The World Chess Hall of Fame introduces a solo exhibit, Beyond Humanities, by Bill Smith. The work of artist Bill Smith features a remarkable collection of sculptures and multimedia installations. Smith’s work interlaces seemingly unrelated subject matter – sculpture, biomathematics, video, physics, fractal geometry, and diesel mechanics – to create artworks that reveal how the natural world interacts around us.

The pieces in this solo exhibition illustrate how all living things have the nature to dominate their environment – much the way a chess player seeks to dominate the game.

Smith is a local artist with a national reputation and large following.

“I think of Bill as a modern-day Leonardo Da Vinci. We regard as art the notebooks that Leonardo filled with scientific thought and practical applications for creative discoveries. Bill is also always pushing his art past a simply visual medium toward real-world uses,” said Susan Barrett, director of WCHOF.

This exhibit shows truly how science can become art.

You can view the exhibit at the WCHOF until September 15, 2013.
