“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.”

The exhibition touches the problem of transspecies communication and the changing definition of life in the context of information systems, and the changing definition of a human kind transformed by the recent technology from biotechnology, andthe increasing prevalence of transgenic organisms and various human body integration with computerized machines from various simple devices (smatrphone) subject to the convergence of extended brain functions such as memory , numeracy, to the knowledge of foreign languages, or medical grounds, up to the senses such as sight, hearing (monitoring, interception) to advanced nanotechnology equipment to support the immune system, and performing various operations for the army (Smartdust). Works of art exploring the territory posthumanistic ideas in a critical way and without a utopian vision of the future, often refer to the category of FAKE as a subversive artistic methods. By free use of tactics FAKE questions are asked about the status of the cognitive sciences based on media-mediated experience – and therefore a blurring of the boundaries between knowledge and creativity.

Panel talks intersection of science, art
Five artists and scientists spoke Tuesday evening as part of a Brain Storm panel about the connection between science and art. Produced by the Everett Company, the speakers discussed how they had integrated science and art within their own careers and how the two can be combined in science education.
The integration of science and art was at the heart of the discussion. All of the speakers came from disparate fields, and each integrated the separate domains of science and art into their own work.

Sustainability requires science, tech … and art
http://www.greenbang.com/sustainability-requires-science-tech-and-a...
Are advances in science and technology the cure to the world’s many unsustainable habits? Some people are coming to the conclusion that the answer is no: know-how and hard facts aren’t enough to solve our problems.
“Narratives, stories, music and images served to warn our early ancestors against predators and natural disasters,” says Paul Shrivastava, director of the David O’Brien Centre for Sustainable Enterprise at Concordia University’s John Molson School of Business (JMSB). “Art helped them develop defense mechanisms. My colleagues and I believe that art should be used to deal with modern survival threats such as climate change and environmental crises.”
Shrivastava and colleagues from the University of Lorraine and the ICN Business School in Nancy, France, have co-authored an article for the International Journal of Technology Management that argues a focus on the arts is needed — in addition to science and technology — to instill the passion that’s needed to become more sustainable.
“No significant human endeavour has ever been accomplished without passion,” Shrivastava says. “Science and technology by themselves aren’t enough. We need to turn to the arts in order to infuse passion into the pursuit of sustainability and get real results that will heal the planet.”
In addition to building a passion for more sustainable habits, the arts benefit society in other ways that lead to better living as well, according to Shrivastava. Organizations with an eye on the arts can boost employee creativity, improve worker satisfaction and encourage innovations in sustainable products and services.
“We’ve spent decades relying on science and technology and the planet is still in shambles,” Shrivastava says. “Art allows fresh perspectives and new ways interpreting the world. In Montreal and beyond, art is what will make us give up our old habits in favor of planet-changing behavior.”

Physicist turns artist, captures beauty of science and arts on lens
Showcasing the interaction between the beauty of arts and science, physicist-turned-artist and PU alumnus Sukant Saran displayed his work at the Fine Arts museum at Panjab University on Friday.
The exhibition titled ‘SCALES Micrograph - Photo Montages’, includes digital prints of commonplace objects seen under the microscope and photographed. The micrographs are aesthetically juxtaposed with normal photographs of the objects to create photo montages.
According to Saran, “The idea is to portray two scales- the visible and the microscopic scale, in the same frame”. For instance, a pencil shaving as viewed under a microscope is superimposed against the image of a tree which is its point of origin at the macro level.
Another interesting print which also serves as a commentary is titled ‘Watch’ (currency). It is a magnification of a portion of a currency note, near Mahatma Gandhi’s eyes, juxtaposed against a photograph of the note, signifying that his vigilant eye is constantly watchful of the integrity of its holder. Similar effects were used to depict other everyday objects.
From science to art was a long journey of over 15 years for Saran, who claims that he is almost completely an artist now. He says that was involved with editing the in-house journal of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai, where he presently works. “Bored of editing the drab scientific journals, I started using graphics in them. Eventually, I started customizing the graphics according to the subject matter,” he says.
He gradually shifted to experimenting with the artistic side of scientific objects and patterns using digital art technology and photography. Saran observes, “The scientific view has grown into such a philosophical world-view, and even a way of life, that people from diverse backgrounds see it in their own fashion. Artists too respond to its beauty and mystery by creating an artistic vision of topical scientific concepts and developments, appealing to the scientifically inclined”.
Through a lecture organised on Friday at PU, Saran described how science and art, regardless of their differences, have always interacted at various levels, constantly informing and enriching each other. The exhibition will continue till October 21.

Artist-in-residence celebrated through Forum exhibition
The University of Exeter is displaying new work by Pery Burge, artist-in-residence at the University’s College of Engineering, Mathematics and Physical Sciences.
From 5 October, The Forum at the University of Exeter will host … the pattern is new in every moment.
The exhibition includes images, videos, and a 3D sculpture combining a unique mixture of light, bubbles and fluid.
For the last year, Pery Burge has been Leverhulme Trust-funded artist-in-residence at the College of Engineering, Mathematics and Physical Sciences. She has experimented with inks, water and other fluids to explore natural processes, creating images of fluid flow by photographing or filming the ink as it moves on and in the water. She also photographs the patterning of light on glass.
Much of the work on display is the outcome of her collaboration with University scientists, engineers and technicians.
Pery Burge said: "Working at the University has given me the opportunity to develop some exciting new techniques, with some surprising results. University technicians have helped me with using some wonderful equipment in the Fluids Laboratory, and I have enjoyed fruitful discussions with scientists and engineers. The Forum is a beautiful space and I am delighted to have the opportunity to show my work there."
The title of the exhibition is a quote from T.S. Eliot's Four Quartets and the aim is to explore how pattern changes through transformation, modification, self-embellishment, superimposition and decay.
The exhibition…the pattern is new in every moment will be in the Forum, University of Exeter Streatham Campus from Friday 5 October to Wednesday 21 November 2012, 8am-8pm. Entry is free
Pery’s residency and this exhibition are supported by the Leverhulme Trust.

South West Branch Photo Competition
28 March 2012
The winner and runner up of the Branch’s photo competition were announced at the Festival of Physics in Bristol on 3 March.
The winner of the competition was Pery Burge, currently an artist in residence in the Thermofluids Lab at the College of Engineering, Mathematics and Physical Sciences at Exeter University, a position funded by the Leverhulme Trust.
Her photo, entitled ‘Sci-fi Garden Growing’, showing vortices in a soap film earned her the first prize of a Kindle. Find out more about her job and photography work.
The runner-up was Peter Vukusic with his photo ‘Brilliant whiteness in ultra-thin beetle scales’. He won £25 of Jessops vouchers.
Congratulations to both Pery and Peter!
Winner: Sci-fi Garden Growing’
Sci-fi gardenThese two sequential images are of vertically arranged soap film, separated by less than one second. The source of flow comes from a mixture of detergent and glycerol draining from bubbles, not seen, at the bottom of the blue vortex ‘stems’ - the images have been inverted for aesthetic purposes.
Vortices push through oncoming speckled red flow; their shapes modified by this flow, becoming rounded and mushroom-shaped. In the face of the flow, the vortices may also bifurcate - the tall blue form stretching upward on the extreme left divides to accommodate oncoming flow. The relative velocities of upward and downward flow help define the shapes and patterns as they appear.

Heart of Glass: The Art of Medical Models
Gary Farlow can make art out of arteries. He and his team of 10 at Farlow’s Scientific Glassblowing are able to transform the body’s vasculature—and nearly all of its other parts—into an ornate borosilicate glass sculpture, from the heart’s ventricles to the brain’s circle of Willis. “We do almost every part of the body,” Farlow says. “It can take a pretty artistic mind to make some of these things.” With the help of cardiologists, the team creates custom see-through systems for science and medical training.
Their anatomically correct models can be designed to simulate blood flow, teach placement of catheters and angioplasty devices, or simply test or demo new surgical gizmos. Individual arteries, veins, and capillaries are shaped and fused together, one at a time. Ground-glass joints are added at the exposed ends so a head, say, can be connected to the carotid arteries should customers want to expand their model.

The science of conserving Gija art
event on 17th October, 2012 at 11:58 amIn March 2011, floods destroyed the Warmun Community and seriously damaged the significant Warmun Community Art Collection. From this catastrophic event, an exciting engagement between scientists, artists, conservators and art managers has emerged that is expanding ways of thinking about art, science and cultural material.
Join us for a unique insight into the art and science of indigenous cultural materials conservation and the culture of the Gija people. This event is jointly hosted by the Melbourne Materials Institute and the Centre for Cultural Materials Conservation (CCMC).
Date: Thursday 25 October, 2012
Time: 6.30pm-7.30pm
Venue: Elisabeth Murdoch TheatreAdmission is free. Refreshments to follow.
Find out more or book online
Associate Prof Robyn Sloggett (Director, CCMC) will discuss the importance of incorporating Gija indigenous knowledge into university-based research and training in art conservation.
Dr Petronella Nel (Lecturer and Researcher, CCMC) will give an overview of current techniques used to analyse cultural materials, with a particular focus on understanding the composition of earth-based pigment, which are prevalent in Gija art. In a pre-recorded interview, artists from the Warmun Art Centre will speak about the significance of the Warmun Community Art Collection for the Gija people and the central place of art in their lives.
