With advances in technology barriers were created that separated the practitioners in thesciences from those in the arts.Beginning in the 1960s, several notable scientists formalized their instincts about connection ofand similarity between art and science by creating publications and establishing museums topromote works of art with strong scientific themes and content. As a result of their pioneeringwork the perception that art and science are dissimilar and not connected fields was at leastpartially dismissed. For example, Frank Malina (1912-1981), a distinguished aerospace scientist,founded Leonardo Journal10 in 1968, which became the archival and leading publication forartworks created at the interface of science and art by artists
