Reflections on Art and Science

Scientists want to perceive and understand. They need proof for their perceptions. Artists want to experience and Be that which is experienced. Artist goes through the experience, while scientist make others experience that which is to be observed. Artist is her own experiment and a passive observer of the experiencing experience. Do we understand more successfully when just observing or perhaps when experiencing? Perhaps a true knowledge of nature is better understood by Artist rather than scientist, I would argue.
