“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's Director Oron Catts will be providing a keynote address at this conference. Last chance to submit your papers!
>From its inception, SLSA has distinguished itself from other humanistic scholarly societies through its sustained interest in the nonhuman. Not only does SLSA concern itself with nonhuman actants like tools, bodies, networks, animals, climate, media, or biomes but it is also engaged with such nonhumanistic academic disciplines as mathematics, computing, and the natural and physical sciences.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on May 17, 2012 at 5:27am: Ars Electronica winners
Congratulations to Peta Clancy and Helen Pynor, whose work 'The Body is a Big Place' received an honorary mention at Ars Electronica 2012 in the Hybrid Art division. The piece explores organ transplantation and the ambiguous thresholds between life and death, revealing the process of death as an extended durational moment, rather than an event that occurs in a single moment in time. This bio-art work is a large-scale immersive installation comprising a 5-channel video projection, a fully functioning bio-sculptural heart perfusion system, an undulating aqueous soundscape, and a single channel video work. The work was developed in conjunction with research done at SymbioticA http://prix2012.aec.at/prixwinner/6286/
Congratulations also to friend of SymbioticA Joe Davis for winning the Golden Nica in Hybrid Arts at this years Ars Electronica! His piece 'Bacterial Radio' utilises genetically engineered bacteria to conduct energy and transmit radio signals.

Semipermeable lecture series

SymbioticA and the Institute of Advanced Studies at UWA present the Semipermeable public lecture series. Just like a semipermeable membrane, SymbioticA offers exchange between art and the life sciences. SymbioticA is developing a new research project entitled Semipermeable, which will be facilitated through a multiplicity of artistic and scientific approaches. This quarantine will allow for controlled hybridisation and will act as a membrane for cultural production.

PROJEKTET: Ola Johansson and Amanda Newall
19 May - 15 July
Opening 18 May 6:30 PM
Fremantle Arts Centre
Projektet draws on the notion of the immune system as a bio-artistic blueprint of personal and cultural changes In a joint residency with SymbioticA, Amanda Newall and Ola Johansson conduct lab-based research along with applied performance work in local communities in the metropolitan Perth area. The exhibition will involve a variety of media, such as lab results, costume, physical objects, video and performative actions. Experiments with our most outreaching and personal site of identity, the corporeal immune system, will provoke graphic, material, conceptual and live reactions that applies to site-specific circumstances where social actors will ultimately come up against the limits of their own identities/communities. Bio-artistic game concepts will incite personal and collective (inter)actions toward future communal relations beyond biological determinism and cultural utopias.

ADAPTATION EXHIBITION
6 May - 10 June 2012
INQB8 Centre for Contemporary Art, 63 Ormsby Terrace, Mandurah Western Australia Exploring the microbe to the macro, and everything in-between, Adaptation is SymbioticA's art and ecology research project undertaken by artists at Lake Clifton since 2008. Adaptation features the work of: ART ORIENTÉ OBJET, JUAN M. CASTRO, ORON CATTS, GALLIANO FARDIN, CATHERINE HIGHAM, GLORIA KEARING AND ROB EWING, PERDITA PHILLIPS, VYONNE WALKER, CARMEL WALLACE, ANNAMARIA WELDON.
Lake Clifton as a location and as a metaphor, offers a microcosmic peak into the broader issues of ecology and life itself.
Adaptation broadly scopes issues spanning the creation of life, indigenous culture, colonisation, scientific discovery, developmental booms, to fragility in the face of climate change. Outcomes of SymbioticA's Adaptation residency and collaboration projects will be showcased in this exhibition.

http://www.theledger.com/article/20120513/NEWS/205135007

By weaving science with art we can use real world activities to not only teach students about technology, but also teach them to see beyond what lies on the surface.

Both art and science require the use of observational skills, curiosity and constant experimentation with colors, textures, shapes and forms.

Interview with Marc Quinn

A
The Coastal Zone
May 12 to October 15, 2012,
the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco dedicates a major exhibition at the British artist Marc Quinn. On this occasion, many works, paintings, sculptures and installations will be unveiled in the galleries, his great court, and panoramic terrace.
Marc Quinn and the Oceanographic Museum: alchemy, a shared universe.
To prepare for this exhibition, Marc Quinn wished to work closely with the team of the Oceanographic Museum and soak up the scene, a masterpiece of monumental and decorative art, its atmosphere, the diversity of its collections and vision of the Founder of the Oceanographic Museum, Prince Albert I, wishing to "unite in one luster the two driving forces of civilization: the Art and Science" in the service of the oceans, source of life for future generations.

Life will be at the heart of this exhibition, a real chemistry between the world of the artist and the world oceans presented at the Oceanographic Museum. Beyond a meeting, this is a shared universe.

An exhibition designed by the artist as a renewed dialogue between and original art and science without borders
Bringing together an outstanding creations of Marc Quinn exhibited among the remarkable collection of marine specimens and marine life, this exhibition will establish a renewed dialogue between Art and Science. Exposed in parallel, the two disciplines reinforce each other. Their juxtaposition will understand the works of the artist, the museum's collections and the aquarium from a different perspective allowing us to see what else we think we know.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on May 14, 2012 at 6:09am: Somebody said this recently:

What do you think about the Scream of Edward Munch? personally I think it is a worthless painting and was sold for such a price is a shame for the Art World.

In Holland there was an exhibition in a well known museum about the work of Edward Munch.
It was a worthless exhibition, not a single work was worth looking at and we left very soon.
How is it possible to be famous by One Painting? You tell me.

My reply: Scream is a thinking art work and how the artist felt about nature in relation to his internal conflicts. It conveys a message. The tormented expression in the scream transcends time and is iconic in its expression of complete despair. It powerfully portrays/communicates despair,loss abandonment...and you don't need to be in that frame of mind to appreciate it.It's uniqueness is an enormous attraction and cost/value incidental.An acquisitive collector will pay whatever they are able. It is just not another art work. If collectors can relate to it to such an extent as to spend a bomb on it who are we to protest? The artist's ability to make the collector see what he sees and pay so much is really admirable.

Yes, one painting can make you a great artist. It is the quality and not quantity that counts. Mona Lisa made da Vinci famous. In fact da Vinci created just 12-15 works in his entire life time. But still the world considers him as one of the great artists in the world.
It looks as though you give importance to visual appeal rather than the message that touches the soul. That is why you are unable to see the importance of Munch's work.

( Art is interpreted differently by each individual, however, one thing that stays in common is the fact that one 'experiences' something upon seeing an artwork - a feeling or a thought. In this case, the viewer is encouraged to experience the artwork as a whole, and be a part of it. It is an imagination converted into something tangible along with a result of associated intangibles—it is "definitely art". )
