Multilens-Spectral 1966

Prof. Manfred P. Kage (1935-2019) was a renowned artist, science photographer, filmmaker, and inventor. Cited as one of the most important pioneers of multimedia and video art worldwide, Kage was a visionary and preeminent figure in microphotography since 1957, who also conceived and coined the terms "Science Art" and "Modern Science Art". Kage was a prominent member of the ZERO art movement, who saw a challenge in the depiction of the complexity of the wonders of nature, especially its beauty and its sensitivity, the "visualization of the invisible" as well as the photographic observation of intelligent natural design. To visually uncover the aesthetics of the tiniest micro-worlds and to bring them to the viewers of his works with innovative techniques had always been Manfred P. Kage's artistically challenging task. With "Science Art" Kage achieved an aesthetic of its own dimension and manifested with this vision his interpretation of the synthesis of science and art.
