by Vinzenz Brinkmann (Editor)

Die alten Kulturen Ostasiens, des Nahen und Mittleren Ostens und des Mittelmeerraumes zeichnen sich durch spektakuläre wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse und Fortschritte aus, die in der Mythologie gespiegelt und gesteigert werden. In der Spätgotik nur zögerlich, in der italienischen Renaissance jedoch mit Macht dringt dieses Wissen zunächst gegen den Widerstand der christlichen Kirche in den europäischen Raum ein.

Das Begleitbuch zur Ausstellung verhandelt die aktuellste Forschung zu Wissenschaft und Technologie in Mythos und Kunst von der Antike bis in das goldene Zeitalter der arabisch-islamischen Kultur. Beleuchtet werden die frühen präzisen Aufzeichnungen astronomischer Ereignisse ebenso wie die Technologie der Automaten und kinetischen Skulptur. Neuste Erkenntnisse unter anderem zum berühmten griechischen Mechanismus von Antikythera, einem analogen Computer, oder zu den raffinierten drehbaren Decken und Böden der Bankettsäle im Palast des römischen Kaisers Nero veranschaulichen die Bedeutung der Automatisation von Skulptur in ihren Bezügen zur Naturwissenschaft im islamisch-arabischen Kulturraum.

  • Gro artige Kunstwerke, die antike Mythen wiedergeben, Modelle animierter Skulptur, eindrucksvolle wissenschaftliche Apparate und Automata des mediterranen und islamisch-arabischen Kulturraums
  • Internationale Autor/-innen spiegeln die aktuellste Forschung zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte in Verbindung mit der Kunsttechnologie
  • Ausstellung: Liebieghaus Skulpturensammlung, 08.03.2023 bis 21.01.2024
