I don't understand this whole dichotomy between art and science. Or why people are so insistent that they are mutually exclusive. Science is an art, taking part in this myth hurts both art and science as a whole.
I agree. And most art these days involves quite a bit of science. Photoshop's image processing algorithms aren't just sloppily thrown together, for example! It takes a lot of science to make good artistic tools, and artists often do a lot of science when creating their art. (Checking audio levels, figuring out when the light will be just right, etc.)
