Especially useful for those working on the boundaries of physics and the arts, this book, which I purchased in Berlin, is a stunning interdisciplinary contribution demonstrating how physics influences art and vice versa. Engaging, thoughtful and filled with captivating, breathtaking exhibition photos of art influenced by the latest developments in physics, this is a must read. It is also a special treat for fans of Karen Barad.
