Abstract

This article deals, in a condensed way, with the identification, the analysis and the comprehension of the relations between the work of artist Jesús Soto – pioneer of the kinetic art – and the contemporary scientific thinking, specially the physical and mathematical theories that revolutionized the study of the physical world in the first decades of 20th century. Soto’s production can be seen as a complex network of problems/solutions that interact along time and space, stimulating the formulation of new questions and the dynamic search for answers in the area of the artistic creation and within the theory of knowledge.

Keywords: Art and science, art and epistemology, Jesús Soto
