3. science art interactions in Asia with particular reference to India

Appendix

Abstract: While North America, Europe and Australia are basking in the glory of new wave science-art collaborations and reaping all the benefits that these interactions are bringing, there are some parts of the world that are relatively untouched by these happenings! Asia, to which the Indian subcontinent belongs, remains almost immune to the developments happening around the world in this subject. With the exception of China, we hardly find any science-art projects here. Moreover, the few science-art interactions that are occurring are concentrated in China, India, Singapore, Indonesia, UAE, Iraq, Israel, South Korea, and Japan. Interestingly these areas with healthy scientific backgrounds are relatively high on the economic scales too in Asia. If we search for science-art interactions in this region, we mostly come up with science and technology assisted art rather than pure science art. This paper discusses the reasons for the dismal performance of science art and science based art in relation to the dynamics of the art world mechanisms in this region and suggests ways to remove the road blocks to make science based art flourish here.

Acknowledgements: I sincerely thank my friends across Asia from both the fields of art and science who preferred to remain behind the curtains despite helping me in collecting data and analyzing it. My heart felt gratitude also goes out to all the members of Art Lab network whose unrelenting support made this paper come into existence.

I could not agree more with the above facts as an international and Canadian fine artist originated from the middle East. I have always, seen that art is so much related to science as well to math. One cannot go without the other consciously or subconsciously, artist do it without realizing. Now is the time to realize and acknowledge it. Realization will not stop there but would motivate us to have further research and more knowledge.

I have been waiting to read this paper ever since I read the abstract. After reading this
I realize now why there isn’t information on the subject till this paper is written. This paper consists of several elements – art, science, science-art, philosophy, journalism, geography, socio-ecomics, art market, poetry, logic, culture of the region, politics, funding mechanisms, networking, to name a few. One should have a good grasp of all these elements and full picture to write such papers. Not everybody can write this paper. The author has done full justice to the topic.
May I ask her a few questions?
After taking so much pain to bring all these aspects and the road blocks before the science-art community, does she think there will be a change for the better now? Will the suggestions be followed by anybody?
Does she think the interantional science-art community will help Asia in promoting science-art interactions here?
Does she think the purpose of writing the paper will really be understood by the people in the region and they will try to change the situation?
Who said those inspirational words in the quotes?
Hope she gives a reply to me

Dr. Krishna …i’m reading from time to time all out yours endeavors for the entire New research for creativity in the field of Science-Art.So far i saw your art work on several sites closely correlating..the feelings of natural laws rather even connected with pure science & applied science. i opined that science based art ..has given the magnificent impetus to the present Art scenario.ONLY need to get recognition …!!
So far as to the best of knowledge & on-line study …no one from Asia rather India has attempted the way you generate the Science-Art..concept !! Definitely,one day art lovers realize and associate to strengthen your research project from many ways in meritorious way to remember you as pioneer by Art community & new generation.
My best wishes ..Always feel to share & associate with u the concept of ” Eco Friendly Organic Art ” made from thrown out ingredients of our mother earth on Bark Canvas of Palm tree.
