“The schism and dynamics between art and science, be it the practice or its study, is explored and challenged with refreshing insight and commentary in this book. Clarissa Lee’s articulate reflections . . . draw from years of professional and academic practice in both domains.” – Dr Daniel Loy, Monash University Malaysia.

In this book of short essays, paired with accompanying exercises, Clarissa Lee explores the concept and practice of artscience, which provides a bridge beyond the illusory division of art and science into "two cultures". Artscience transcends disciplinary identification, and yet it is derived from how art and science meet and collaborate. Regardless whether you are reading this from the background of someone who is science- or art-inclined, this book provides an alternative education for a new day and age through a study of topics as varied as the geometry of beehives, quantum behaviour and colonial science, as well as explorations of the nature of the scientist and time, space and memory.
