“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.”

TechnoScience Salon

Monday, March 19, 2012
4:00pm to 6:00pm
Room 120, 215 Spadina Ave, Toronto
Free, no registration required

In collaboration with TechnoScience Salon, Subtle Technologies is pleased
to invite you to join this discussion featuring Hannah Landecker (UCLA), a
leading scholar of the histories of legacies of cell science and
technologies, and artists Jack Butler, Heidi McKenzie, Nadine Valcin and
Jennifer Willet.

Featured Speaker:
Hannah Landecker is an author and Associate Professor of Sociology at
UCLA. Her research interests are the social and historical study of
biotechnology and life science, from 1900 to the present, the intersections
of biology and technology, with a particular focus on cells, and the in
vitro conditions of life in research settings.

In conversation with 4 artists:
Jack Butler's hybrid practice uses the means and methods of visual art to
produce research in two domains – medical science and collaborations with
Inuit artists (the current project, Art & Cold Cash). With degrees in visual
art and philosophy, Butler exhibits internationally with work in public and
private collections including the National Gallery of Canada.

Heidi McKenzie is a Toronto-based ceramic artist completing her final year in
Ceramics at Sheridan School of Craft and Design. In 2010, Heidi left behind her
work in the cultural sector and committed to her new life path as an artist. Heidi
is a the recipient of the 2011 Emerging Artist Award for the Toronto Artist
Project juried art show and sale as well as the 2011 Metchosin International
Summer School Bursary.

Nadine Valcine fell in love with cinema after earning a degree in
architecture. For the past decade, she has written, directed and produced
television programs and magazines. Modulations, an experimental project, was
followed by the documentary Black, Bold and Beautiful (1999) which picked up
an honourable mention at the prestigious ‘Columbus International Film and
Video Festival’. She is presently in the process of writing her first
feature film dealing with a former child soldier seeking refugee status in
Canada.

Jennifer Willet is an internationally successful artist in the
emerging field of bioart. From 2000-2007 Willet and Shawn Bailey
collaborated on a project called BIOTEKNICA. She taught in the Studio Arts
Department at Concordia University from 2000-2007, and completed her PhD in
the Interdisciplinary Humanities Program at the same institution. In 2009
she opened a bioart research and teaching lab called INCUBATOR: Hybrid
Laboratory at the Intersection of Art, Science, and Ecology at the

JALA & JBS Art of Science Contest Uncovers Beauty of Meaningful Work
Every day, SLAS members work hard on important scientific projects in their labs, and sometimes, they take a step back simply to enjoy the beauty that can surface through the process. This year, SLAS was fortunate to have many of its members share some of their most mesmerizing scientific images.

In the fall of 2011 the Journal of Biomolecular Screening (JBS) and Journal of Laboratory Automation (JALA) Editorial Boards put in motion the 2012 JALA & JBS Art of Science Contest. With prizes and accolades at stake, the contest guidelines were simple:

“Submit a high resolution jpg file of your favorite cell structures, assay results or other lab creations. They might be interesting, beautiful or just plain COOL! Visualization plays an important role in the analysis and presentation of scientific work. In journal articles, images often communicate ideas and information in ways that text, tables, charts, graphs or equations cannot. Sometimes scientific images surpass this purpose and create shapes, patterns and designs that capture attention and imagination. These are the images JALA and JBS seek for the 2012 Art of Science Contest.”
