Dr. Falco was the keynote speaker at the North Dakota Museum of Art on the University of North Dakota campus for a symposium called “The Science of Art.”

Weshler.mp3 We are accustomed to separating art from science. But a symposium at the North Dakota Museum of Art next Tuesday promises to bring those two worlds together. “The Science of Art” is a one-day symposium, open to the public, featuring the work of twin brothers and artists Ryan and Trevor Oakes whose work is on display now at the museum on the UND campus.

Lawrence Weschler is  the director of the New York Institute for the Humanities at NYU and a former staff writer for The New Yorker. He will talk Tuesday about his newest book, “Uncanny Valley: Adventures in Narrative,” which features two essays on the Oakes Twins.
