Salient Differences Between Art and Science and Why They Actually Need Each Other

The explanatory title may say it all, but as I’m an art worker visiting a conference largely dominated by scientists I though some conversation was in order on the important differences between the two fields of human endeavor and perhaps even make a bold attempt to try to bridge the divide. Most scientists could care less about art, and most artists feel that science rarely if ever offers them any new points of view. The few times the two coincide, they often fail in Franksteinian monsters that satisfy none of the goals of either practice. This will be an open discussion on the differences between art and science and as the title tells all, points of interesting concordance.
