| Abstract | There is a connection between science and art. This study is specifically looking at the connection between soil science, art, and biochemistry. The traditional display of research in the sciences is in a written form such as a manuscript or journal article. To challenge this traditional presentation of scientific knowledge I conveyed science information to the general public in the form of displayed artwork at my exhibition "Alive and Beneath You" at Oregon State University. An anonymous survey for show attendees was filled out as an evaluation of the exhibition. The survey results indicate that the communication of science as art was a success. More than half of the viewers learned something new about soil. Further, the respondents gave significant support to the finding of alternative methods of presenting scientific information to the general public. |
