Die alten Kulturen Ostasiens, des Nahen und Mittleren Ostens und des Mittelmeerraumes zeichnen sich durch spektakuläre wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse und Fortschritte aus, die in der Mythologie gespiegelt und gesteigert werden. In der Spätgotik nur zögerlich, in der italienischen Renaissance jedoch mit Macht dringt dieses Wissen zunächst gegen den Widerstand der christlichen Kirche in den europäischen Raum ein.
Das Begleitbuch zur Ausstellung verhandelt die aktuellste Forschung zu Wissenschaft und Technologie in Mythos und Kunst von der Antike bis in das goldene Zeitalter der arabisch-islamischen Kultur. Beleuchtet werden die frühen präzisen Aufzeichnungen astronomischer Ereignisse ebenso wie die Technologie der Automaten und kinetischen Skulptur. Neuste Erkenntnisse unter anderem zum berühmten griechischen Mechanismus von Antikythera, einem analogen Computer, oder zu den raffinierten drehbaren Decken und Böden der Bankettsäle im Palast des römischen Kaisers Nero veranschaulichen die Bedeutung der Automatisation von Skulptur in ihren Bezügen zur Naturwissenschaft im islamisch-arabischen Kulturraum.
The ancient cultures of East Asia, the Near and Middle East and the Mediterranean were characterised by spectacular scientific findings and advances, which are mirrored and enhanced in their mythology. Hesitantly in the late Gothic period, but more insistently during the Italian Renaissance, this knowledge gradually permeated Europe, although initially meeting with resistance from the Christian Church. The book accompanying the exhibition deals with the latest research on science and technology in myth and art from antiquity to the golden age of Arab-Islamic culture. Light is shed on the early precise records of astronomical events, as well as the technology of automata and kinetic sculpture. The latest findings relating e.g. to the famous Greek Antikythera mechanism, a form of analogue computer, or the sophisticated revolving ceilings and floors of the banquet halls in the Roman Emperor Nero’s palace illustrate the significance of sculpture’s automatisation in reference to the natural sciences in Islamic-Arabic culture.
