“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.”

Beyond Disciplinarity: Interventions in Cultural Studies and the Arts
Columbia College Chicago, Chicago, IL
May 23-26, 2013
- Open for Proposal Submissions: 7 January 2013
- Deadline for Proposals: 11 February, 2013
- Notification of Acceptance: 18 March 2013
- Early Conference Registration: 4 March 2013 - 22 April 2013
- Deadline for Inclusion in the Conference Program: 13 May 2013
The Cultural Studies Association (CSA) invites participation in its eleventh annual conference. The theme of this year's conference, Beyond Disciplinarity: Interventions in Cultural Studies and the Arts, encourages submissions that reflect on the nature, limits, and merits of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary practices across the humanities, social sciences, and the arts. This theme refers to the historic role of cultural studies as a field that intervenes in social and intellectual modes of disciplinarity from a variety of critical locations. The conference aims to attract work that meets those challenges by willfully reorganizing and redistributing the sensibilities and knowledges of disciplinary and interdisciplinary formations.
We are particularly interested in proposals that highlight research and teaching projects intended to rearrange existing forms of knowledge in an effort to create and imagine new institutional contexts for the development of cultural studies and its inquiries, including departments, programs, art centers, museums, and community organizations. As at past CSA conferences, we also welcome proposals from all areas and on all topics of relevance to cultural studies, including literature, history, sociology, geography, politics, anthropology, communications, popular culture, cultural theory, queer studies, critical race studies, feminist studies, post-colonial studies, legal studies, science studies, media and film studies, material culture studies, platform studies, visual art and performance studies.
This year's conference is hosted by Columbia College Chicago, the largest arts and media school in the United States with over 10,500 students pursuing degrees within over 120 undergraduate and graduate programs, including a well-established undergraduate program in Cultural Studies. Founded in 1890, the College houses a Museum of Contemporary Photography, the Center for Black Music Research, the International Latino Cultural Center, and the Institute for the Study of Women and Gender in Arts and Media, and is located in downtown Chicago, blocks from the Symphony Center of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Gene Siskel Film Center, the Museum Campus and the Theater District. The city is also home to over a dozen independent film festivals, around 200 theatre groups and venues, more than 88 colleges, several internationally
recognized research libraries, over 35 radio stations (in several languages), and more than 25 magazines and newspapers, just to name a few cultural and media institutions.

In Kenya- Africa:
'Layers' a unique science-art exhibition ,opening Sun 9th Dec 2012 at Nairobi National Museum
5 December 2012 - 3:05pm
Award-wining Kenyan artists James Muriuki and Miriam Syowia Kyambi are proud to present their new exhibition 'Layers' in the Ecology Gallery at the National Museum of Kenya.
The exhibition will open to the public on Sunday 9th December 2012 at 4pm.
Since June 2012 Muriuki and Kyambi have been exploring the research context of scientists working at the world renowned KEMRI-Wellcome Trust Research Programme in Kilifi as part of the Art in Global Health artist-in-residence program organised by Wellcome Collection in London, UK.
What has emerged from this process is a fascinating body of work which critically analyses, investigates and re-imagines the ways in which science research affects, and connects with, the broader social context within which it takes place. How can differences in belief systems be negotiated? What happens when a standard research method such as blood sampling is viewed with suspicion by the local community? Are there ways in which traditional medicines can be incorporated into contemporary health strategies?
These questions, and many others, form the basis of a whole process of curious reflection of Muriuki and Kyambi. As artists, they imagine the context of medical research in a very different, and complementary, way to scientists. Their research has been tirelessly documented in photography, interview, sketch and video documentation.
An integral part of the exhibition is a 72 page catalogue which details this research journey through photos, excerpts from sketch books, transcripts of interviews and some reflective texts. This will be launched on the opening night of the exhibition.
A key element that permeates this research are the 5 paths that the artists have identified over the course of the residency; education, belief, context, money and power and exploration. For Muriuki and Kyambi these paths offer a framework with which to understand the axes upon which scientists engage with the local context.
As a way of poetically exploring this hypothesis, the artists developed a mobile photo studio outfitted with various props connected to these paths. Lab coats with gold lapels or local fabrics, school desks, microscopes and scales were placed around the studio. Members of the public, who came to have their photo taken, were then asked if they wanted to include any of these accessories in their photo. These conversations, and the resulting photos, reveal many of the expectations, tensions, hopes and fears that the community in Kilifi have regarding the role of science research in their home town.
The exhibition presents this mobile photo studio, which will operate throughout the exhibition, a film on the process of taking the portraits in Kilifi, together with a study area where visitors can read the catalogue and further engage with the last 6 months of research that the artists have undertaken.
On Tuesday 11th December at 7pm the exhibition presents an evening of discussion surrounding the work of Muriuki and Kyambi and the context of scientific research that they came into contact with. The artists will be joined by research scientists from KEMRI, together with the local curator of the exhibition, Sam Hopkins in an informal discussion setting in the cafe of the National Museum.
This artist residency is part of a global artist-in-residence program establishing 6 artist residencies - in the UK, Kenya, Malawi, South Africa, Thailand and Vietnam. A selection of artworks from these other locations will also be represented in the exhibition.

Play the Future #2: Brain Battle
Art Science debate event: two debate sessions alternated by a diner buffet.
From 4pm till 10pm an interesting program will give you inspiration, lets you meet people sharing the same curiosity and interest.
First session:
Faas Moonen – Associate Professor TU/e Engineering
Arne Hendriks – Artist and Curator
Wiepko Oosterhuis (moderator) – Media AdvisorSecond session
Ben Schouten – Professor TU/e Industrial Design
Sander Veenhof – New Media artist
Carmin Karasic (moderator) – Media ArtistDecember 11, TAC, Vonderweg 1 Eindhoven – 16:00 – 22:00 hours ,
Abstract:
With Play the Future the boundaries between science and art will be exceeded. A project where art and technology meet and create new windows of opportunity for the future.
We are all a part of turbulent times. The world finds itself standing before great challenges concerning the current global economic and ecologic crisis. New technological concepts are required to face these challenges head on. In Play the Future we search for answers and inspiring examples through the confrontation of the fine arts and the world of science.
Play the Future has been created as a program involving the big issues of our time: Energy, Health and Smart Mobility. The region of South-East Brabant (The Netherlands) holds an ecosystem that has developed around these sectors in a big way. We want to make use of this infrastructure to create a dialogue between the ‘autonomous’ worlds of Art and Science, leading to innovative research and development of new solutions for the future.
Interdisciplinary concepts and solutions are the current chains that move innovation. The artist and scientist are able to discover new directions and solutions by means of inquisitive and curious way of thinking and working. The confrontation of the scientist and the artist sharing the same fascination within these themes form the basis of this idea. These research form the central “heart” of Puls2012. This result becomes apparent in more than one form in an exhibition with installations, workshops, hackathons, lectures, performances and a publication.
