“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.”

GROW YOUR OWN... is a new exhibition created by Science Gallery at Trinity College Dublin that invites you to consider some of the potentially ground-breaking applications and uncertain implications of synthetic life. Tackling the provocative questions that designing life raises, GROW YOUR OWN... gives you the opportunity to help shape future discussions around synthetic biology - an emerging approach to genetic engineering, bringing together engineers, scientists, designers, artists and biohackers to design 'living machines'. The exhibition is curated by artist and designer Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg, Anthony Dunne (Royal College of Art), Paul Freemont (Imperial College), Cathal Garvey (bio-hacker) and Michael John Gorman (Science Gallery). Featuring THE MECHANISM OF LIFE - AFTER STÉPHANE LEDUC by Oron Catts, Ionat Zurr & Corrie van Sice.

My Brain Is in My Inkstand: Drawing as Thinking and Process November 16, 2013, through March 30, 2014 Cranbrook Art Museum Bloomfield Hills Michigan USA

This Exhibition brings together twenty-two artists and makers from regions as widespread as the United States, the Caribbean, Europe, Australia, and South Africa to redefine the notion of drawing as thinking process in the arts and the sciences alike. Exploring the contemporaneity of drawing in visual art and design practices beyond the traditional interaction of pencil and paper, the exhibition connects aesthetic fields as varied as philosophy and mathematics, diagrammatic reasoning and rock carvings, performance and basketball, social networking and music, microorganisms and furniture design, eco-art and skateboarding. Featuring The Mechanism of Life After Stephane Leduc (Oron Catts, Ionat Zurr, Corrie Van Sice) and new works in progress by Benjamin Forster: 1. Towards taxonomy 2. a) Tracing (Aspect A : Surveillance) b) Tracing (Aspect B : Wifi) c) Tracing (Aspect C : Cab Charges).

Sensory Trap is an artistic exploration of the subjective colour perception of the human and the European honeybee. This is done through attempts to communicate with honeybee workers using objects painted in ultraviolet, a colour that is imperceptible to the human eye. The approach to art making in this project takes on the performance of trapping, highlighting the perceptual traps that humans, and non-humans alike, fall into when communicating across species boundaries. The works are comprised of photographs, sketches and ultraviolet painted traps, which document the performance that took place in the bee yard. Overall this body of work forms a symbolic gesture that calls attention to the invisible worlds of non-human animals, leaving the human audience with a sense of limitation and inadequacy. The intention is to provoke thinking about the way in which we communicate with other species that we so heavily depend upon. This project has been facilitated by SymbioticA, the Centre for Excellence in Biological Arts, and CIBER, the Centre for Integrative Bee Research, at the University of Western Australia.

Rethinking life through art
Theatrette Room
State Library of Victoria
14 Nov 2013 time: 6:00pm
Speaker: Oron Catts

The cultural understandings of what life is and what we are doing in it are lagging behind the actualities of scientific and engineering processes. Our uncertainties about what 'life' is exacerbates the crisis in both humanities and sciences and we now face an urgent need to scrutinise and rethink both the crisis of sustainability and our treatment of the (nonhuman) other. This lecture will discuss how artists are helping us to rethink what life is and methods employed to deal with life as both a raw material and an ever contestable subject of manipulation. Looking at all levels of life from the molecular to the ecological, Oron Catts will address the need to develop a new cultural language when words seem to be no longer appropriate. http://bit.ly/HxqZ0R

geology, painting, and language
the installation series “Sediments,” which engages with geologic phenomenon like slumps, used painted canvases as the base for her sculptures. Painted different colors, canvases were stacked on top of each other and allowed to shift and slump by natural inclination. A slump occurs when a sedimented, or consolidated, mass of earth shifts and slides down a slope.

Other sculptures, such as “Sediments 1” and “Biochemical Composition,” use stacked or arranged canvases to explore the nature of sedimentation and composition of the natural world. In these compositions, Zopp explores the “hidden landscapes and unseen tectonic forces that affect our lives.

UCSB ‘Hybrid’ Researchers Working at Intersection of Art and Science
Call them hybrids. Equal parts scientist, engineer and artist, they're using mathematics as a bridge between traditionally divergent disciplines, advancing all three by breaking new ground.

Meet UC Santa Barbara's Deutsch Foundation Fellows, a five-student and one-postdoc crop of just such new-school academics. They are pursing advanced degrees and research in the Media Arts and Technology (MAT) graduate program, which was created to foster exactly the type of innovation for which the fellows are increasingly known. Blurring the lines between creative and scientific approaches, they are testing their theories — and paving the way toward new technologies — in UCSB's one-of-a-kind, immersive 3-D lab, the AlloSphere.

Worcester minds sought for arts-sciences incubator
100 local people drawn from diverse areas in the arts and sciences will participate in a pioneering program seeking to show that art and science can combine to form new paths to creativity and innovation.

Worcester is one of three cities — with Chicago and San Diego — to share equally in a $2.6 million National Science Foundation "Art of Science Learning" grant, the largest of its kind ever given.

The Art of Science Learning project will implement and test a new curriculum of arts- and science-based problem-solving, apply it to a significant civic challenge and measure the impact of arts-based learning on innovation.
