“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.”

Spider art dating back to 4000 BC found in Egypt
New York: Scientists have discovered a one-of-its-kind spider rock art, dating back to 4,000 BC, in an Egyptian valley.Archaeologists found a broken rock panel that depicts possibly the only known example of spider rock art in the entire Old World, researchers said.
The panel, now in two pieces, on the west wall of a shallow sandstone valley, in the Kharga Oasis, is located in Egypt's western desert about 175 kilometres west of Luxor.
Researchers said the rock art may date to about 4000 BC or earlier, which would put it well into prehistoric times, before Egypt was unified, said Ikram, 'LiveScience' reported. Facing east, and illuminated by the morning sun, the panel is a "very unusual" find, said Egyptologist Salima Ikram, a professor at the American University in Cairo who co-directs the North Kharga Oasis Survey Project.

The Arts – enhancing science discovery and understanding
Art class or crafting with kids is an activity that can fill up some free time and a time to work on fine motor skills in disguise, but it can be much more.

Borrowing from Physics and Art for Improved Compression
The ability to compress information is becoming more and more invaluable as more applications require massive amounts of data. For example, some medical tests require analyzing millions of cells while they stream by, in real time and not every computer can handle it. Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles have recently developed a new compression technique which should help with that though, and it relies on anamorphism.Anamorphism is an artistic technique dating back to the sixteenth century and involves morphing images to create optical illusions. It is also used in film to fit wide images onto narrow frames. The UCLA researchers developed the anamorphic stretch transform (AST) algorithm in order to stretch and warp both analog and digital signals. By stretching the important information, it can be preserved even while a great compression ratio is achieved. That ratio can even surpass that of JPEG compression for images.
Part of the reason the researchers developed this new technique was because of prior work of theirs that led to medical testing that could produce more data than some equipment could process. With this compression, it should be possible to record and digitize analog signals that are faster than the sensor and digitizer, while reducing the bulk of data produced as well.

From KiiCS
Music and Neuroscience: Developing New Business Ideas and Products/ServicesMusic and Neuroscience is the incubation theme of the Science Communication Observatory (OCC) from Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF) in Spain. Last June, together with the Music Technology Group (also from UPF), the OCC organised the Neuro-Music Hack Day (n+MHD), a neuroscience and music competition that lasted 24h and took place within the internationally renowned Sonar Festival. The n+MHD was intended to generate products and technological apps that could eventually be developed into viable business projects at the crossroads of music and neuroscience.
The competition gathered computer programmers, neuroscientists and artists combining their competencies and working together to create apps, hardware, software, etc., connecting these two disciplines. Three projects won the competition as they presented the best creations in terms of originality, innovation and entrepreneurship:
Syncopathy (Assaf Talmudi, Jonathan Rubin and Tamar Regev), which enables small robots to play Israeli drums on the basis of neurological and physiological signals (1stprize).
Blow up (Wagner, Tobias Baur and Florian Lingenfelser), a videogame where the protagonist overcomes a screen avoiding obstacles by running and jumping. The videogame character’s movements are controlled by the respiratory flow and heart rate of the player (2nd prize).
p300 Harmonies (Zacharias Vamvakousis), an app with which users can modify the pitch and harmony of music using brain signals (3rd prize).The winner of the n+MHD will also compete for a trip and ticket to take part to the Picnic Festival in Amsterdam (September 2014)
Life Sciences: Bringing Science to the Fore through Art and Design
Waag Society, in The Netherlands, chose Life Sciences as its incubation theme. It has developed the competition DA4GA - Designers & Artists 4 Genomics Award (continuing as Bio Art & Design Award in 2014) to encourage, facilitate, organise and disseminate collaborations between arts, design and the Life Sciences. The objectives are to find new spaces, materials and situations for artistic representation and presentation, on one side, and to inspire science and contribute to the societal discussion about life sciences, on the other.
Each year, 12-16 of the most prestigious Life Sciences research institutes in The Netherlands are matched with a selection of artists/designers following an international call for artistic/design proposals involving Life Sciences. After this, the resulting interdisciplinary teams re-define together the artistic/design proposals to compete for the award. An independent jury then selects the three winning projects to be realised and presented to the public at a dedicated exhibition. The competition can lead to art works, projects, new products, etc.
In the 2012/13 edition, the winning projects were: Ergo Sum, in which donated cells by artist Charlotte Jarvis were transformed by the Netherlands Proteomics Centre into a sort of biological self-portrait; Fish Bone Chapel, for which artist Haseeb Ahmed used 3D-printing to copy and enlarge mutated skeletons of zebra fish in order to create an installation that invites to reflect on how genomics research challenges the dividing lines between life and death; and Living Mirror, an interactive bio-installation by Laura Cinti & Howard Bolandand FOM-Institute AMOLF that combines cells with electronic and photo manipulation to create real-time portrait images.
Among others, Waag Society will be following the relations between the artists/designers and the scientists, encouraging and mentoring the winning teams to make the most of their collaboration, and making the model sustainable and repeat it.
