Boccioni's ballistics
Article Abstract:
Umberto Boccioni was a futurist who developed pictorial reforms from the Cubist movement, influenced by science and technology. He was the most versatile and creative of this group of artists, and was the author of the 1910 'Technical Manifesto' of the group. He was able to carry out an intuitive translation of developments in the new sciences. He aimed to express relativities in his works, and sought an interpretation of light, space and form as energies that interpenetrate, instead of as physical entities with a separate existence.

Parker's pieces
Article Abstract:
Cornelia Parker's photographs do not rely on fixed meaning. She seeks to realize the metaphorical poetry contained in science's rational analyses, rather than to illustrate a scientific concept. Her 'Cold Dark Matter: An Exploded View' revolves around themes of gathering and dispersal, expansion and contraction, transformation and stasis, making and breaking and other contrasts. It exemplifies the very wide reach of her associative creations.
