There is an ongoing love-affair between artists and the devices, diagrams and theories of the sciences. From Leonardo da Vinci\u2019s drawings of proto-helicopters to Olafur Eliasson\u2019s visualisation of light spectra and water vortices, the shared visual space of art and science is a rich resource. The exhibition \u201cEppur Si Muove\u201d (And Yet It Moves) at the MUDAM in Luxembourg juxtaposes historic scientific instruments from the Musee des Arts et Metiers in Paris with 130 works by artists ranging from Panamarenko to younger positions including Alicja Kwade. While the intention was to create a \u201cdialogue between the arts and sciences\u201d, the exhibition\u2019s achievement lies in highlighting how artists cannibalise other visual fields to return a language that, though rooted in other contexts, is entirely its own. If a key definition of art is that it should be \u201cpurposive without purpose\u201d, as Kant had it \u2013 in contrast to the objects of science, astronomy or other, more pragmatic fields – then this exhibition is replete with such purposiveness, underlining the double life of the machine.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The exhibition is framed around three major chapters, \u201cMeasuring the World\u201d, \u201cMatter Revealed\u201d, and \u201cInventions Applied\u201d, each filling a floor of the I.M. Pei designed museum. A sound piece by On Kawara looms large on the ground floor, with its focus on \u201cMeasuring the World\u201d, with male and female voices reciting mythical dates. Other works focus on the measurement of space: in a room with the \u201cstandard metres\u201d from the Musee des Arts et Metiers, meet their Land Art counterparts: Christoph Fink transposed his travels through Istanbul, Montreal and Jerusalem on to ceramic plates with their own cartographic systems of rivers, air journeys and roads (\u201cMouvement #85\u201d), a subjective record of distances travelled. Elsewhere in that section, Attila Cs\u00f6rg\u00f6 renders Pythagorean geometrical transitions as delicate motorised balletic forms: tetrahedral spin into cubes which transition to octahedral.<\/p>\n

A key object in the basement (\u201cMatter Revealed\u201d) is Trevor Paglen\u2019s \u201cNon-Functional Satellite\u201d, a large silver orb surrounded by computer screens spewing out data on temperature and pressure. Sited as it is in the museum, this data remains constant, and of little information value. Paglen is busy raising funds to shoot his satellite into space, where it will perform a few orbits of the earth before burning up in the atmosphere. Set against early images of the Northern Lights (\u201cAurora Borealis\u201d, 1872) and models of orreries – early models of the solar system – the effect is striking: Paglen\u2019s model points to the current use of satellites for surveillance and military purposes, while the pastel-hued romanticism of early astronomy carries traces of the sublime.<\/p>\n

The wide-ranging exhibition offers throughout a rare opportunity to experience the juxtaposition of very different mind-sets: that of the Enlightenment rationalist and the postmodern cynic, trying to reclaim subjectivity in a sea of data.<\/p>\n
