Abstract

Throughout the history developments in science and technology have been important source of inspiration for artists. Naum Gabo’s constructions in space, Bridget Riley’s opart works, Robert Smithson’s works involving the idea of entropy, Anish Kapoor’s vantablack sculptors , Kubisch’ electrical walks and Eva & Franco Mattes’ performances in which simulation and reality are intertwined can be listed as examples of such reflections. In music, with the developments in audio frequency technology, new sound sources became available for composers which ultimately led to the born of electronic music. All these developments can be evidence for transformation of fine arts through developing technology. This study examines the reflections of the scientific and technological developments in music and visual arts, and focuses on how these developments improve the expressive qualities of fine arts. In the study, some collage and assemblage applications resulted from a particle physics project are exemplified. The results of the study show that scientific developments can have positive effects on visual arts education process.
