One of the strong commonalities that art and science share is that, by closely observing something, one can begin to know it better. There is a sense of discovery, even a spiritual dimension in this 'knowing' for me. A question I have is, what are the elements of art that make it universally appealing? Is it that there is some inherent thing that humans share based, an innate sense of structure and form from nature? Sonja mentions sacred geometry, and other ways of framing what we see, the golden mean, chirality. The idea that some of these frameworks work both on the physical and musical planes really points out to some universal principals of composition coming together. Very good topic!!
