ScienceROCKS at the Ontario Science Centre with The Science of Rock 'N' Roll

Rockin' new exhibition showcases how science and technology have revolutionized music

The Science of Rock 'N' Roll drops at the Ontario Science Centre on June 11, 2014. This rockin' exhibition, which makes its Canadian debut in Toronto, explores how advances in science and technology have revolutionized music -- and how we make, listen, experience and share it. This summer, the Ontario Science Centre invites visitors to rock out and explore the convergence of art and science in music.

"Music is a fusion of art and science, and technology is constantly changing how we access and experience it," said Lesley Lewis, CEO, Ontario Science Centre. "Science is everywhere. It is found in unexpected places, and people may be surprised to learn just how much science and technology have impacted and influenced the evolution of rock 'n' roll. This exhibition will allow visitors to experience the music they know and love through a scientific lens."
"The story of rock is usually told in terms of artists, songs, albums and events. The Science of Rock 'N' Roll is different; it shows how rock 'n' roll is the direct result of the collision of art, science and technology," said Alan Cross, Toronto radio personality and the exhibition's content developer. "Rock's evolution is almost completely dependent upon advances in science and technology. Visitors to the exhibition will learn how and – most importantly – why the relationship between art and science works."
The Science of Rock 'N' Roll exhibition features eight areas that comprise different interactive components, historical artifacts, informational walls, documentary videos and more.

The Art of Rock sets the stage about the incalculable impact of rock 'n' roll as an instigator and vehicle of social, political, and cultural change. It's about originality, self-expression and freedom of speech. But it's also about cars, groupies and having a good time on a Friday night; and it's the result of art and science intersecting in music. Rock would not exist in the form it does today without advances in science and technology.

Decades of Rock showcases the history and evolution of rock from the 1950s to the present day using artifacts, photos and informational panels.

Rock Composed features interactive displays that demonstrate how tone, pitch, key, rhythm, tempo, timbre, melody, hook, harmony and contour all come in to play when composing rock music.

The Tools of Rock lets visitors summon their inner rock star in five different interactive areas where they will learn about the history and the science behind how instruments work – guitars, keyboards, drums and amplifiers.

Sound of Rock demonstrates how the sounds of rock are produced and how we perceive them. Visitors will learn how their brains are affected by rock music. They will discover the differences between mono versus all the various flavours of stereo and create their own riff on a 'Reactable,'an interactive music-making table.

Recorded Music teaches visitors how recording studio technology affected the evolution of music. This area includes fascinating stories behind how music has been captured over the last 140 years, all told using video blog stations, slide shows, artifacts and a working recording booth.

Careers in Rock highlights the numerous careers that are available in the music industry both on- and off-stage using informational panels and interactive displays.

Concert Experience immerses visitors into a virtual setting of a live concert using a twenty-foot video wall, light show and crowd effects. It's the ultimate finale to The Science of Rock 'N' Roll.

The Science of Rock 'N' Roll opens on June 11, 2014 and runs until October 26, 2014 at the Ontario Science Centre.

From Mars to the stage: JPL Choir explores math and music
Some of the greatest minds in science work at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory near Pasadena. This weekend a group of them will turn their attention from exploring space to exploring their artsy side.

The JPL Choir will perform a free concert at the Pasadena Symphony's Ambassador Auditorium Saturday night.

The choir is made up of about 50 staff members, many of them scientists and engineers. It formed about two and a half years ago. The group meets once a week to focus on heavenly voices instead of heavenly bodies.

How To Make Anthill Art With Molten Aluminum
The method is fairly simple (as you can see in the video below). You just melt some aluminum in a bucket, identify an anthill, and pour the liquid metal into the spout. In the description of the video on YouTube, the guy more or less says he doesn't mind roasting hundreds of red imported fire ants alive. He says they "are harmful to the environment and their nests are exterminated by the millions in the United States using poisons, gasoline and fire, boiling water, and very rarely molten aluminum."

It's interesting to see the difference between fire ant nests, which are elaborate and dense with tunnels, and carpenter ant nests, which are more simplistic and linear. Once the molten aluminum has seeped through the nest, you dig it out with a shovel and hose away the excess dirt.

One Artist Wants To Erase Your DNA !
You may not have thought of your DNA as a hot commodity, but as the future continues to look more and more like a dystopian science fiction film, we recommend you wise up. Artist Heather Dewey-Hagborg, director of BioGenFutures, is here to help. The art-meets-science provocateur has crafted a product designed to eliminate those pesky traces of your DNA you left behind, assuring you of your genetic privacy.

Whether you're shedding hairs, spitting out little bits of fingernail or wiping off a hint of saliva, you could be leaving behind valuable information about your identity that shouldn't be shared with the untrustworthy masses. With a little spray of "Invisible," you can eliminate 99.5% of your genetic info and obfuscate the remaining 0.5%, leaving you virtually anonymous. Thus you'll eliminate your odds of being tracked, analyzed or cloned -- all possibilities that seem more likely every day
http://biogenfutur.es/
Dewey-Haborg provides a handy list of uses for her tech-savvy product, straddling the line between humor and seriousness so dexterously we don't know what to think. Potential uses for "Invisible" include: "Spend the night somewhere you shouldn't have? Erase your mistake and be invisible" or "Dinner with the prospective in-laws going smoothly? Don't let them judge you based on your DNA, be invisible."

This isn't the artist's first time fusing science and art in ways that make us unable to sleep at night. A previous endeavor involved using found DNA to create lifelike portraits of the strangers they belonged to. If nothing else, we'd like to buy "Invisible" to protect ourselves from Dewey-Haborg.

Art meets science: Grant program seeks biodiversity art
The University of Wyoming Biodiversity Institute is bringing science and art together with a grant program now in its second year.

The Biodiversity Art Grant Program offers money for projects that combine biodiversity science and creative arts. Grants are available for UW students, faculty, academic professionals and staff.

“The goal is to communicate science to a really broad audience,” said Dorothy Tuthill, associate director of the Biodiversity Institute.

Proposals for the second round of funding are due May 30, with artists then having a year to complete their project. Artists are required to give a public presentation of their work.

NASA Talk Examines How Leonardo da Vinci Invented the Future

On Tuesday, May 13,2014, at NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, Bulent Atalay -- artist, author and scientist -- has presented "Leonardo and the Intersection of Art and Science" at 2 p.m. in the Reid Conference Center.
Atalay has discussed how the creator of some of the most famous works in the history of art was only a part-time artist. It was his full-time curiosity to understand the world that drove him to study nature, make careful observations, seek mathematical proofs and record all his findings

That same evening at 7:30, Atalay has presented a similar program for the general public at the Virginia Air & Space Center in downtown Hampton.

A creator who approached science through art and art through science, Atalay's lecture will look at Leonardo's grand achievements and his status as a visionary. Some of his discoveries preceded achievements associated with Galileo, Newton and Darwin.

He even prefigured entire sciences not to be formally invented for centuries. Leonardo created paintings that showed knowledge of aerodynamics, optics, geology, hydrology, physics and mathematics, and mechanical drawings for futuristic technology.

Described by National Public Radio, the Washington Post, and the National Geographic Society as a 21st Century Renaissance Man, Atalay is a professor emeritus of physics at the University of Mary Washington, adjunct professor at the University of Virginia, and a member of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton

He is the author of "Math and the Mona Lisa," available in 14 languages, and "Leonardo's Universe."

Dalí exhibit explores use of math in mind-bending artwork
A joint exhibit scheduled to open in June at the Salvador Dalí Museum and at MOSI in Tampa will offer a vivid exploration of one of the more intriguing aspects of the surrealist’s work.

“Marvels of Illusion” is a multimedia collaboration between the Dalí Museum and the Museum of Science and Industry. It explores Dali’s use of geometry and other quantitative disciplines in the development of mind-bending imagery in his work, and through that it aims to draw direct connections between art and science.

Parts of the exhibit will be on display at both museums beginning on June 14.

“Art and science are considered two different disciplines, but Dalí merged the two in fascinating ways,” said Hank Hine, executive director of the Dalí Museum. “We’re doing the same by inviting guests to an art museum to experience science, and to a science museum to experience art.”

The exhibit’s centerpiece is interactive. It allows visitors to see their image projected against “Gala Contemplating the Mediterranean Sea Which at Twenty Meters Becomes the Portrait of Abraham Lincoln (Homage to Rothko).”

Also to be included is a work by 16th Century illusionist artist, Giuseppe Arcimboldo, which is on loan from the Ringling Museum. Arcimboldo’s work consists largely of portraits of people with features made from things like fruit or fish.

“Marvels of Illusion” is on display at the Dali between exhibitions of the work of two internationally-known artists. A collection of about 100 of pop artist Andy Warhol’s works remains on display through early June.

In November, an assortment of Pablo Picasso pieces will occupy the museum’s walls.

From SymbioticA:
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. Ionat Zurr will be speaking at this year's meeting.

FROM SymbioticA:
Nerves in Patterns on a Screen
Devon Ward
Opening Friday 11 July 2014 6:00pm
Paper Mountain Gallery, Perth Western Australia

Nerves in Patterns on a Screen is a speculative exhibition by Devon Ward that investigates the levels of care and control that humans maintain over microscopic life in order to generate knowledge. Traditionally a hierarchical order is maintained during laboratory experiments, whereby someone observes and something is observed. This project explores how biological technologies that digitally record the activities of life can be reframed as a means of destabilizing this order. Instead of extending of our perceptual boundaries, the limits of the observational tools are shown.

Living neural tissue is employed as both medium and agent in this project. Digital animations are choreographed and corrupted by the electrical signals of neurons as our technological gaze is disrupted by the agency of life. A collection of chapbooks accompanies the digital, featuring typographic collages and biodigital poetries that cut up the rules of language. These works ruminate on the imposition of symbolism on both digital and biological life, creating a biosemiotic exchange in which an electrical impulses are imbued with meaning.

Nerves in Patterns on a Screen is the culmination of Devon’s research while pursuing a Master of Biological Art with SymbioticA at the University of Western Australia. During this research, he engaged with scientific laboratory practices, drawing inspiration from the unpredictable and sometimes chaotic experiences when working with wet biology. The outcome, Nerves in Patterns on a Screen, explores the digitization of life processes and the materiality of the digital.

The Anthroposcene Workshop
Artists and Writers in Critical Dialogue with Nature and Ecosystems June 17-18 2014 Humanities Research Centre, Australian National University An in-studio conversation with artists and writers who attend to changes in the environment in their work.
This workshop considers perceptions, values and representations of human relationships with natural systems. The sessions will involve looking, listening, walking and talking with colleagues, and everyone presenting an example of their artwork or writing that imagines new relationships with nature, landscapes, seascapes and ecosystems, or creative response to biodiversity loss and climate change. We expect a mix of tradition and experimentation, new media and old media, narrative, lyricism and poetry.
We assemble to consider how the arts reset perception with experiences that challenge values; with potential to reconfigure feelings of moral responsibility for the environment. We will consider the import and difference between sympathetic and empathic approaches to non-human relationships. Closing with discussion about how the arts contribute to a cultural discourse about aesthetic virtues and the evolution of freedom.

Environmental Humanities Conference: Affective Habitus: New Environmental Histories of Botany, Zoology and Emotions
Dates: 19-21 June 2014
Humanities Research Centre, Australian National University, Canberra The Fifth Biennial Conference of The Association for the Study of Literature, Environment and Culture, Australia and New Zealand (ASLEC-ANZ) – and an Environmental Humanities collaboratory with the ARC Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions, and Minding Animals International. Perceptions, values and representations of our relationship with the physical environment have been read anew in the Anthropocene century through the lens of ecocriticism and affect theory. At present we are witnessing a turn in ecocritical theory to the relevance of empathy, sympathy and concordance, and how these move across flora and fauna; yet ecocriticism has not thoroughly considered whether human and non-human affect are reducible to a theory of the emotions. This conference seeks to refine the turn while articulating the contemporary expansion of the analysis of the humanities.

Visualizing science :
Australia has unveiled a state of the art research visualization facility that helps accelerate scientific discoveries.
New Horizons Center headquartered at Monash University, CAVE2 is an immersive 2D and 3D virtual reality center that aims to power research in a variety of areas such as engineering, science and medicine.
According to the facility’s official webpage, the 84 million pixel CAVE2 is a highly immersive environment comprising a suite of multimedia and 3D technologies. It also enables the interactive exploration of data from sources including the synchrotron, electron microscopes, medical imaging instruments and a variety of simulations.

Completed last year, the facility has already played a part in research, having assisted new research into the reasons based on which people are predisposed to Huntington’s disease.

“New tools such as CAVE2 that give researcher another way of interpreting their data could add substantial value in some fields,” said Professor Ian Chubb, Chief Scientist of Australia, who officially opened the facility.

Uptown Players Presents Premiere of ART AND SCIENCE, 5/30 - 6/15
Uptown Players is thrilled to announce the premiere of Art and Science, written by James Wesley. This production runs May 30 through June 15, 2014, in Frank's Place at the Kalita Humphreys Theater.

In Art and Science, Adam visits his former elderly voice teacher, Robert, to discover he's had a stroke and is partially paralyzed. In spite of Adam's urging, Robert refuses to go to the hospital and seek medical attention because he's a Christian Scientist. Reluctantly, Adam feels he has no choice but to stay and try to help Robert, who is feeling more and more effects from the stroke. As the play unfolds, they both learn about and address their long-held resentments towards each other and struggle to find acceptance. At times quite funny and ultimately moving, Art and Science is based on a real-life event that happened between the playwright and his elderly voice teacher.

The cast features David Benn and Christopher Cassarino, and is under the direction of New York Director Jason St Little.

This limited run production takes place from May 30 through June 15 in Frank's Place, upstairs at the Kalita Humphreys Theater, with performances on Friday and Saturday at 7:45 p.m. and Sunday at 2:30 p.m.

Art Science Gallery creates its own niche
Hayley Gillespie opened Art Science Gallery in East Austin to showcase fine art with scientific themes. Gillespie is an artist and has a doctorate in biology.
In the few short months it’s been open, the gallery has celebrated the images capture by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, staged the collaborative “Darwin Day Portrait Project,” hosted an exhibit of the international “Periodic Table of the Elements Printmaking Project” and offered a printmaking demonstration by Inked Animal, the artistic collaboration of fish biologists Adam Cohen and Ben Labay who have expanded traditional Japanese Gyotaku printmaking with fish.

With a doctorate in ecology and animal behavior from the University of Texas — her dissertation was on the endangered Barton Springs salamander — Gillespie, 33, didn’t follow the usual route to art gallery stewardship. And she doesn’t harbor the usual notions of the difference between art and science.

Stephen H. Blackwell, a University of Tennessee, Knoxville, professor of Russian, won the 2013 prize for the Best Scholarly Contribution in the area of Nabokov Studies with his 2009 book “The Quill and the Scalpel: Nabokov’s Art and the Worlds of Science.” He received the award from the Nabokov Online Journal during a ceremony at the Shakespeare and Company bookstore in Paris, France, in April.

Blackwell’s book explores how art and science can interact to promote the advancement of human knowledge and understanding through a detailed exploration of Vladimir Nabokov’s fiction and scientific articles. Nabokov wrote extensively on the taxonomy of butterflies and organized the butterfly collection of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University. “The Quill and the Scalpel” demonstrates how Nabokov’s varied scientific interests shaped his novels and how his literary work enriched his science.
