'Holistic engineers’ add art to science
Engineering and art were not always completely separate disciplines. Take Leonardo da Vinci, who seamlessly combined the two.
Five hundred years ago, you couldn’t really tell the difference between artists and engineers
At Delaware, the work of putting engineering in a broader societal context involves an interdisciplinary collaboration on a senior design prototype. Among last year’s projects was a device humans can safely wear for chest compression simulations during cardiopulmonary training, and so replace mannequins.

Art students made the device look more lifelike. Theater students, acting as patients, helped make it function more realistically.

Art, science, technology show Fase 6.0 is open until Thursday at the CC Recoleta
Art and science have been bunking up in Buenos Aires for the last couple of months — September’s Third Kosice Biennial: Kosicean Utopias introduced the two disciplines beneath the quixotic light of the luminous vanguard before Arte y Robótica consolidated the romance a week or so ago. Centro Cultural Recoleta hosts the latest chapter of the love affair with FASE 6.0, an event peering into the future through art, science and technology.

The exhibition integrates robotics, video installations, biotechnology, and sculpture among other things under the slogan, “Technology, Policies, and Poetics.” Artistic and scientific experimentation form the backbone of the schedule presenting works by the likes of Leo Núñez, Leandro Yabkowski, and Fabiana Gallegos. The sixth edition of the five-day event also pays homage to pioneering filmmaker Narcisa Hirsch — the 76-year-old has worked extensively in Argentina, notably during the sixties and seventies, and played a vital role in the formation of experimental cinema in the country.

Building bridges between artists and scientists
Following in the otherworldly footsteps of last month’s Third Kosice Biennial: Kosicean Utopias comes Arte y Robótica, an event building bridges between artists and scientists beneath the domed splendour of Buenos Aires’ Planetario Galileo Galilei. Presented by Objecto a — an artistic space specializing in new media — the series of workshops, performances, and installations delves into new age philosophies exploring “technological” avant-garde art in light of changing, more inhospitable climates.

Traditionally, the avant-garde strived for radical social reforms but Arte y Robótica’s theme touches on the prophecies of Gyula Kosice’s 1946 work The Hydrospatial City, which envisages humankind’s search for new pastures sparked by overpopulation and drained resources. The “technological” avant-garde endeavours to secure the future of man through innovation. A selection of pioneering and problem-solving works by students from Universidad Nacional Tres de Febrero’s Maestría de Artes Tecnológicas y Esteticas and members of the Robot Group — a company developing robots for everyday use — are currently on show.
Arte y Robótica — Running until October 23. Planetario Galileo Galilei (Av. General Sarmiento & Belisario Roldán), Argentina,12pm - 5pm.

Fall Exhibitions in Paris: Robotic Art at the Cité des Sciences
Art made by robots – or robots made by artists – manages to push science and technology into the realm of emotion, as is the case with the trance-inducing Liquid Matrix 3D by Christian Partos and Shiro Takatani

A thoughtful, critical look at the ways in which artists have used computers and other logical systems to make art, Automatic Art explores the ways in which artists work with algorithms – from the simple to the incredibly complex. Under the broad tag of ‘systems art’, the artists exhibited here, much like scientists, define a set of initial conditions for their art. A palette of colours, rules that dictate how they or a computer apply them, and actions that are taken in response to the mid-stage outputs dictate what will emerge. One might think that the results of such procedural art-making might end up rather dull, repetitive or perhaps looking like an iTunes music visualisation. But despite the prescribed origins of the work displayed in Automatic Art, the work is energetic, vibrant and engaging. http://blogs.plos.org/attheinterface/2014/09/01/summer-highlights/

Winning art, on your tablet and in the gallery
An exhibition of creative apps is on view in Germany and will tour internationally

European institution where you would expect to find an exhibition honouring those working at the interface between the arts and technology it’s ZKM—Center for Art and Media in Karlsruhe, Germany. The exhibition, which will later tour internationally, presents the winners of the App Art Awards, now in its fourth year, where €10,000 prizes are given for achievements in the creation of smartphone and tablet applications in the fields of Artistic Innovation, Crowd Art, Sound Art, and Art and Science.

At a lavish awards ceremony in Karlsruhe—including interactive theatre and laptop-driven music performances—the prizes were given as the developers demonstrated their wares.

How artists are taking the help of technology to create art:

When he was young, artist Shih Chieh Huang loved taking toys apart and perusing the aisles of night markets in Taiwan for unexpected objects. Today, this TED Fellow creates madcap sculptures that seem to have a life of their own—with eyes that blink, tentacles that unfurl and parts that light up like bioluminescent sea creatures.

Are you Hot Under the Collar about Art and Technology

HOT UNDER THE COLLAR ABOUT ART, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

As part of the run up to the 50th anniversary of the Leonardo Journal
we are organizing some community discussions on topics which
‘make us hot under the collar’. There seems to be much frustration and even

vitriol in our community related to the problems we face working in and

with institutions in the growing field of art science technology practice

We hope you will be part of these discussions

ISEA2015, Vancouver, Canada
10 - 14 August, 2015
The 21st International Symposium on Electronic Art invites proposals for artworks and performances, call for papers, posters, workshops and tutorials, and panels that consider the ISEA2015 theme: Disruption.
ISEA2015’s theme of Disruption invites a conversation about the aesthetics of change, renewal, efficiencies and game-changing paradigms. We look to raw bursts of energy, Davids and Goliaths, reconciliation, error, and the destructive and creative force of the new. Disruption contains both blue sky and black smoke. When we speak of radical emergence we must also address things left behind. Disruption is both incremental and monumental. Anachronisms; earlier versions. The moments of peace and crisis: the state of things now and a moment ago; the proud Luddites and the insecurity of change; the unstoppable giants, now only shells. ISEA2015 will include a gallery exhibition as well as works that engage with other sites in Vancouver.
