In a world that loves the simplicity of binaries, art and science are often cast as opposites. Yet they share many key ingredients including leaps of imagination, acts of creation, and the expansion of prior knowledge to forge new frontiers. As Chief Strategy Officer for Corning Incorporated and Chairman of the Corning Museum of Glass, Jeff Evenson sits at the intersection of high-technology and art. Moreover, the material at the center of his work—glass—embodies the synergies between the two, with its remarkable combination of technical and aesthetic properties. In this talk, Jeff draws upon his experience working with both glass artists and scientists to share his perspective on the creative process and how the combination of both art and science can produce innovations that enhance our lives with new technical capabilities, while also enriching our humanity with powerful emotional connections.
