In this talk I would like to explore, anecdotally, the way science and the arts influence each other. What are their common roots? What happens in our brain? More general: in what ways do texts relate to images? The three relationships we can identify are ekphrasis, illustration, and cross-talk. I’m mostly drawing from material accumulated in my own life as scientist, photographer and writer. But if I had, say, 20 hours instead of 20 minutes granted for my talk I would be able to paint a much less biased picture of the relationship.
