A divide between science and art

Vsebina magistrskega dela govori o domnevnem razkolu med znanostjo in umetnostjo. Ali razkol med njima sploh obstaja in kako je videti v praksi. V delu je najprej predstavljenih nekaj avtorjev, ki se ukvarjajo s povezovanjem znanosti in umetnosti, nato se osredotoča na fotografe, ki so beležili znanstvena odkritja ter nadaljuje na raziskovanje znanstvene fotografije ? rentgenske fotografije. Opisuje njeno odkritje, uporabo rentgenskih žarkov danes in umetnike, ki ustvarjajo z rentgenskimi posnetki. Za rentgensko fotografijo sem se odločila, ker me zelo privlači njen videz. Kontrastne, temne fotografije in motiv, ki je (načeloma) neprepoznaven, neznan ter očem neviden, pa vendar je tam. Na koncu je kratko poglavje o abstrakciji, ki se navezuje na praktično delo ? kako znanstveno fotografijo pretvoriti v umetniško delo.The master’s thesis deals with the supposed division between the science and the arts. Does a divide between them really exist and how does this look like in practice? A number of authors who deal with the connection between the science and the arts are presented first. They are followed by photographers who record scientific discoveries. Furthermore, the exploring the scientific photography – X-ray photography is presented. The thesis describes its discovery, the use of X-rays today, and the artists who create using X-ray images. I chose the X-ray photography because I am drawn to its appearance. Contrasted, dark photographs and the motif which is (in principle) unrecognizable, unknown and invisible to the eye, and yet it is there. The last part of the paper features a chapter on abstraction linked to practical work. It is explained how to change the scientific photography into an artwork
