“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.”

SymbioticA related activities
Call for Participants: SymbioticA Biotech for Artists Workshop
BiofiliA -Base for Biological Arts at Future Art Base, Aalto University, Finland
28th January-1st February, 2013
Saturday 2nd February, official inauguration of Aalto BiofiliA wet biology laboratory
Deadline for applications- Friday 26th November 2012
BiofiliA, Base for Biological Arts, Aalto University, Finland, in collaboration with SymbioticA, The University of Western Australia is organizing an intensive five day workshop for artists and other interested people. After the workshop the opening of the new laboratory and biological arts programme will be celebrated.
The workshop will be led by SymbioticA's Director//Aalto visiting Professor Oron Catts and BiofiliA's scientific collaborator Marika Hellman.
This is a hands-on workshop where the tools of modern biology are demonstrated through artistic engagement, which in turn gives voice to the broader philosophical and ethical exploration into the extent of human intervention with other living things. It involves exploration of biological technologies and issues stemming from their use; it serves as a theoretical and practical introduction to the creation of biological art and is aimed at mentoring artists in issues of biotechnology and the life sciences.
The workshop will cover hands-on engagement with some of the fundamental tool of modern biology in order to be able to carry out and critique manipulation of living systems from an informed practical perspective. The practical components include DNA extraction and fingerprinting, genetic engineering, animal tissue culture and basic tissue engineering techniques

MYRIAD
By Loren Kronemyer
8-14 November
Opening 9 November, 6-9pm
Free Range Gallery 339 Wellington St, Perth Western Australia
MYRIAD is an artistic exploration of insect communication, framed by relationships of control and exchange. SymbioticA masters student Loren Kronemyer has spent the past year researching social insects with the aim of achieving a form of interspecies dialogue. Her experimental process has approached communication as a form of drawing, creating lines through a range of techniques from pheromone manipulation to environmental intervention. The resulting images are living drawings that transform under the shifting influence of insect and human intelligence.

Glass art's science connection: Fifty years ago, art and science happily collided when artist and educator Harvey Littleton and scientist Dominick Labino melded their backgrounds in a compact, intensely hot kiln.
The collaboration came during a one-week workshop on glass art that Littleton staged in a shed on the grounds of Ohio's Toledo Museum of Art, in which Labino participated. While working to correct a few early technical problems, the pair developed a new approach to glass blowing that took the art form far away from the marching band-style glass replications Littleton viewed in his childhood -- his father would take him to his hometown's Corning Glasswork laboratory -- and opened a floodgate of fiery experimentation for blowing, flaming,

http://www.triumf.ca/research-highlights/experimental-result/reveal...Revealing: Science from Art from Science
Artistic Transformation Connecting Subatomic Physics to Human Experience
In autumn 2012, TRIUMF (Canada's national laboratory for particle and nuclear physics) has been part of a unique type of experiment: This experiment did not involve colliding beams or high-intensity protons on target, but instead...colliding scientists with artists. On Saturday, November 3, the results of this experiment, as well as the original physics question, will be revealed to a public audience at Emily Carr University of Art + Design on Granville Island in Vancouver, Canada. The eagerly anticipated result will be an entirely new way of generating and communicating scientific ideas.
Professor Ingrid Koenig from Emily Carr University in Canada along with Margit Schild and Elvira Hufschmid of the Berlin University of Arts in Germany have designed the project to explore complex topics in an unique way, and to influence and create new ideas in both art and science. Called RAW DATA, this first experiment is part of a larger project which will extend to other subatomoic physics labs, and across scientific disciplines around the world.
This first run of the experiment happened in two parts – in the first part, four professional artists spent an entire day discussing a scientific question with three TRIUMF scientists. The art that this group produced was then passed on to a second set of artists who did not know the topic. Hence after, the art from those artists was passed to another set of artists who digested and interpreted the fundamental question. The results of the experiment will be on public display on November 1-3, 2012, in the Concourse Gallery of Emily Carr University of Art + Design. Inquiring minds may view the exhibit and guess and discover the original science question at the exhibit.
Nigel S. Lockyer, director of TRIUMF, said, "In physics, as in any science, it's important to gain inspiration from a lot of different areas. New ways of looking at the same problem can lead to great discoveries. I'm excited to see what the artists have produced and to reflect on their interpretations so as to enrich my own thinking." TRIUMF has declared itself a part of the Vancouver community and uses the neighbourly and artists interactions to help share their excitement of pioneering science with local citizens.
The art RAW DATA project is a collaboration between international artists and physicists from TRIUMF, Canada´s national laboratory for particle and nuclear physics, and Emily Carr. By applying the practices of artistic transformation, a chain reaction of complex artistic metaphors is generated and hence a concrete problem from physics is translated to the four basic aesthetic media - music, body, language and image. The transformation process of RAW DATA: Artistic Transformation on one hand takes place by translating scientific or physical facts into art. On the other hand, artistic works will lead to new scientific questions or experiments, as a re-translation of artistic works into the realms of physics is intended.
In a so-called Translation Hub, the artistic RAW DATA that is provided by the artists is in turn to be re-translated into the scientific realm.

Biology & Art by Maura Flannery: An Intricate Relationship, a wonderful article in which she features 22 artists and how they blend biology and art in their work. You can postpone your museum visits for a little while longer. Thanks to Maura, you only need to travel as far as your file cabinet for examples to help illustrate the fact that biology and art influence each other on many levels.
The artists featured in Flannery (2012) work with pencil, pen and ink, glass, clay, stainless steel, and even dung. Some keep nature journals, press plants, make prints with fish, create molecules, and use insects as art. You’ll even find examples of controversial bio-art in her article.
