    "We think of artists as creative thinkers, but the best scientists are also creative thinkers". "It's very exciting for creative thinkers working in difference disciplines to get together and share ideas."
    The 2014 Pulitzer Prize Winner in music, John Luther Adams, was at Michigan Technological University Tuesday speaking with faculty and students on the subject of how the separate disciplines of art and science can be brought together.

    Adams just found out he won the Pulitzer Prize in music Tuesday morning for his composition, 'Become Ocean.' Adams says he has spent a great deal of time working with scientific disciplines such as earth sciences for his music.

    He says art and science are two sides of the same coin and that both embody creative thought. Adams added that at technological universities, such as Michigan Tech, the idea of melding art with science is a unique discussion.

    Western cultures consider being extroverted as a desirable quality associated with happiness, but what about other cultures that tend to prize close-knit relationships and group dynamics?

    According to a new large international study published in the Journal of Research in Personality, acting outgoing and outwardly happy makes a person feel happy – regardless of culture.

    “We are not the first to show that being more extroverted in daily behavior can lead to more positive moods. However, we are probably the first to extend this finding to a variety of cultures,” said study author Timothy Church, professor of counseling psychology and associate dean of research in the College of Education at Washington State University, in a recent statement.

    The new study was partly inspired by a 2012 study that showed American introverts experience greater levels of happiness when they smile at a stranger, reach out to an old friend or engage in other extroverted behaviors.

    oin us at Art.Science.Gallery. for a talk from Geochemist Kathy Ellins as part of our Geo_____ exhibition.

    How does geoscience use art? Ellins says that geoscientists routinely embrace visual representation to convey information that cannot be appreciated by language or symbols alone. Art can enlighten the implications of research results, and place science in a broader context - opening up science’s significance to not only professional audiences, but also students, and the general public.

    Kathy Ellins is a program manager at UTIG where she specializes in Geoscience Education. She has a Bachelor's degree in Geology from Skidmore College, a Masters in Science Education from New York University and a Ph.D. from Columbia University (LDEO).

    Interpreting Old Bones: Art and Science Give New Meaning to Remains Found on New Haven Green

    On Wednesday, April 30, 2014, from 5 to 8 p.m., the New Haven Museum will host an opening reception for an exhibition pairing powerful interpretive art created by seven well-known Connecticut artists with scientific analysis by noted bioarchaeologists in "Nothing is Set in Stone: The Lincoln Oak and the New Haven Green," an informative and revelatory tribute to the historic Lincoln Oak on the New Haven Green. In October 2012, winds from Hurricane Sandy toppled the mighty oak--planted in 1909 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Lincoln's birth--revealing human skeletal remains in the tree's exposed roots and creating an enigmatic story that captured the imagination of the entire country. The opening reception is free of charge. The exhibition runs through November 2, 2014.

    For the artistic portion of "Nothing is Set in Stone: The Lincoln Oak and the New Haven Green," area artists were invited to use branches, limbs, or pieces of the trunk of the Lincoln Oak to interpret the history of the tree and the discovery of the skeletal remains beneath it. The exhibit includes two works by noted Hamden sculptor, Susan Clinard, who says of her Lincoln Oak sculpture, Of the Same Branch; Portraits of the Civil War, 2014.

    A new exhibit at the Joseph Slifka Center for Jewish Life at Yale aims to explore the inner beauty of a woman.

    “Only in a Woman” features approximately 20 enlarged microscopic images of tissues found only in the female body. The images have been edited by Harvey Kliman, M.D., Ph.D., who works in the Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences Department at the Yale School of Medicine. The exhibit, which opened in the center’s Sylvia Slifka Chapel on Tuesday, includes images from the uterus and placenta, explained Lucy Partman ’14, the Slifka Arts Curator.

    “Sometimes the images are so captivating that they become something other than the scientific data,” Partman said. “And that’s where the art comes in.”

    The Green Street Arts Center welcomes a new artist for May to exhibit her work in art and science.

    Windsor painter Catherine Doocy will open her show, Transitions, on May 1 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the center, focusing on landscapes and the science of memory.

    “We have the theme of art and science,” Sandra Guze, program and education coordination at the Wesleyan University-run Green Street, said. “We’re always looking for artists with some sort of connection and she is one that’s interested in biology and the natural world.”

    Guze said that Doocy, who is a Wesleyan University Graduate Liberal Studies alumn, puts literal spaces in her work to show how the brain fills in the gap.

    “You’ll finish the tree branch,” Guze said. “She’s a person who’s interested in memory and how the brain works.”

    According to Doocy’s artist’s statement, the transitions are gradual like the seasonal shifts of colors while some are abrupt and dramatic such as storm clouds and thunderstorms.

    Genetic Ink, Launches DNA Art Platform; Builds on Advances in Biotechnology

    New York startup Genetic Ink is launching its first DNA Art collaboration, Spark, today. With recent advances in biotechnology driving the cost of genetic sequencing down, Genetic Ink has developed a technology that is able to combine any human, cat, or dog DNA sequence with an artist's concept. The result is a 100% unique piece of art for each subject. The company aims to become a platform for top artists and designers to express themselves with DNA sequence data, and to make that art available to the public.

    The concept of art from DNA first came to public attention, when renowned American artist Dennis Ashbaugh began painting "genetic portraits" in 1985. The oversized canvases were created in the tradition of Pollack and Mondrian, but closely followed the aesthetic of then-new DNA electrophoresis gels. These gels allowed for nominal visual representation of the DNA, but did not actually depict the DNA sequence.

    We take it for granted that our lives, and our beliefs, are intrinsically different from cultures of the past. They built pyramids and temples, we play on Facebook and build virtual lives.

    A new study from the University of Cincinnati, however, shows that the ancient Maya might just have been big fans of Facebook. They believed that material objects, like a courtier’s mirror or a sculptor’s carving tool, could be imbued with part of the owner’s identity. They considered such objects to be alive, naming them, talking to them, and taking them to special events.

    UC’s assistant professor Sarah Jackson claims that such behavior isn’t much different than today’s selfie-snapping culture where a Facebook profile can become as important to a person’s identity as his or her real-world interactions. Jackson presented her findings on the interesting parallels between ancient Maya and modern-day views on materiality at the Society for American Archaeology’s (SAA) annual meeting on Friday.

    An exploration of chemical elements, in the current Columbia Art League exhibition, Elemental, seems a rich playground for artists' imaginations — and not just because the periodic table, in its current form more or less, was conceived in a dream. Everything is made of these basic building blocks. Everything can be mapped out on the chart according to specific atomic properties, including us. It's elementary.

    The Cambridge Science Festival (CSF) is an annual spectacle of more than 150 science-related events and activities taking place in and around Cambridge, Mass. during the month of April. This year, CSF organizers asked local artists, scientists, and science communicators to join forces for a STEAM project portraying “central elements” of science in an artistic light. Participating as a science writer who also dabbles in artistic projects, I teamed up with computer scientist and crafter Gillian Smith. Our common interest in women’s history made it easy to select a project that would highlight and commemorate women who contributed significantly to the discovery of elements of the periodic table. Our canvas would be cotton – colorful and queen sized.

    Speaker calls for art-science merger
    Art and science are two halves of human creativity, and yet those involved in one often disparage the other.

    Daryl Dominique wants to see an end to that and looks forward to the day that more artists and scientists collaborate on projects in Sudbury, turning the city into the epitome of "innovation on the rocks."

    Dominique, 21, a mechanical engineering student and hobby musician, was one of several speakers at Saturday's TEDx Nickel City, the theme of which was Think in 3D.

    Dominique, who's chief executive officer of a small start-up company called CMD Protyping, said bringing the arts and sciences together, instead of seeing them as opposed, could be beneficial to society.

    The world is begging for new ideas, new innovations and new discoveries to solve a multitude of problems, Dominique told an audience of about 150 people in the Cavern at Science North.

    Those solutions will come through a collaboration of science and the arts, he believes.
    http://www.thesudburystar.com/2014/04/27/speaker-calls-for-art-scie...

    After his lecture, he said Sudbury's science centre is a perfect example of that marriage of arts and science. Its world-class science exhibits and demonstrations are presented to visitors in an artistic fashion.

    Dominique also referenced one of his favourite historical figures – Leonardo da Vinci – as being one of the world's greatest artists, having painted the Mona Lisa and Last Supper. But he was also a great scientist for the Vitruvian Man drawing (illustrating the ideal man's proportions) and flying machines that would never be developed in his lifetime.

    Performance to mix biology, music
    The processes of microbial evolution, for many, would not inspire art. Yet this is precisely what composer Fay Kueen Wang used to create “STEM Arts: Music and Biology,” a composition she will perform tonight in the Oopik Auditorium in the Class of 1978 Life Sciences Center.

    Commissioned by the Hopkins Center with a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Wang has composed a piece bridging the oft-persistent gap between science and the arts. The grant also funded last year’s commissioning of an opera about inventor Nikola Tesla in conjunction with the Thayer School of Engineering.

    Last April, shortly after the success of the Tesla project, Hop programming director Margaret Lawrence reached out to biology professor and department chair Elizabeth Smith about collaborating, Smith said. Over the summer, Lawrence identified Wang as someone who could carry out this collaborative project.

    Broad Vision: Future Human

    Creative and critical speculations on how we might sustain, adapt and evolve, as biology, technology and culture become increasingly intertwined
    Private View: Thursday 5 June, 6-9pm
    Exhibition continues until 28 June 2014

Integrating art and science, Future Human plays with the possible, the probable and the implausible through a collection of interdisciplinary artworks, experiments and speculative designs. The exhibition invites you to imagine a future where humans have evolved to survive a dark earth; where disabilities are seen as abilities; where we create energy rather than consume it; and where the city is beyond recognition. All accompanied by an interdisciplinary events programme of workshops and talks.

    An artist who loved science - and her show of 'sci-art':
    A new retrospective of work by June Wayne is opening at the Pasadena Museum of California Art, and science lovers will want to check it out.

    Wayne was an artist who counted rocket scientists at Caltech and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory among her close friends and who frequently referenced scientific research in her work.

    Among the 79 lithographs, tapestries and paintings included in the show are pieces inspired by solar flares, genetics, tsunamis, earthquakes and the cosmos.
