Finally, Saturday 17 and Sunday, April 18 Technotown opens its doors to young artists for the exhibition analogy. The exhibition comes from the idea of combining art and science in order to demonstrate that both have a common denominator. Analogy, symmetry in greek, contains a double meaning: one artistic, from which the sense of perfection, harmony, balance and a scientific-mathematical, understood as geometrical proportion.
