Is Science Art?



Displayed over three panels the work reprints a scientific paper in its entirety: "Interaction of stellar wind with diffuse nebulae," by S.B. Pikel'ner. If you click on the image you can actually read the whole paper. So is this art?

Is this work saying that there's really no difference between science and art? Or that art has become so technical and abstruse that it might as well be an impenetrable scientific tract?

The work consisted of three panels, painted completely white. The artist insisted that the color white represented nothing at all. Is this art?
