I can tell you there's circlejerking among the fine arts and performing arts (I have a degree in the latter), but there isn't any gross dismissal of what it is that scientists do. If anything, there's a deep amount of respect for it. You'll find that the more well rounded STEM people studied advanced mathematics, or chemistry, but also...you know...play classical piano, and there's a lot of interesting research that bridges the creative fields with the scientific.

Actually, Iannis Xenakis' dissertation was about this precisely.

Arts-Sciences: Alloys

>In this fascinating essay Iannis Xenakis succeeds in unraveling the intricate web between the arts and sciences, thereby demonstrating their interdependency as in the components of an alloy. A complete list of works and bibliography are included. In this translation Xenakis explains not only his musical and theoretical writings - but also the role of mathematics as a philosophical catalyst in both his musical and architectural works. He discusses in detail his unique use of computers as a graphic tool in the composition of some of his scores. Unexpected aspects of his character are gracefully revealed in these highly readable exposés.

>Xenakis is responding to a panel of noted French masters from the various disciplines in w which he has worked and cleverly manages to answer specific questions in one field while simultaneously addressing perhaps less-initiated exponents from other, seemingly unrelated areas. He succeeds in unraveling the intricate web between the arts and sciences, thereby demonstrating their inter-dependency as in the components of alloys.
