Scope Science has advanced by visualizing phenomena that are difficult to observe directly, such as the Earth's interior, dark matter, fluid motion, and crystal structures. In contrast, art has represented invisible phenomena through perception and thought. Although science and art employ different approaches, visualization and representation, both seek to understand phenomena that are not directly visible. Previous Earth Science and Art sessions introduced many examples where aesthetic expressions were used to view scientific research from a broader perspective, leading to new insights. This year, the session goes beyond the aesthetic dimension to share the two methodologies of visualization in science and representation in art. Under the theme, How do we see the invisible world?, earth scientists and artists will exchange ideas, exploring subjects that require visualization and developing new approaches for achieving it. Through this process, the session aims to visualize the essence of art thinking.
