and modern art at the beginning of the 20th century?&#8221;</a></p>

<p>and ok, so i haven&#8217;t gotten through <span class="caps">GEB</span> yet&#8230;yet, but it has me wondering about science/art and social shift.  i think about heller&#8217;s work and i wonder what the next step will be or if it has already happened.  or whether there will be a &#8220;step&#8221; at all?</p>
