The art of science to be on display in Santa Fe
Art and science meet this month in Santa Fe, when the annual “Art of Systems Biology and Nanoscience" show gets underway for the fifth year. The two-day public event celebrates new ideas and images from the emerging fields of systems biology and nanoscience, disciplines that can produce – with the help of modern microscopy – stunningly beautiful images that scientists and artists say reveal the beauty of life at a molecular level.

BioArt in the Industrial Wasteland
"Bioart in An Industrial Wasteland," funded by the National Endowment of the Arts, served as a visual metaphor for refiguring abandoned post-industrial sites. The project was situated in a neglected block of post-industrial upstate New York. In a neighborhood that has seen an exceptional shift in community engagement through arts, the series directly engaged citizens in an exploration that links art, science and technology to develop do-it-yourself ecological ingenuity and collaboration.

"Bio-art” is a contemporary art form that draws on the natural sciences by working with living systems, biological techniques and materials. Workshops helped build public art installations, helped the community think creatively about ‘curing’ their local ecologies, and asked ethical questions involving environmental health and future developments in such areas as DNA imaging and synthetic biology.

This project aimed to build ties between city dwellers and the environment surrounding them in a series of artist presentations and community workshops that will lay the foundation of an urban nature center in North Troy, NY.

Exhibit displays science inherent in art
Though the word "art" has been shoehorned into the education acronym for science, technology, engineering and mathematics to make "STEAM," when it comes to college admissions, there is no standardized measure for creativity. Though part of the mystique of the iPhones we stroke and pinch all day comes from Steve Jobs' legendary passion for calligraphy, our culture isn't really serious about the value of art, design or science, for that matter.

What makes "Inquiring Finds: The Science Behind the Art" significant is its doubly defiant stance. The show is not trying to emulate the hands-on science-meets-art atmosphere of an institution like San Francisco's Exploratorium. It is also not trying to simplify the art-making process.

Abstract art: the nexus between science and creativity

VSAC 2014 Over the last few decades there has been a growing interest in studying interactions between art and vision. An increasing number of publications (articles, books, special issues) and meetings (workshops, symposia) have encouraged researchers, scholars and students to gather together in a unitary community that can cooperate, discuss and develop new scientific perspectives in this complex and intriguing new field. The Visual Science of Art Conference (VSAC) emerged as a natural consequence of the development and maturation of this community. It was initiated as a biannual, worldwide academic conference by Baingio Pinna in 2012 with the aim of contributing to the scientific study of interactions between vision science and art. The first VSAC was a satellite meeting to the 36th European Conference on Visual Perception (ECVP) held in Sardinia, Italy. VSAC welcomes all kinds of work and approaches, from phenomenological to biological and computational, exploring the link between the science of perception and the visual arts. It also includes studies that might suggest new ideas and new findings useful for the experimental foundation of a Visual Science of Art. Specifically, VSAC is aimed at a deeper understanding of vision, art, and their relationship based on the observation that both visual science and visual arts (i) explore visual perception through its main properties - color, spatial vision, shape, visual organization, depth and motion; (ii) analyze and create a large variety of phenomena that involve a range of objects, from the simplest possible to the most complex that involve integration across different sensory modalities; and (iii) answer different but related questions about how and why we see the way we do.

Researcher Combines Art, Science in Cancer Spread Study
https://news.azpm.org/p/local-news/2014/3/25/31403-researcher-combi...
UA assistant professor of cellular and molecular medicine, Ghassan Mouneimne, Ph.D., uses microscopes and Photoshop to create startling - and even beautiful to some - images of cancer cells.

His work is not meant to beautify cancer, but rather to provide a different perspective.

Mouneimne uses various microscopy techniques to take movies and pictures of cells.

"But, of course, this is within the context of the science," Mouneimne said. "So we are not, like, manipulating the images to make them look different from the actual data."

The Art of Science
Meet Anna Dimitriu. An artist who, quite simply, likes to turn bacteria into art. Known as the founder and director of the ‘The Institute of Unnecessary Research’, this group is a collaboration between artists and scientists who work to cross boundaries between art and science. She is also an artist in residence on the UK Clinical Research Consortium’s Modernising Medical Microbiology project. Winner of the 2012 Society for Applied Microbiology Communication Award, Anna represents an emerging trend of partnerships between artists and scientists that have the potential to engage more people in science from an entirely different angle.

Art and science: Opposites attract

To many, science and art are the classic examples of never-the-twain-shall-meet.
During the Industrial Revolution of the 19th and 20th centuries, a need for specialization temporarily pulled apart science and art. ( why, may I ask? -K)

Kostyniuk draws creativity from science

When most people think about science, they envision numbers, equations, chemicals and combustions.

It’s tough to believe these items could inspire art, but Ron Kostyniuk draws his creativity from the methodology and logic of scientific thinking.

The Saskatchewan-born sculptor has always been interested in natural processes, including the problems of shape and colour, and their relations in space and light.

“A scientist has a theory, I have a visualization,” he explained. “You have an idea that this is going to happen, so you test it out.”

Life, in Theory
The 8th Meeting of the European Society for Literature, Science, and the Arts June 3-6, 2014 Turin, Italy The VIII European Meeting of the Society for the Study of Literature, Science, and the Arts aims to continue the conversation between science and the humanities on the implications for our projected futures of the manipulation, administration, and governance of life forms. The concept of life today no longer provides sufficient ontological ground to distinguish among different forms of life and to guide ethical, political, legal, or medical actions. Thus, a discussion across disciplinary forms of knowledge and theories of life, and the practices they authorize, is literally to confront issues of life and death. SymbioticA's Academic coordindator Ionat Zurr will be speaking at this year's meeting.

Science becomes art at festival

The Edinburgh International Science Festival is in town and its artistic arm - for it has recently sprouted one - is to be found at Summerhall, the art complex housed, appropriately in this context, in the building that used to be Edinburgh University's Royal Dick Veterinary School.

"We've had a few Science Festival events here before," says Summerhall curator, artist and, incidentally, former scientist Paul Robertson, "but this year we've effectively become the second arm of the Festival after the City Art Centre."

Student brings extinct plants to life with drawings
Jeff Benca is an admitted über-geek when it comes to prehistoric plants, so it was no surprise that, when he submitted a paper describing a new species of long-extinct lycopod for publication, he ditched the standard line drawing and insisted on a detailed and beautifully rendered color reconstruction of the plant. This piece earned the cover of March's centennial issue of the American Journal of Botany. Benca described this 400-million-year-old fossil lycopod, Leclercqia scolopendra, and created a life-like computer rendering. The stem of the lycopod is about 2.5 millimeters across.
Benca's realistic, full-color image could be a life portrait, except for the fact that it was drawn from a plant that lay flattened and compressed into rock for more than 375 million years.

Artists and scientists combine to revive old ways
Two years ago soil sciences professor Ken Vas Rees and art professor Allyson Glenn began combining art and soil science classes to revive the practice of home-made paint.
Using a variety of soils and minerals, like antlers and seashells, Van Rees and Glenn have helped reintroduce paint making to the current generation of artists.
Most of the ingredients are found within Saskatchewan, like soil samples taken from Meadow Lake that are used to create various shades of red. Although the ingredients are readily available, the process of turning them into pigments useful for painting is a little more difficult.
Each ingredient needs to be prepared in different ways, although all are eventually ground down to a fine powder with a mortar and pestle. The ingredients are ground down even further afterwards, and some of them even need to be burned beforehand.
