Crossing Over: Art and Science at Caltech, 1920–2020

🖼️ Claudia Bohn-Spector and Peter Sachs Collopy, Crossing Over: Art and Science at Caltech, 1920–2020, Caltech, September 27, 2024

Crossing Over is an expansive public exhibition that weaves together the history of science with historical and contemporary art. How, it asks, have scientists and engineers used images and collaborated with artists to discover, invent, and communicate? How have artists been inspired by Caltech science? Spread across six sites at Caltech, the exhibition features displays of about 250 objects, most drawn from the Caltech Archives and Special Collections, including rare books, paintings, drawings, photographs, scientific instruments, molecular models, and video.
