    Vibeke Sorensen (©1995) critiques the institutional and historical split between art and science in higher education and argues that the distinction is artificial and increasingly anachronistic; she surveys precedents from Leonardo da Vinci through photography, Impressionism, Cubism and film to contemporary computer graphics, ray tracing, virtual reality, cyberspace, networking and scientific visualization. Sorensen cites Leonard Shlain (Art and Physics, 1991) and Carver Mead (Caltech), notes the journal Leonardo and universities, and calls for multi-layered interdisciplinary education and lifelong self-education.
