This research work explores the relationship of Art and Science from the concept of Uncertainty. Uncertainty is the source of inspiration that drove the author to embark on a journey of discovery within two rather unknown fields to him, Glass and Electricity. The analogy made in this thesis between Glass and Electricity and Art and Science is a personal search for understanding the nature of the world, a dive into both the certainty of rational experimentation in the Scientific method, and the innate uncertain nature of experimentation in Art-making. This work is in essence a mirror that reflects the nature of the author’s mind, making visible some interesting ideas, impossible dreams, failed attempts and small discoveries. But above all, it’s a story of personal resilience, the search for a meaningful ‘ground’ and the ‘connection’ between Art and Science. In terms of practical goal, this study begins with fundamental considerations about how to achieve a new working method for Glass Printing formed from raw materials using controlled electric discharges.
