“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.”

Science and creativity:
Several weeks ago we gave you a challenge: using a dozen bird songs recorded by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, we asked you to create an original musical composition on the theme of Spring. We received more than 100 compositions, ranging from classical to electronica to jazz, even radio drama. (Listen to them all below.) This week, Greg Budney, curator of audio at the Lab, and Kurt Andersen announce their favorites. The winning entry, Marlo Reynolds’ “Certhia Americana,” took the Brown Creeper as its base, mixing the bird’s call with a poem written and performed by Reynolds’ collaborator Gump. Budney says it captured his own field recording experiences “spot on.”

The song of the brown creeper enters
Zigzagging upward it gleans insects –
Once learned, the high, insistent call is hard to forget –
In mature woods and large old trees –
Often heard –
But hard to see –
Under the sun

Reynolds often records bird songs and uses them in his work, including these sounds from China that you can download and use in your own work.

Thanks to all the creative participants in the Remixing Spring Challenge.

Founded in 1988 by Madeleine Barchevska, BioArt Theatre Laboratories, Inc., and its health-through-communication products, were built on research that incorporates both science and art. Initially created for purposes of enhancing stage performance, we later broadened our scope to train and develop business leaders, legal, medical and IT professionals, classroom teachers, as well as experienced actors in on-going ”stretching” for the stage.

Ipoh woman engineers new form of dances
PETALING JAYA: The worlds of arts and science are often poles apart but Ipoh-born engineer-turned-dancer Audrey Kwan seems to have found a way to enjoy both.

The 27-year-old is putting her engineering skills to good use, creating dance performances and workouts that express science.

After quitting her engineering job in Kuala Lumpur two years ago, Kwan headed for Aberdeen where she enrolled for her second degree at the Scottish School of Contemporary Dance.

She has since been actively involved in stage performances and dance films in Scotland.

“Engineering is a skill-based knowledge I acquired. Having a second degree in dance has been a bonus and I believe that I can combine my knowledge in science and arts to create my ultimate career path,” she said in an e-mail interview.

Her Dancing Architecture performance as well as Wonder Woman and Bloke Fitness workouts have won her many fans in Aberdeen while two of her dance films were shown at the Jump Cut Film Festival in Dundee last year.
Audrey Kwan Audrey Kwan

She is now working closely with a cancer research organisation on an underwater dance film entitled Adaptation.

Kwan described her choreography of Dancing Architecture as a duet of art and science.

“The main concept behind architecture is capturing motion in stillness. In dance, every movement holds a shape if frozen. These shapes should show strength, versatility and agility and like buildings and city designs, they should be strong and functional,” she said.

Her Wonder Woman workout is a series of exercises that combine elements of physics, release techniques, yoga and Pilates while Bloke Fitness is the male version of the workout.

Kwan is now planning an art hub in Aberdeen with dance studios, an art gallery, spas as well as architecture and design studios under one roof.

The hub, she said, would act as an “incubator” for entrepreneurs to actualise their artistry to reality.

She has plans to expand the hub to different cities over the next 10 years.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on April 13, 2013 at 6:21am: BIOMEDIATIONS: ART, LIFE, MEDIA
One-day symposium at Goldsmiths, University of London
Date: Tuesday 14 May 2013
Venue: Goldsmiths, New Cross, MRB Screen 1
'Life' signifies many things. To begin with, it is a philosophical abstraction referring to our meaningful existence in the world. But 'life' also refers to biological processes taking place at environmental, social and cellular levels, as well as technical experiments with media, computer systems and biological models. Life as such doesn't therefore exist: it is always mediated by language, culture, technology and biology. It is these multiple mediations of life that form the theme of this symposium Biomediations: Art, Life, Media.
