An excellent guide often best brings an art gallery or museum’s collections to life. Starting this week, we’re hoping to bring this experience online with “Art Talks,” a series of Hangouts on Air on our Google Art Project Google+ page. Each month, curators, museum directors, historians and educators from some of the world’s most renowned cultural institutions will reveal the hidden stories behind particular works, examine the curation process and provide insights into particular masterpieces or artists.
The first guided visit will be held this Wednesday, March 6 at 8pm ET from The Museum of Modern Art. Deborah Howes, Director of Digital Learning, along with a panel of artists and students, will discuss how to teach art online. To post a question, visit the event page. If this talk falls too late for you to tune in live, you can watch afterward on our Google Art Project YouTube channel.
The next talk is from London. On March 20, Caroline Campbell and Arnika Schmidt from the National Gallery will discuss depictions of the female nude. Details are available on the Art Project’s event page. In April we’ll host a panel examining one of the Google Art Project’s popular gigapixel works, Bruegel’s “Tower of Babel,” featuring Peter Parshall, curator at the National Gallery of Art in Washington.
Google Art Project aims to make art more accessible to all. We hope that Art Talks is the next step in bringing art to your armchair, wherever you are in the world, with just a click of a button. Stay tuned to the Art Project and Cultural Institute Google+ pages for more information on dates and times of these online lectures.

Linking Science, Art, and Practice Through Digital Sound
This project's objective is to develop curricular material that explains the science and mathematics of digital sound in a way that makes their relationship to applications clear, using examples from theatre, movies, and music production. This is a collaborative project among computer science, education, and digital sound design professors at a liberal arts university and a performing arts conservatory.
The intention is to engage students' interest in science by linking it more tightly to practice, including artistic applications. The vision is to draw more students to the study of computer science by means of its exciting connections with art and digital media.
Participants will be introduced to the basics of soft circuitry, some basic electronics, Arduino software, programming, and reading a sensor. At the end of the day they will have a functioning interactive sensor, which they can sew onto a garment, bag or cushion cover.
Today is World Art Day and it's around two years since we launched Google Art Project. In honour of this and all our partners, large and small, traditional and modern, let’s take a quick look at how people are interacting with art online.
The Internet brings paintings to life and it seems that The Starry Night by van Gogh is the one that visitors to Art Project admire the most. In the past six months, this was the most viewed painting in gigapixel—an extremely high resolution painting which allows viewers to zoom in to brushstroke level. While nothing beats seeing a painting in real life, the ability to examine a work of art in this level of detail seems to be encouraging viewers to linger. One minute is the average time spent looking at any given painting on the Art Project website, compared to under 20 seconds (according to several studies) in a museum.
The Starry Night is also the most frequently included painting in user galleries, where individuals create and share their own virtual art collections. We have 40,000 works of art on the platform but some remain perennial favourites.
Viewings of user galleries were in fact higher than any individual artist or painting. To date, 360,000 galleries have been created, 14,000 of which are public on the web. To mark World Art Day, we asked some of our partners to curate user galleries of their own. Take a look through the selections of eight museum directors here.
Given the list above, it’s clear the classics remain popular with viewers, but there is increasing interest in modern art as well, with Dali and Klimt featuring among the most searched for artists. The Internet has also allowed users to explore multiple genres in a single destination. More than 30 different mediums co-exist on Art Project with oil on canvas next to over 5,000 objects including silk textiles, sculptures and furniture. There can't be many places where you can find Brazilian street art alongside Botticelli.
Many partners who have contributed an art collection have also opted to put their museums on Street View. On average, visitors spend around two minutes exploring the interior of the buildings and viewing the paintings on display. The most-visited Street View destination on Art Project is The White House. As the majority of us will never get the opportunity to go inside, the Internet allows a rare glimpse into a global institution that also houses an extensive art collection.
With over 200 partners from 43 countries, we continue our quest to open up access to art to millions of professionals, students, beginners and amateur enthusiasts. At 1pm ET today, we’ll be holding the latest in our Art Talks series on our G+ page, which aims to put art lovers in touch with art experts online. Sign up here to hangout with the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York to chat about multimedia in the arts from the comfort of your armchair on World Art Day.
ART & TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM (ATEC) AT UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS, DALLAS Leonardo is pleased to feature Art & Technology program (ATEC) at University of Texas, Dallas as a renewing Leonardo Affiliate Member. Beyond merely a "multidisciplinary" or "interdisciplinary" scope, the Art & Technology program (ATEC) at University of Texas, Dallas encourages the productive convergence of disparate fields and modes of thinking. It joins science with the humanities, creativity with technology, theory with practice, and learning with research. There are no maps showing the way, just students with diverse interests, talents, and a skewed way of looking at the ever-changing world. Students master emerging tools, form unexpected relationships, collaborate, and create the future.
http://theengineinstitute.org/tania-candiani-five-variations-of-pho... Tania Candiani: Five Variations of Phonic Circumstances and a Pause
Tania Candiani’s Cinco Variaciones de Circunstancias Fónicas y Una Pausa (Five Variations of Phonic Circumstances and a Pause). In this show, Candiani exhibits a number of diverse works, yet all of them are built using recent technology. In many cases, the technology was used as a medium to poetically and melancholically recall old but rich, machinery while also exploring sound as well as language.
In May, Artspace will be exhibiting three projects that focus on the experimental use of robotics in a visual arts practice in the lead-up to ISEA2013 in June. Through these works by Sydney-based Petra Gemeinboeck & Rob Saunders, Sydney-based Mari Velonaki and New Zealand-based Simon Ingram, viewers will see the deconstruction of gallery walls, paintings created onsite by a remotely operated machine and a humanoid woman occupying the gallery space. http://www.artspace.org.au/gallery_upcoming.php

http://www.complex.com/sneakers/2013/04/nike-presents-the-art-scien... The Art + Science of Super Natural Motion
The Art and Science of Super Natural Motion is a new interactive experience that is hosted by the Nike Stadium Milano. Cutting-edge digital artists Universal Everything, Daniel Widrig and Davide Quayola and Natari Sinigaglia take the creative innovations of Nike’s Free and Flyknit technology to create an interpretation of the body in motion in a 3D environment.
UK-Based Universal Everything created a 3D interactive cube that allows the viewer to use their body to manipulate a conglomerate of colors. The Art and Science of Fit is what this experience is called, which is shown in the video. The Art of Science and Flex, however has taken an altered approach using the vision of Daniel Widrig and the two collaborators, Quayola + Sinigaglia.
David produced an elaborate animation taking multiple snapshots of a complex geometric object moving through a 3D space; creating movement and flexibility in unexpected ways. And the two collaborators use a time based digital sculpture, combining a mixture of sounds and visuals, to create a display a transformation that continually evolves; just like the body does.
The exhibition is set to travel to Tokyo, London and New York until October 2013 so we can all enjoy this awe-inspiring experience.

miniature helicopter flies around the room, hitting piano keys to play music.
It's a hybrid artwork that was developed by a group of artists and scientists and it's on display now at the Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials, also known as KIMM, in Daejeon.
The institute, a state-run laboratory, uses a mixture of art and technology to further its scientific aims and find other applications for its work, such as when it participated in the restoration of Korea's state seal.
The helicopter piece was created through a six-month artist residency program called Artience, a program where artists and scientists collaborated on projects that used a mixture of science, mechanics and technology.. and art forms such as painting, music and dance.. to create new works of art.

The lab was hosted for the second time in a row by the Bright Futures community program run by Northern Illinois University’s STEM Outreach. The program encourages children’s interest in electronics, said STEM Outreach associate Jeremy Benson.
The lab isn’t completely focused on the science side of electronics. Bart Woodstrup, who teaches electronic art at NIU and oversaw the lab activities, said there is not much difference between what artists and scientists do. This is about teaching students how to build a circuit and then make art with it. The program teaches students how to make video games, video and animation.
Sentient is an original production created by artists in the Studio for Interrelated Media’s Art and Science Immersive Media course. Throughout the spring 2013 semester, students have been exploring topics of scientific inquiry and expressing their curiosities and understandings in visual, auditory, and performative modes. In less than 5 months these students collaborated on all aspects of storytelling, concept development, sound design, dome video production, and public relations to create an immersive environment exploring the creative, perceptive, and unexplored mind.

Introducing Art Talks on Google+
Posted: 04 Mar 2013 08:49 AM PST
An excellent guide often best brings an art gallery or museum’s collections to life. Starting this week, we’re hoping to bring this experience online with “Art Talks,” a series of Hangouts on Air on our Google Art Project Google+ page. Each month, curators, museum directors, historians and educators from some of the world’s most renowned cultural institutions will reveal the hidden stories behind particular works, examine the curation process and provide insights into particular masterpieces or artists.
![]()
The first guided visit will be held this Wednesday, March 6 at 8pm ET from The Museum of Modern Art. Deborah Howes, Director of Digital Learning, along with a panel of artists and students, will discuss how to teach art online. To post a question, visit the event page. If this talk falls too late for you to tune in live, you can watch afterward on our Google Art Project YouTube channel.
The next talk is from London. On March 20, Caroline Campbell and Arnika Schmidt from the National Gallery will discuss depictions of the female nude. Details are available on the Art Project’s event page. In April we’ll host a panel examining one of the Google Art Project’s popular gigapixel works, Bruegel’s “Tower of Babel,” featuring Peter Parshall, curator at the National Gallery of Art in Washington.
Additional talks are planned by curators from high-profile institutions such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, the Museo Nacional de Arte in Mexico and the Museum of Islamic Art in Qatar.
Google Art Project aims to make art more accessible to all. We hope that Art Talks is the next step in bringing art to your armchair, wherever you are in the world, with just a click of a button. Stay tuned to the Art Project and Cultural Institute Google+ pages for more information on dates and times of these online lectures.

Linking Science, Art, and Practice Through Digital Sound
This project's objective is to develop curricular material that explains the science and mathematics of digital sound in a way that makes their relationship to applications clear, using examples from theatre, movies, and music production. This is a collaborative project among computer science, education, and digital sound design professors at a liberal arts university and a performing arts conservatory.
The intention is to engage students' interest in science by linking it more tightly to practice, including artistic applications. The vision is to draw more students to the study of computer science by means of its exciting connections with art and digital media.

Taking a minute to enjoy some art on World Art Day
Posted: 15 Apr 2013 01:35 AM PDT
Today is World Art Day and it's around two years since we launched Google Art Project. In honour of this and all our partners, large and small, traditional and modern, let’s take a quick look at how people are interacting with art online.
The Internet brings paintings to life and it seems that The Starry Night by van Gogh is the one that visitors to Art Project admire the most. In the past six months, this was the most viewed painting in gigapixel—an extremely high resolution painting which allows viewers to zoom in to brushstroke level. While nothing beats seeing a painting in real life, the ability to examine a work of art in this level of detail seems to be encouraging viewers to linger. One minute is the average time spent looking at any given painting on the Art Project website, compared to under 20 seconds (according to several studies) in a museum.
The Starry Night is also the most frequently included painting in user galleries, where individuals create and share their own virtual art collections. We have 40,000 works of art on the platform but some remain perennial favourites.
Apr 16, 2013
Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa
From Google blogs- part 2:
The other most popular inclusions in user galleries (in order) are :
Viewings of user galleries were in fact higher than any individual artist or painting. To date, 360,000 galleries have been created, 14,000 of which are public on the web. To mark World Art Day, we asked some of our partners to curate user galleries of their own. Take a look through the selections of eight museum directors here.
Given the list above, it’s clear the classics remain popular with viewers, but there is increasing interest in modern art as well, with Dali and Klimt featuring among the most searched for artists. The Internet has also allowed users to explore multiple genres in a single destination. More than 30 different mediums co-exist on Art Project with oil on canvas next to over 5,000 objects including silk textiles, sculptures and furniture. There can't be many places where you can find Brazilian street art alongside Botticelli.
Apr 16, 2013
Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa
From Google art project- part 3:
Many partners who have contributed an art collection have also opted to put their museums on Street View. On average, visitors spend around two minutes exploring the interior of the buildings and viewing the paintings on display. The most-visited Street View destination on Art Project is The White House. As the majority of us will never get the opportunity to go inside, the Internet allows a rare glimpse into a global institution that also houses an extensive art collection.
With over 200 partners from 43 countries, we continue our quest to open up access to art to millions of professionals, students, beginners and amateur enthusiasts. At 1pm ET today, we’ll be holding the latest in our Art Talks series on our G+ page, which aims to put art lovers in touch with art experts online. Sign up here to hangout with the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York to chat about multimedia in the arts from the comfort of your armchair on World Art Day.

ART & TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM (ATEC) AT UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS, DALLAS
Leonardo is pleased to feature Art & Technology program (ATEC) at University of Texas, Dallas as a renewing Leonardo Affiliate Member. Beyond merely a "multidisciplinary" or "interdisciplinary" scope, the Art & Technology program (ATEC) at University of Texas, Dallas encourages the productive convergence of disparate fields and modes of thinking. It joins science with the humanities, creativity with technology, theory with practice, and learning with research. There are no maps showing the way, just students with diverse interests, talents, and a skewed way of looking at the ever-changing world. Students master emerging tools, form unexpected relationships, collaborate, and create the future.

The Art + Science of Super Natural Motion
The Art and Science of Super Natural Motion is a new interactive experience that is hosted by the Nike Stadium Milano. Cutting-edge digital artists Universal Everything, Daniel Widrig and Davide Quayola and Natari Sinigaglia take the creative innovations of Nike’s Free and Flyknit technology to create an interpretation of the body in motion in a 3D environment.
UK-Based Universal Everything created a 3D interactive cube that allows the viewer to use their body to manipulate a conglomerate of colors. The Art and Science of Fit is what this experience is called, which is shown in the video. The Art of Science and Flex, however has taken an altered approach using the vision of Daniel Widrig and the two collaborators, Quayola + Sinigaglia.
David produced an elaborate animation taking multiple snapshots of a complex geometric object moving through a 3D space; creating movement and flexibility in unexpected ways. And the two collaborators use a time based digital sculpture, combining a mixture of sounds and visuals, to create a display a transformation that continually evolves; just like the body does.
The exhibition is set to travel to Tokyo, London and New York until October 2013 so we can all enjoy this awe-inspiring experience.

Art and machinery mingle in Daejeon residency program
miniature helicopter flies around the room, hitting piano keys to play music.
It's a hybrid artwork that was developed by a group of artists and scientists and it's on display now at the Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials, also known as KIMM, in Daejeon.
The institute, a state-run laboratory, uses a mixture of art and technology to further its scientific aims and find other applications for its work, such as when it participated in the restoration of Korea's state seal.
The helicopter piece was created through a six-month artist residency program called Artience, a program where artists and scientists collaborated on projects that used a mixture of science, mechanics and technology.. and art forms such as painting, music and dance.. to create new works of art.

Workshop at Northern Illinois University melds art, electronics
Art met science and fun Saturday at the Electric Art Lab.
The lab was hosted for the second time in a row by the Bright Futures community program run by Northern Illinois University’s STEM Outreach. The program encourages children’s interest in electronics, said STEM Outreach associate Jeremy Benson.
The lab isn’t completely focused on the science side of electronics. Bart Woodstrup, who teaches electronic art at NIU and oversaw the lab activities, said there is not much difference between what artists and scientists do.
This is about teaching students how to build a circuit and then make art with it. The program teaches students how to make video games, video and animation.
