There is a department in the NYU Engineering School that teaches engineers how to be artists. There is another department at NYU in the School of the Arts that teaches artists how to be engineers.
This week, both of those programs are having their end of semester shows. Today I saw one of them, and over the weekend I plan to see the other.
As I was taking in the various projects today, I turned to a colleague and said “There is nothing more powerful than an artist and an engineer living within the same mind.” My colleague happily agreed.
