Albert Einstein said he visualized the theory of relativity before he worked out the formula. Previous explanations of the universe made no aesthetic sense to him. Humans have an underlying desire to have things be aesthetically pleasing. In that way scientists are like artists. To consider how art and science interact, we should be aware of what happens in the brain when we perceive an image. Extensive processing of visual information encompasses an estimated 260 million photoreceptors and 2 million ganglion cells, the output neurons from the retina. Why are images so important to us? We have a built-in sense for proportion, for symmetry, for what feels right. Research shows approximately 80 percent of our perception is influenced by visual sense. This technique still works extremely well today, as Boris Nikolai Konrad has confirmed. Images in our minds help us learn by heart.

“As crianças são todas originalmente hackers”, constata Pekka Himanen O intelectual finlandês Pekka Himanen (foto), autor do já clássico livro “A ética do hacker”, esteve em Buenos Aires para oferecer conferências sobre o espírito do trabalho na idade da informação. Em entrevista, falou sobre a maneira como o conteúdo de seu manifesto sobreviveu nestes últimos dez anos. Pekka Himanen parece muito jovem para ter escrito “A ética do hacker”. Nesse manifesto, publicado em 2001, o intelectual finlandês (que aos vinte anos tornou-se doutor em filosofia) tenta definir o espírito de trabalho que caracterizava o mundo dos programadores, como Linus Torvalds, o criador do sistema operativo de código aberto Linux – ou Steve Wozniak, o cofundador, junto de Steve Jobs, da Apple Computer. Em seu livro, o que fez Himanen foi contrapor o espírito hacker com a ética protestante, definida por Max Weber na obra “A ética protestante e o 'espírito' do capitalismo”. O prólogo de “A ética do hacker” foi escrito por Linus Torvalds, também finlandês. Eis a entrevista.
