“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.”

Ambient Plagues Unleashed
Ambient Plagues have been unleashed upon my fair city of Toronto by Elaine Whittaker at the Redhead Gallery.The show opened September 4th, 2013.
Whittaker is a sculptor, encaustic painter and mixed media installation artist in Toronto, and one of the preeminent sciartists in the fine art scene.
Through sculpture, photography, microscopy, and live bacteria, the artworks blur the boundaries between what is real and what is manufactured, what is animate and what is inanimate. Ultimately, they challenge viewers’ perceptions about their bodies, a site that has become trespassed, tainted, and contaminated by a popular culture that escalates social anxiety and terror of microbes, by artificially creating a sense of bioparanoia.

Art and science joined in Fort Worden project
A new public art project and interactive nature trail winds its way through Fort Worden State Park this month.Blazed by a team of artists and soil scientists — collaborators for more than a year — “The Soil Remembers” takes an up-close look at the history and geology of the area from the perspective of soil and the microbes living within it.
Contributors were public artist Deanna Pindell, Kansas-based soils scientist and artist Rhonda Janke, local painter Dawn Sagar and soils scientist John Fleming.
The team began its work by taking soil samples from a variety of different ecosystems.
A website at www.soilremembers.com rounds out the project, featuring educational information on soils and the geology of the fort, instructions on making art paints from soil and advice on working with microbes in your own soil to make delicately imprinted cloths.“The Soil Remembers” was funded in full by the artists as a gift to the community.
It began two years ago under the Site-Specific Art program at Goddard College and was installed on the fort grounds for three weeks in 2012. This year's installation is independent of the college.
For more information, email Deanna Pindell at deannapindell@earthlink.net.

Full Report: British Science Festival draws to a close
This year's British Science Festival is drawing to a close on Tyneside, but the all important research goes on.An ambitious project is taking place at the Baltic 39 art gallery in Newcastle.
One of the things that makes human beings unique is our ability to appreciate art and scientists are trying to work out why this is by examining the human brain.
Watch the video based on how art is seen and perceived by brains here:

The science and art festival that brings these together for everyone to enjoy, showing how science is fun and relevant to our everyday lives. From 6 pm onwards, a number of young scientists, researchers and artists will be welcoming the public to a festive evening that will include music, demonstrations, debates, scientific cafes, hands-on experiments, street art, exhibitions, films, children's shows and many interactive activities.The full programme was presented today to the news media and festival contributors by the consortium led by the University of Malta Research Trust (RIDT) and the Malta Chamber of Scientists.
The activities will be held at selected locations and venues in Valletta, running from the Upper Barrakka, Castille and St James Cavalier, down both Republic Street and Merchant Street to St George's Square and the Old Market Square, respectively.
"Science in the City aims to create curiosity towards science, innovation and new technology," said Professor Alex Felice, the Project Coordinator. "We would like to show the public that there is a fair amount of high quality research happening in Malta. We have very valid research projects going on at our University. Science in the City is bringing the researchers closer to the public and highlighting how Maltese society is benefiting from the results of their research and scientific work."

Gold for chicken art project with our health in mind
What do you get if you cross a Belgian chicken and a French chicken? A work of art, according to conceptual artist Koen Vanmechelen. The judges of this year's Prix Ars Electronica at the Ars Electronica Festival in Linz, Austria, obviously agree.Last weekend, the Belgian artist received a much-coveted Golden Nica award for his long-running Cosmopolitan Chicken Project. At its heart is an ambitious breeding programme that aims to distil the genetic diversity of the world's chicken breeds into a single "cosmopolitan" animal.
Every time his chicken-related artwork goes on show in a museum or cultural space, it raises a big debate about globalisation, multiculturalism, art and science, says Vanmechelen. "The whole project stands for bio- and cultural diversity."
Vanmechelen conceived the project in the late 1990s. Since then, his chickens have inspired an extraordinary diversity of artistic outputs including paintings, photographs, videos, sculptures, installations, lectures and taxidermy. But for Venmechelen, the real works of art are the novel breeds of chicken that he has created on a 10-acre site near Meeuwen on the border of Belgium and France.

Details released for 2013 symposium at Berlin University of the Arts
A symposium entitled “Perception, Experience, Experiment, Knowledge” is to take place from 10 to 12 October 2013, at the Graduate School for the Arts and Sciences of the Berlin University of the Arts.The show seeks to question the different forms of interaction between art and science, particularly the concepts of objectivity and subjectivity. These ideas are central to the research of nearly all artists working together with graduates on projects, as well as a key part of the international and interdisciplinary programs offered by the Graduate School for the Arts and Sciences at the Berlin University of the Arts.
While the term “objective” is easily attributable to the sciences, the arts are labelled as “subjective”. Along the line between the two can be found definitions of artistic and scientific practices. Being that the aim of the Graduate School is to facilitate a dialogue between the arts, the sciences and the humanities, the symposium brings together specialists in all of these fields.
The Graduate School is proposing a program based on intellectual exchange between these different disciplines. The introduction of the symposium is to focus on these notions of objectivity and subjectivity, and is to be followed by five panels on the themes of: Perception (I), Experiment (II), Research (III), Revisions (IV), and Reversions (V), as well as three readings addressing the role of knowledge within artistic practices. Projects by fifteen researchers are also to be exhibited, along with samples, archive material, concerts and documents.
The speakers who are to present include: Michael Annoff, Alberto de Campo, Alice Creischer, Thomas Düllo, Anke Eckardt, Eric Ellingsen, Peter L. Galison, Renée Green, Jens Hauser, Stefan Hayn, Anke Hennig, Ulrike Hentschel, Paula Hildebrandt, Echo Ho, Birgit Hopfener, Stefan Hölscher, Anthony Iles, Valentina Karga, Rotraud Kern, Eva Könnemann, Juliane Laitzsch, Genoël Lilienstern,Yutaka Makino, Tanja Ostojic, Hendrik Quast, Judith Raum, Bert Rebhandl, Martin Rennert, Gerhard Schultz, Klaus Spiess, Susanne Stemmler, Lucie Strecker, Lioudmila Voropai, Emma Wolukau–Wanambwa, Lukas Wegwerth, and Dan Zahavi
