I am a scientist interested in researching ways to encourage dialogue between science and art. My starting point is that we read the environment by creating ‘patterns of thought’ through visual perception. This faculty of ‘graphicity’ is a vital process of comprehension. We become interested in shapes and colours that do not fit into the known. In this we prefer intriguing suggestions to actual representation. It seems plausible that the ability to perceive these signs and generate such pictures might have arisen in our ancestors before the origin of speech in words. If the thought-picture could be represented as an arrangement of shapes and signs, constructing an environmental model in the head is a helpful way to communicate, and coordinate what has to be done in a social group. This seems the likely origin of art, which depends on noticing that something can be made to stand for something else in order to assist comprehension and communication.
