“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.”

It’s at the intersection of the disciplines that we see the greatest innovation. Where art meets science, where tech meets business. The key is to actually have the two lines of thinking run into each other.
The idea for a place called The Hub originated in London in 2005, as a space for innovators to meet. Hubs now exist in over 25 cities worldwide, including Johannesburg, Melbourne, and Sao Paulo.

Official launch of KiiCS’ Art & Science incubation activities
Tuesday, October 2, 2012 - 11:27The EU-project KiiCS’ incubation activities were officially launched on 28th September, in Naples: artists, creative people and scientists will work together on innovative ideas and help communicate science in new and creative ways.
HighlightsFrom September 2012 until June 2014, KiiCS partners – science and arts centres and multidisciplinary platforms – will develop 9 original and innovative incubation actions associating people from the science and creative sectors (from arts to design to new media) to come up with new ideas for products, services or creative work places in different fields:
What to expect from KiiCSEach Incubator Partner will organise laboratories, workshops, exhibitions, artists’ residencies, etc. involving its local community of artists, scientists, education institutes or businesses. Creative solutions and intelligent technologies will, for instance, be tried out to aid the development of Smart Cities or, in other cases, new ways to co-create music apps will be explored. The best idea will receive the European KiiCS Award – a voucher of € 5,000 to be spent on business support services to implement the idea.
“KiiCS will demonstrate how crucial science and art centres are to Europe’s culture of innovation. As open-minded, accessible and publically engaging institutions, science and art centres are the perfect breeding grounds for the new ideas that will shape tomorrow’s Europe. Where else can scientists, artists, businesspeople and the public – particularly young people – collaborate so freely?” (C. Franche, Executive Director at Ecsite, KiiCS project leader).

Short term courses in sci-art interactions:
http://sciencegallery.com/blog/2012/09/idea-lab-explore-future-city...Idea Translation Lab (developed by Harvard University), a broad curriculum course available to Trinity College Dublin undergraduates and Idea Lab (a collaboration with IBM and Dublin City Council). This semester they are offering a free, mini-taster of this process to adults interested in learning more about how to develop ideas for future city needs.
The Idea Lab will work on the boundaries of art and science, engineering, and developing new innovative ideas where these disciplines meet. It is a cross disciplinary course stimulating the development of entrepreneurial skills through collaborative group projects. The course consists of a combination of talks (including many by guest lecturers) and weekly workshop and practical sessions where participants will develop their collaborative projects.
This semester, as part of their wider educational programme, Science Gallery will be offering this course to adults as an evening class. Running for 8 weeks from Tuesday 16th October to Tuesday 11th December, the course will focus on guiding people through activites focusing on modifiying, critiquing and addressing our urban environments and associated social interactions.
Practical sessions will focus on group-based idea generation and collaboration. Over the 8 weeks participants will also learn a variety of 'design thinking' skills, which will enable them to work on developing a prototype project.
Classes will be run every Tuesday evening from the 16 October from 6pm until 8pm, upstairs in Studios 1 & 2 in Science Gallery, Pearse St, Dublin 1.
This course is free to attend, but places are limited to 15 participants. Submission is open to anyone interested in taking the course. No particular skills are required. You can register on their website.
Deadline for registration is FRIDAY 12TH OCTOBER 2012.

Group pushing for science-art museum:
http://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20121003/greenpoint/group-mobilizes...
The science-art museum Brooklyn local non-profit Town Square hopes to help create. "The museum will appeal to people of all ages, in the same way the Natural History Museumdoes."
Town Square — a 7-year-old grassroots group with a 1,500-reader email list and with connections to local schools — is mobilizing on Anderson's idea, she said, and rallying the community to fuse the disciplines in an interactive learning center.
"The approach is for people to learn more about science with the application of art and to learn more about art through the application of science," she said of the concept, in its primary stages of development.

Slovenian Society of Aesthetics
40th International Colloquium: "Surplus Art: Art - Science - Philosophy"
October 10-13, 2012
Collaborating institutions:
Science and Research Centre & Faculty of Humanities, University of Primorska, Museum of Modern Art Ljubljana, Gallery of Contemporary Art, Celje, Kapelica Gallery, Ljubljana, Cultural Centre of European Space Technologies, Vitanje
Location: Museum of Contemporary Art, Metelkova, Maistrova 3, SI-1000 Ljubljana Between the 16th and the 18th centuries in Europe a transition takes place from the scientific tradition of the Middle Ages to the new age of science, which is today known by the term scientific revolution, when the field of science is being constituted in a modern sense. At the end of this period in a similar manner art as an autonomous sphere has been established, which becomes the subject of aesthetics as philosophy of art. In the 1980s and 1990s the discussions about the end of art, philosophy of art, art history and modernity are very dynamic and diagnose bigger changes that happen in the field of art.
http://www.sde.si/2012.htmlExperiments in (and out of) the studio: Art and Design Methods for Science and Technology Studies One day workshop, Tuesday October 16th, 2012 10:30AM-5:30PM, Copenhagen Business School, Copenhagen The organizers invite participation in an interdisciplinary one-day hands-on workshop on emerging methods of critical practice in science and technology studies, in particular methods that engage with art and design as well as performance and exhibition. Ultimately, we aim to refine our understanding and also intervene in the way that objects can stimulate and embody critique in STS.
The workshop comprises three parts: (1) A morning of talks and participant discussion in the creation and interpretation of digital and material artefacts will operate as a means of exploring how techno-scientific knowledge is produced and how the social significance of that knowledge is refracted through material things.
(2) A midday ethnographic exploration of the city of Copenhagen will focus on documenting urban technology through notes, photography, video and sketches to feed into the final session. (3) In the afternoon, we invite participants to build 'machines of enquiry' to materialise and experiment with the ethnographic material as a way of prototyping research insights.
If you are interested in participating, please send a brief (3-5 sentences) expression of interest and a short 250-word bio or CV to Dehlia Hannah dh2058@columbia.edu by October 8th at 5pm EST. Please put 'Pre-EASST Workshop' in the subject heading. We will notify all participants about the status of their application shortly afterwards.

From Symbiotica; 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.

from Symbiotica: SymbioticA related activities
ArtMeatFlesh II in Norway
SymbioticA with Special guests Liv Torunn Mydland, Roger Strand, Zack Denfeld,Cathrine Kramer, Atle Lura and Rune Larsen
6 October 21:00 - 23:15
Following the recent success of SymbioticA's ArtMeatFlesh at DEAF2012 in Rotterdam, ARTICLE 2012 presents the Norwegian edition: an evening that will flesh out some meat with in-vitro meat growers, philosophers and artists. Using the format of popular cooking competition shows, animal protein will meet metabolism cuisine in a battle for supremacy over the secret ingredient of (semi)living meat with no body; an event filled with translation of proteins, behavioural changes versus technical solutions, and amnesia... In this edition of ArtMeatFlesh, Oron Catts - director of SymbioticA and the first person to co-grow and co-eat in-vitro meat - will host some of the more eccentric figures in the eat-lab-meat debate and might even serve a portion of meat-like substance to the audience....
