“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.”

Biology of art: Science in the city, Malta:

The aim of the event is to showcase the potential inspiration artists can derive from scientific theories. This will be done by focusing on one theory in particular, the view (favoured mostly by evolutionary psychologists) human art evolved as a by-product of sexual selection. This won't be the place for arguing as to the validity or falsehoods of the theory, although strong cases in favour of it will automatically be made, yet the idea is to open the eyes of the audience to an uncommon theory.

The event

will take place over the course of two hours. The first hour will be a talk which will itself be sub-divided into 3 parts:
1st part: A brief and general introduction to sexual selection as put forward by Darwin and others after.
2nd part: A foray into the theory of art as a product of sexual selection.
3rd part: How this theory is relevant to art and artists today.

The second hour will consist of a Q and A session, and a brief creative session. In the Q and A session the audience will be at liberty to put forward their queries, objections, feedbacks, etc about the talk. The creative session will be an optional segment in which, if the audience wishes, they will be given time to write poems, prose, ideas, or sketch drawings, or whatever they please, based on the night's talk. The audience will then be asked to put up their work on the Facebook event page for further discussion.

Location: Music Room, St James Cavalier
Time: 19:30, 18th Oct

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on October 15, 2012 at 8:03am: From ANAT Digest:

Crystal Palace: The Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nuclear Nations
Artereal Gallery in Rozelle Sydney until 3 November 2012
ANAT Synapse Residency 2010 recipients Ken and Julia Yonetani have created art installations made from sugar, salt and now uranium glass. They have attracted both international acclaim and brought widespread attention to serious issues that threaten the survival of entire ecosystems and the environment at large. Ken and Julia Yonetani have begun working with Uranium glass to make visible the silent and invisible menace of radiation. In direct response to Japan’s 2011 horrific Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident and the phenomenon of leaking radiation, they have developed Crystal Palace: The Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of all Nuclear Nations, which comprises an installation of chandeliers made from vintage Uranium glass beads. This series has been created alongside What the Birds Knew, which focuses on the mining of uranium in Australia at Nabarlek and comprises a five-meter long glowing sculpture of a Green Ant (the Aboriginal dreaming related to the site) and accompanying text-based works made from vintage uranium glass tubing shaped into words reading – ‘radioactive’, ‘meltdown’ and ‘electric dreams’.
The work is showing at Artereal Gallery, 747 Darling Street, Rozelle in Sydney until 3 November 2012.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on October 15, 2012 at 8:01am: Balance/Unbalance International Conference 2013 :: Noosa, Australia
Art + Scientists x Technology = Environment/Responsibility
Call for Submissions closes 20 November 2012
Balance-Unbalance is an International Conference designed to use art as a catalyst to explore intersections between nature, science, technology and society as we move into an era of both unprecedented ecological threats and transdisciplinary possibilities. The conference will host artists, scientists, economists, philosophers, politicians, sociologists, engineers and policy experts from across the world to engage in dialogue and action towards a sustainable future. Balance-Unbalance 2013 will also host a diversity of virtual components allowing global accessibility and significantly reducing the carbon footprint of a major international conference.
The 2013 conference theme, Future Nature, Future Culture[s] is aimed to provoke discourse around what our elusive future might hold and how transdisciplinary thought and action could be used as tools for positive change.
Submissions are now being accepted for the International Balance-Unbalance 2013 conference to be held at Central Queensland University in Noosa, Australia from May 31 - June 2, 2013. Balance-Unbalance 2013 is being held in the town of Noosa, in parallel with the Floating Land 2013 Green Art festival and just prior to the ISEA 2013 in Sydney, so participants can maximise their time in Australia by attending all three events.

Art fuses with science in laser documentary of Swami Vivekananda
PTI
The life of Swami Vivekananda have come alive through a first-of-its-kind documentary made in laser by a U.S.-based artist Manick Sorcar on the philosopher—saint’s 150th birth anniversary.

Full of animation and 3D effects, the documentary uses cutting-edge laser technology to transport the audience to a world where art fuses with science seamlessly.

Funded by the Ramakrishna Mission Institute of Culture at Golpark, ‘Swamiji’ was premiered here at Science City on Wednesday evening in the presence of Union Minister for Culture Kumari Selja.

“He was India’s biggest cultural ambassador ever. For the world he was like a roaring fire of spirituality,” the minister said.

Planned as a tribute to the saint on the occasion of his 150th birth anniversary celebrations, Sorcar, son of the late legendary magician P C Sorcar, said the one-hour-long documentary was the longest laser documentary ever made on anyone. He now plans to screen his creation in other major cities of India, the U.S. and other countries.

The documentary starts with rare, black and white original images from the pages of an old picture book where the audience visits famous scenes from the Columbus Hall of the Art Institute in Chicago.

There, Swami Vivekananda gave his famous speech at the Parliament of Religions which opened with the famous address .

“My Sisters and Brothers of America“.

The lines had impressed the august gathering so much that they gave him a standing ovation lasting over two minutes. As Swamiji’s message of religious tolerance is delivered, the black and white images come to life in colourful laser beams and three—dimensional visual effects. Research for this project started several years ago when Sorcar, visited the Art Institute in Chicago.

“It was my desire to do a laser documentary on the life of Swamiji who has been the inspiration all my life. Then after being invited by the Ramakrishna Mission Institute of Culture my dream came true,” said the artist.

Inspired by the America’s Cup’s Healthy Ocean Project, Blue Trail is a call to action. Recruiting the best and brightest artists and designers, scientists and techies, we will produce a “trail” of ten interactive installations along the San Francisco waterfront during the final races of the America’s Cup, each designed to awaken people to the mystery, beauty and fragility of the world’s oceans.

Blue Trail kicks off with a high energy Design Jam Competition on October 27. We welcome artists and designers from all fields, as well as engineers, programmers, educators, students, surfers, ocean activists and all others who care about the planet.
