Scientific art is a direction in contemporary art where scientific concepts are combined with emotional artistic experience. Art and science differ in their approaches to understanding the world but have common points of intersection, such as changes caused by technological progress. Science presents purely logical information, cleansed of emotions, obtained with the help of measuring instruments. Art, on the other hand, processes subjective emotional information. The synthesis of these two approaches creates a creative act that assembles new artistic images.

The distinctive feature of this direction is considered the use of high technologies and scientific discoveries for a deeper study of the surrounding world and the creation of works of art. Artists incorporate scientific knowledge into their creative process and find new visual forms. They often work with discoveries in the field of modern biology, physics, and chemistry, as well as utilize the progress of artificial intelligence. The laboratory serves as an artistic workshop, complicating the development of the direction. The development of scientific art is conditioned by information globalization.

The Belarusian duo Domnich and Gelfand (Evelina Domnich and Dmitry Gelfand) work in the field of science art. Using knowledge of chemistry, physics, and philosophy, they create a special environment for the sensory and immersive perception of their fantastic works. Radiation and other physicochemical properties of matter are used as artistic means in their works. The unique installations and performances of the duo demonstrate processes that are inaccessible under ordinary conditions. In 2012, the artists opened their own laboratory, Synergetica, in Amsterdam. They have experience participating in international exhibitions of contemporary art and collaborating with prestigious scientific research laboratories such as the Institute of Vibrational Physics at the University of Göttingen (Germany), the Institute of Advanced Sciences and Technologies (Japan), the Faculty of Physics and Astronomy at the Free University of Amsterdam (Netherlands), and others.
