His perspective was strongly influenced by family members who had worked as mathematicians, scientists, and engineers for generations. Also, for 31 years until his death in 1950, Korzybski was married to artist Mira Edgerly, a painter of portraits on ivory. Clearly he benefited from being immersed in both art and science as he developed a field called general semantics as an independent scholar. </p><p class="p4" style="font-size: 13px;"><span class="s1">The real world must be filtered through the human brain's responses to reality, and </span>thus it acquires a human interpretation. Today, there is a growing interest in the <span class="s1">convergence of art and science. An ever widening range of artistic and scientific </span>techniques are used in our attempts to map this territory. Collaborations between artists and scientists apply the strengths of both approaches to the real world and its interpretation. </p><p class="p4"><span style="font-size: 13px;" class=""><img apple-inline="yes" id="680EDB86-A99D-43F3-8B81-C82D4C6F96DD" height="314" width="550" apple-width="yes" apple-height="yes" src="cid:5da9069b7e81fb93a42e6e0fd696e5b8" class=""></span><br class=""><font size="1" class=""><i class="">Nonlinear Map (detail)<br class=""></i><i class="">Ron Wild 2015</i></font></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1"><b class="">The map ...<br class=""></b></span>Ron Wild is widely known for his digital ‘smART Map’ montages.

His artistic and scientific interests are the shapes that emerge spontaneously from dynamic processes of growing, folding, cracking, wrinkling, branching, flowing and other kinds of morphological evolution. His images are taken both from Nature and from controlled laboratory experiments. His artistic eye is informed by the mathematical aesthetic of nonlinear physics.</p><p class="p2"><img apple-inline="yes" id="0B661A7A-B59A-42C4-AD83-C4C616492638" height="124" width="550" apple-width="yes" apple-height="yes" src="cid:df285de257928ef06de85b5fff7d0a99" class=""></p><div class=""><br class=""></div></font></body></html>
