“Study the science of art and the art of science.” - Leonardo Da Vinci
Leonardo Da Vinci: "Study the science of art. Study the art of science. Develop your senses and especially, learn how to see. Realize that everything connects to everything else" and "only through experimentation can we know anything."
Science is the king of art subjects. It is the art of inventions, discoveries, innovations and gaining more knowledge.
"Science is the new art".
Science-art: selling art to scientists and science to artists.
Education is all about learning all those you want to learn and applying wherever possible.
Albert Einstein’s quote — “the greatest scientists are artists as well”.
Science has always relied on visual representation to convey key concepts.
‘If you can’t explain something simply, you don’t understand it.’ - Albert Einstein
Math is undeniably artistic
An interdisciplinary researcher must face the challenge of being proficient in two (or multiple) different research areas! Not only must s/he be familiar with key principles and methodology in each area, but also understand baseless "biases" and "dogmas" that are a result of inbreeding, and struggle to fight these, as new knowledge emerges from her/his research. An unenviable task indeed! The pointlessness of evaluating such researchers work with conventional metrics should be aptly emphasized.
“The best scientists, engineers and mathematicians are incredibly creative in their approaches to problem-solving and application development”.
"Science, like art, is not a copy of nature but a re-creation of her." – Jacob Bronowski
In scientia veritas, in arte honestas — in science truth, in art honor
E.W. Sinnot, the American biologist and philosopher: "Stored images in the mind are the basis for new creative ideas."
Science based art and literature : communicating complexity through simplicity - Krishna
All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. All these aspirations are directed toward ennobling man's life, lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence and leading the individual towards freedom.
--Physicist and Violinist Albert Einstein
Music gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything by Anonymous
Every science begins as philosophy and ends as art - Will Durant
Life itself is a beautiful interaction between art and science. You can't escape it! - Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa
"The Science of Art is like putting a microphone to the whispers of creativity that echo through the halls of every research laboratory fused with the late night musings of the artists in their studios" - Sachi DeCou
“Every Science begins as Philosophy and ends as Art, it arises in hypothesis and flows into achievement”- Will Durant, The Story of Philosophy
Scientists can be artists as well, while they submit their academic papers, and theses they often draw their own illustrations!
Is suffering really necessary? Yes and no. If you had not suffered as you have, there would be no depth to you, no humility, no compassion.
-Eckhart Tolle
Science has enabled the kind of art we’ve never before seen.
Without the arts, science is hobbled. Without science, art is static.
John Maeda wrote of Leonardo da Vinci’s observations that art is the queen of science.
“Science is as much cultural as art is cultural,”
Art is science made clear (what!).
"The aim of art is not to represent the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance." - Aristotle.
Science is a search for answers, based on logic, rationality and verification. Its workplace is the laboratory.
In contrast, art is a search for questions, based on intuition, feeling and speculation. Its workplace is the studio.
DaVinci himself said, "Art is the queen of all sciences communicating knowledge to all the generations of the world. "
"Art is the heart's explosion on the world. Music. Dance. Poetry. Art on canvas, on walls, on our skins. There is probably no more powerful force for change in this uncertain and crisis-ridden world than young people and their art. It is the consciousness of the world breaking away from the strangle grip of an archaic social order." - Luis J. Rodriguez.
For Dawkins, understanding the science behind natural phenomena (and sometimes being reminded of how much more we have yet to learn or discover) can still make our encounters with them sublime. From this point of view, science is the champion of artistic creativity, not its enemy.
"Scientists and artists are both trying to get a better understanding of the world around us, but they are doing it through different lenses,"
It takes many skills to achieve truly remarkable things. A diverse view to solving problems is best.
You need a deep understanding of science to actually manipulate concepts in novel ways and get creative in science - Krishna
"If you hear a voice within you saying, 'You are not a painter,' then by all means paint ... and that voice will be silenced, but only by working."
-- Vincent van Gogh, in a letter to his brother Theo, 28 October 1883.
"The line between art and science is a thin one, and it waves back and forth”
"One of the most common misconceptions about science is that it isn't creative — that it is inflexible, prescribed or boring. Actually, creativity is a crucial part of how we do science"!
"All knowledge has its origins in perception." Da Vinci.
“The scientist does not study nature because it is useful to do so. He studies it because he takes pleasure in it; and he takes pleasure in it because it is beautiful." Jules Henri Poincare
The beauty of art lies in the inimitable creativity of the artist and in the interpretation of the beholder.
"Artists see things one way and scientists another and the really interesting thing is in what's in between."
Einstein’s support of artistic endeavors is both well-known and well-documented.
“The greatest scientists are artists as well,” he once said.
Atul Dodiya (Indian Artist) : Life is beautiful as a painter. Changing colour, observing life and paying attention to every detail that we’re exposed to, and then giving our own vision to it… Nothing gives me more joy.
Art : You accomplish a task that is called art as there is no specific postulates or guidelines.
Science : You do the work with a set of guidelines.
"Change and risk-taking are normal aspects of the creative process. They are the lubricants that keep the wheels in motion. A creative act is not necessarily something that has never been done; it is something you have never done."
-- Nita Leland in The Creative Artis
Pablo Picasso once said, "Good artists copy, great artists steal." All creative artists build upon the work established by the masters before them. ( Not me!- Krishna)
Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep – Scott Adams
‘Art makes science come alive for students’
Albert Einstein - “The greatest scientists are artists as well”.
“ Science art shows some of the incredible natural beauty that researchers in life sciences see every day in their work.”

Land Art Is Helping Physicists Study The Universe
To protect a new particle accelerator from vibrations from nearby streets, Snøhetta came up with an unusual solution: earthworks.
A synchrotron is an incredibly important tool in the scientist's arsenal. It's a special type of particle accelerator that blasts electrons through a series of chambers to make them travel close to light speed, producing ultra-bright light beams that allow researchers to analyze materials at the molecular level.They play a critical part in unlocking how the universe works—and they require the utmost precision. Even the slightest interruptions, such as vibrations from cars or trains, could destroy the entire process. So when Lund University, in southern Sweden, decided to build a new synchrotron, it enlisted Snøhetta to design a buffer to protect it using the landscape itself to create a natural sound dampener.

The Designer Who Peered Into Microscopes and Saw High Art
CARL STRÜWE
Two kinds of photographs. The first was typical enough: Italian sculpture and architecture he saw on vacation. The second was far less typical: close-ups of diatoms, butterfly wings, snail tongue, whalebone—all taken through a microscope.By simply zooming in, Strüwe took the familiar and made it alien. The German photographer wasn’t the first to place the lens of a camera into the eyepiece of a microscope, but in the 1920s, he was among the first to do so as art rather than science.
Carl Strüwe: Microcosmos will be on show from April 15 – June 4 at the Steven Kasher Gallery in New York.

Bacteria-Grown Book Combines Science and Culture
The world’s first book grown entirely from bacteria has finally hatched from the sterile depths of scientist/artist Dr. Simon Park's laboratory in Guildford, Surrey, UK. Much like Natsai Audrey Chieza does with bacteria-dyed scarves, Dr. Park uses his background in molecular biology and microbiology to explore the intersection between science and cultural creation.Park has accumulated the largest collection of pigmented bacteria ever recorded, according to Wired. His 'C-Mould' archive has 50 different kinds of microorganisms, each with their own color and idiosyncrasies, a sort of bacterial painter’s palette, if you will.
The book you see above was grown and designed entirely from bacteria. BacterioFabrication: a grown book is made out of biological specimen called ‘Gluconoacetobacter xylinus,’ which naturally produces films of bacterial cellulose, an organic compound with the same microbial structural frame as the plant based material found in cotton and paper. ‘Gxcell’ swiftly forms thick mats of this natural polysaccharide laying the fabric of the book’s pages.
The book was printed out and written on using naturally pigmented bacteria that we can assume is from Simon Park’s vault of vibrant bacteria. He titled the book after Darwin’s On The Origin of Species, and even illustrated what looks like a rendition of a microscopic bacterial portrait.
The book, some of Park's other artwork, and that of other artists is part of the Bio and Beyond exhibition (25 March – 13 May 2016) at Summerhall, part of the Edinburgh International Science Festival.

Scientists on stage
When you put an actor in the role of a scientist, you often end up with a bespectacled, jargon-filled eccentric in a lab coat. But what happens when you put a scientist in the role of an actor? That’s the experiment brewing at an improvisational theatre troupe in Lausanne.
Adria LeBoeuf, The Catalyst’s founder and executive director, describes her creation as a “science-entertainment collective”.
“We may think scientists are very ordered with everything in little boxes, but science is a creative enterprise, and we don't get so many moments in our scientific life to express a more playful creativity,” says LeBoeuf.
The Catalyst’s 40-odd participants hail from different countries and backgrounds in science, art and communications. They meet weekly for improv sessions and workshops, and have also recently launched a monthly English language show called CatCave9 at the Cinema Oblo in Lausanne.

Art Out Of Climate Data
This past September, the artist and environmental scientist Jill Pelto noticed that a chart of shrinking glaciers actually mimicked the subject matter. A longtime painter, she decided to turn the jagged, sloping line of glacial melt into a painting of one such glacier sinking into the sea. Now she's started a series of what she calls"Geoglacial Artworks"—serene, painterly nature scenes subtly encoded with climate data.
A recent graduate of the University of Maine, where she earned a dual degree in studio art and Earth science, Pelto has always been interested studying the natural world. At 16, she began joining her dad—a professor and glaciologist—on trips to North Cascades National Park in Washington to track data on the size of the glaciers in the park.

`DNA origami` paves way for faster, cheaper computer chips
A team of scientists has opened a door to faster, cheaper computer chips with the help of ‘DNA origami.’The Brigham Young University researchers reported that DNA, the genetic material of life, might help accomplish this goal when it is formed into specific shapes through a process reminiscent of the ancient art of paper folding.
The study is presented at American Chemical Society 251st National Meeting & Exposition.
Using DNA’s very small size, base-pairing capabilities and ability to self-assemble, and direct it to make nanoscale structures that could be used for electronics, the technique has been identified. the smallest features on chips currently produced by electronics manufacturers are 14 nanometers wide. That’s more than 10 times larger than the diameter of single-stranded DNA, meaning that this genetic material could form the basis for smaller-scale chips.
Using the DNA as a scaffold and then assembling other materials on the DNA to form electronics is the technique. followed by the researchers.
Nature works on a large scale, and it is really good at assembling things reliably and efficiently. If that could be applied in making circuits for computers, there’s potential for huge cost savings.

nspired by Islam’s artistic emphasis on intricate and complex tessellations and repetition, researchers in McGill University’s Pasini Grouphave created stretchable materials that could be used for expandable stents (for surgery) or even spacecraft components.
This design process for this new metamaterial, known as bistable auxetics, has its origins in two 1,000-year-old tomb towers located in Iran.

Artists have created glow-in-the-dark artworks from a living organism as part of the World Science Festival in Brisbane, Australia.
Instead of paint or pencils, the artists are drawing with a type of marine bacteria known as Aliivibrio fischeri, which is usually found in the light organ of the Hawaiian bobtail squid. But put it on a brush, apply it to a petri dish canvas and then turn off the lights, and you can make some sweet science art.
