The Interplay Between Art and Physics: Altering Perceptions of Reality
Jean-Pierre Hébert, KITP

Using an historical perspective, Santa Barbara artist Jean-Pierre Hébert will "show" (in both the literal and figurative senses of that word) how art and physics have influenced each other and in turn affected and even transformed human perceptions and conceptions of reality. His remarks are also meant to provide a frame for the exhibition of his work, entitled "Fields on Paper," on view at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics. Hébert is serving as KITP artist in residence.
Jean-Pierre Hébert was appointed Artist in Residence at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics at UC Santa Barbara in June 2003. His professional background in engineering and computer programming languages originally led to a consulting career, though he maintained his interests in arts and mathematics. In 1979 Hébert pioneered the creation of drawings based on original code and computer-driven devices, and in 1983 he ceased consulting to devote himself fully to art. Hébert has lived in Santa Barbara, California since 1985, and his work is known locally from exhibitions at the Design Arc, Monlleo, Faulkner and Karpeles galleries.
