“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.”

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on November 7, 2011 at 9:20am: Art and Science Collide at The Lab

Saturday night was the showcase for Hypothesis: An Art/ Science Fair, hosted by The Lab. Presented in a classic science fair format, artists and scientists demonstrated their hypotheses, their experiments, and the final results and insights.

Highlights included Todd Lerew's "Quartz Cantabile," using heat and ceramic-lined test tubes to make music, Emilie Puttrich's "Laughter Archive Project" (sign a release form to contribute your own laugh to the collection), Maria Burr & Brad Danitz' potato-based computer, and Presley Martin's artistic collaboration with garden snails. Part natural investigation, part whimsy, part Museum of Jurassic Technology, all the exhibits were thought-provoking and fun.

The event was co-sponsored by The Exploratorium and the Leonardo Society (which has its own great free bi-monthly art-meets-science night at USF). Lots more pictures here

Collide@CERN Geneva Prize in Dance and Performance

Space, time and gravity are the fundamental forces in dance and performance, just as they are in particle physics.

The new Dance and Performance prize funded by the City and Canton of Geneva is open to choreographers and performers born in Geneva, or artists from any country currently working in Geneva. The Collide@CERN Geneva prize for Dance and Performance celebrates Geneva as an important place for both the arts and science - past, present and future.

The Collide@CERN Geneva prize comprises a bursary of 15,000CHF which allows the winning artist to work for 3 months at CERN, including giving two public lectures at the Globe of Science and Innovation, contributing a blog about the creative arts/science process and regular lunchtime advice sessions at CERN. The winning artist will be assigned a special science inspiration partner and have an office on site.

The prize also includes a grant of up to 15,000CHF to cover the costs of developing a new CERN-inspired work during the 3-month residency.

Submissions open 4 November must be received by 20 December 2011. The winner will be announced in January 2012.

Submissions for the prize should include:

A personal testimony and a description of a proposed project no more than 3 pages
A curriculum vitae, including examples of projects in DVD or website

These documents should be sent to arrive no later than 20 December 2011 to:

Collide@CERN Genève – Prix dance et performance

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on November 5, 2011 at 8:35am: CERN announces competition for dance and performance arts residency

November 4, 2011

Today the Collide@CERN residency program begins accepting submissions for artists working in dance or performance arts to come learn and create in the laboratory.

Unlike the program’s other residency in digital arts, which was announced at September’s Ars Electronica Festival, this competition is funded by the state and city of Geneva, Switzerland and is limited to artists who were either born in the area or are currently living or working there.

“This shows how CERN is really connecting to the city,” the program’s leader Ariane Koek said, adding that it also fits into Geneva’s strategy for refocusing itself as a city of arts and sciences.

Collide@CERN will host two residencies each year for three years, starting with the digital arts and the dance and performance arts competitions. The latter residency may change art forms every year, though the digital arts residency will remain in place.

Each selected artist is given a cash prize, three months of housing, board and living stipends and a science partner from the laboratory with whom he or she will meet regularly. Throughout their program, both partners will keep a blog, and the artist will have an open meeting with other scientists over lunch fortnightly in a CERN cafeteria. At the beginning and end of the residency, the artist-scientist pair will also hold joint lectures, which will be open to the public and available to watch online.

“It’s creating a lab of the imagination here, which will lead to unexpected innovations in the arts and sciences,” Koek said. “I see this as a great experiment.”

Since dance and performance arts are such laborious undertakings, often requiring many elements to produce — mainly people and money – Koek said completing a finished piece by the end of three months is unlikely. Instead, the goal of this residency is to create a work in progress that will hopefully be realized in the future with outside funding.

“Dance and performance are really the art forms most directly connected with time and space, which are the domain of particle physics,” Koek said.

According to Koek, Collide@CERN residencies are designed to put art and science on the same level. Just as CERN physicists are meticulously selected for their expertise, artists will be selected with the same degree of consideration. A panel of five judges, including two members of the CERN cultural board, two dance and performance specialists from the region and one person from the Swiss arts council, Pro Helvetica, will make the final decision. “It’s to bring mutual respect and understanding across arts and science,” Koek said. “That’s what’s so radical about this program, and it is at such a high international level.”

The closing date for dance and performance arts submissions is Dec. 20. A selection will be announced in early January, with the residency to begin a few months later.
