“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.”

Open Call
A worldwide call for projects made via Ars Electronica’s online submission tool will be open from mid of December till 9th of February, 2015. The submitting artists have the chance to win a residency at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in Chile. There is free access to the application process by all interested artists.
Interdisciplinarity, digital creativity and intercultural exchange are the three key criteria for artists submitting to the open call.
Submitters have to include the following to their online application:
A personal testimony video which introduces the artist, who describes why and how this residency will inspire new work (up to 5 minutes)
An outline of a possible concept/idea which the artist wishes to pursue at ESO and Futurelab
A draft production plan with costing/costs and a timeline/schedule
A selected portfolio of works which showcases projects the artist is proud ofA Jury consisting of representatives of Ars Electronica, scientific mentors from ESO and some members of the seven cultural partner institutions will choose outstanding ideas and concepts as winners of the residency award. The evaluation criteria are aesthetics, originality, a compelling conception, innovation, the technique and quality of the presentation as well as the interest in the ideas of science as expressed by ESO.

Origami and the laws of physics
A physicist’s take on an ancient art has provided new solutions for folding telescopes and airbags.
origami, the Japanese art of paper folding, is interesting because of its restrictions. Classic origami models should be created from a single sheet of paper – no cutting or gluing allowed. From this simple proposition a wonderful variety arises.
Trained as a physicist and engineer, Lang was introduced to origami at the age of six. By his early teens he was creating original designs. He continued his study of origami while at Stanford University and Caltech where he was awarded his PhD in applied physics. The combination of his scientific background and his love of origami has enabled him to develop amazing designs and techniques.
Lang has consulted with automobile safety equipment manufacturers on the optimal way to stow air bags, worked with members of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory on the best way to fit a 30-metre optical telescope into a rocket body without creasing the fragile lens membrane, and designed a sterile medical instrument pouch that can be opened without being contaminated.With the confluence of maths and origami not yet 30 years old, Lang believes that continued research into the art will have even more to offer.

Edward Belbruno has spent a career dreaming up trajectories across the solar system that allow spacecraft to buzz close by planets and change speed without using fuel. But Belbruno is also a prolific painter, and the genesis of his spacecraft trajectory concept originated in that art.
Belbruno's cosmic paintings are currently on display at the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) Gallery 61 in New York City. Many of the works are inspired by, or are inspiration for, Belbruno's professional work in cosmology, spaceflight science and mathematics.
One of the Belbruno's paintings, titled "When I Was 7," features a small spacecraft with landing legs deployed, floating against a red sky. It's one of the first paintings Belbruno ever did (at age 7), and it seems somewhat prophetic, considering that the combination of art and science has, in many ways, defined the rest of Belbruno's life.

Focus on Antarctic architecture
The development of Antarctic architecture, from purely functional to futuristic, imaginative and speculative design, is highlighted in an international touring exhibition now showing at Otago Museum.''Ice Lab: New Architecture and Science in Antarctica'' showcases five major projects, some in existence and others purely speculative, which are pushing the boundaries of design in extreme environments.
The free exhibition, which was commissioned by the British Council and curated by the Arts Catalyst, highlights the constant interplay between art and science in Antarctic architecture and provides a glimpse of the future of both.
In Dunedin recently to help set up the exhibition, Sam Patterson, of Architecture and Design, in Scotland, said the designs were remarkable in their scope.
''We have everything from concept ideas on how we could inhabit Antarctica with as little impact as possible, to science elements exploring the relationship between Antarctica and outer space,'' Mr Patterson said.
Until recently, Antarctic architecture was based purely on function, allowing scientists to live and work in the extreme environment. Now it was at the forefront of design, technology and engineering innovation.

From January 14 to 18, Panaji will host The Story of Light (SOL) Festival, a science-meets-art festival that will showcase projects by 45 artists and scientists from 14 countries, in the form of performances, installations, live projections and workshops, to instruct in an interactive way . Speaking about the event, festival director Jaya Ramchandani says, “Science is beautiful and can be taught through art and design. A pre-conceived notion is that science is inaccessible and exclusive. However, science is much more than that and it understands that the universe is a magical place. Through art, we can tell its truest stories which shouldn’t remain hidden in textbooks.”
