"Early experimental science had intimate connections with the studios and workshops of the Renaissance, although artist then aspired to qual status with the princes and prelates whose tastes they shaped. Today it is again apparent that the artist is an artisan, that he belongs to a distinct human grouping as homo faber, whose calling is to evoke a perpetual renewal of form in matter, and that scientist and artists are more like one another as artisan that they are like anyone else. For our purpose of discussing the nature of happening in the world of things, the difference between science and art are irreducible, quite as much so as the differences between reason and feeling, between necessity and freedom. Although a common gradient connects use and beauty, the two a irreducibly different: no tool can be fully explained as a work of art, nor vice versa. A tool is always intrinsically simple, however elaborate its mechanisms may be, but a work of art, which is complex of many stages and levels of crisscrossed intentions, is always intrinsically complicated, however simple its effect may seem."
