Lec 10: seeing the unseen - scientific imagery + objectivity goes under the knife. Paul klee: art does not reproduce the visible, it renders the visible . The idea of reproduction and rendering relates to the contradictions between the subjective and objective, the imagination and imaging, documenting and projecting, etc. Things we usually consider to be contrasted. Meaning: artists manifest the spiritual or forces that are not necessarily visible to the naked eye. Avant garde and scientific discourse happening during the 20th century, ideas inspiring futurist architects and artists that there is something else out there.
