Soren Meibom, scientist turned visual artist, situates himself at the intersection of curiosity, creativity, art and science.
His work blends the techniques of visual arts with the tools of science: data, formulae, charts, and graphs. His unique combination — what he calls “SciArt” — seeks to trigger our curiosity and ignite our joy of discovery.
“The experiment I am living right now is: can you use that storytelling of science in art, to give it extra dimension, with the goal of inducing…people to explore and learn…to be more curious?” ~ Soren Meibom
Soren Meibom is an astrophysicist turned artist, newly appointed artist in residence at the Global Curiosity Institute
