TI  - The Role of Imagination and Beauty in Representation: Antibodies as Artistic Objects 
AU  - Frédéric Alix 
AB  - For a long time, the Y-shaped silhouette has been firmly established as the visual symbol of the antibody. Simple, direct, and easy to memorize, it is frequently repeated in textbooks and various brochures. It also appears at the heart of many corporate logos. However, although the scientific community is aware that this is merely an outdated cliché, what about non-specialists? This raises the question of what an image conveys within the broader framework of scientific education and public understanding. In this text, we will seek to examine the potential role of creativity in the representation of a scientific object and then illustrate the fact that this representation can be transferred into the potentially more accessible realms of aesthetics and artistic creation.
