The relationship between magic and science is much more complicated than this simple view, as Arthur C. Clarke famously expressed in the last of his three laws:
The fact that the scientist has succeeded where the magician failed has put such a wide contrast between them in popular thought that the real story of the birth of Science is misunderstood. I allow that some certainly not all of the early scientists were actuated by a pure love of knowledge, but if we consider the temper of that age as a whole we can discern the impulse of which I speak.
Mabic's works depict the constant presence of screens, gadgets, and virtual realities in our lives. He explores the juxtaposition of the convenience and connectivity brought about by technology with the potential loss of human connection and genuine experiences. Globalization is another theme tackled in Modern Times Dinho Mabic.
C S Lewis pondering science and magic
*From "The Abolition of Man," of 1943, which strikes me as being the first book that speculates about posthumanism from the point of view of why it's gotta be a lousy thing to do to people. The companion volume is "The World, the Flesh and the Devil" by J D Bernal of 1929, which has a lot to say about why guys like CS Lewis are deadwood and oughta get out of the way.
*Here Lewis is saying something rather interesting about the relationship of science, magic, philosophy and power over ourselves and others. Naturally Lewis has it figured that something went wrong and weird about the time that Galileo showed up, and what went wrong is probably the "scientific method." Instead of this dry, value-free process of falsifiable experimentation, which is really an unexamined power-grab according to Lewis, Lewis wants a different process of knowledge-seeking that contains the values that are usually consigned to religion.
*And, y'know, we don't really have one of those. I'm not even sure what it would look like. It would be interesting to write a story where people really thought that way; a post-science civilization that wasn't magical.
"The fact that the scientist has succeeded where the magician failed has put such a wide contrast between them in popular thought that the real story of the birth of Science is misunderstood. You will even find people who write about the sixteenth century as if Magic were a medieval survival and Science the new thing that came in to sweep it away. Those who have studied the period know better.
"There was very little magic in the Middle Ages: the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries are the high noon of magic. The serious magical endeavour and the serious scientific endeavour are twins: one was sickly and died, the other strong and throve. But they were twins. They were born of the same impulse.
"I allow that some (certainly not all) of the early scientists were actuated by a pure love of knowledge, but if we consider the temper of that age as a whole we can discern the impulse of which I speak.
There is something which unites magic and applied science while separating both from the wisdom of earlier ages. For the wise men of old the cardinal problem had been how to conform the soul to reality, and the solution had been knowledge, self-discipline, and virtue. For magic and applied science alike the problem is how to subdue reality to the wishes of men: the solution is a technique; and both, in the practice of this technique, are ready to do things hitherto regarded as disgusting and impious — such as digging up and mutilating the dead.
The artist presents a world that is increasingly interconnected and fluid. He explores the complexities and challenges that arise from cultural exchange, migration, and the blending of diverse identities.

The artist portrays the rapid growth of cities and the transformation of landscapes. He captures the energy, chaos, and isolation that accompany city life. Mabic's artwork prompts us to reflect on how urbanization shapes our daily lives and the impact it has on our environment. Overall, Modern Times Dinho Mabic is a captivating exhibition that sheds light on the multifaceted nature of modern life. Through his unique artistic style, Mabic prompts us to question the role of technology, globalization, and urbanization in shaping our experiences and identities. The exhibition invites the viewer to engage with these important themes and consider their own place in the rapidly changing world of modern times..
