Space-themed project on display at Stark Gallery

By using technology that is employed in everything from special effects in major films to preschool science experiments, Cassandra Hanks created "Alien Landscapes," her art exhibit that opened at the Stark Gallery on 18th, July, 2014.

"It's a crossroads of science, technology and art," said Hanks, a College Station native. "While everyone else is using the newest thing in technology, I wanted to go more old school with the technology."

Discussing science-art connection
A group of panelists, including two Black Hills State University professors, will engage in a discussion on the connection of art and science, a theme that has also been the subject of a statewide traveling art exhibit. The discussion is Wednesday, July 30 at 5:30 p.m. at the Dahl Arts Center in Rapid City and will be held in conjunction with the exhibit’s month-long stop at the Dahl.

The exhibit titled “Into the Dark: Artists Exploring Dark Matter” began in Lead last summer and features 22 prominent South Dakota artists’ unique interpretations of dark matter, one of nature’s most profound mysteries and something that has yet to be seen or felt. The two-part exhibit also features a photographic exploration of the conversion of the former Homestake Gold Mine into a world leading underground research facility. The photo exhibit includes images taken by Steve Babbitt, professor of photography at BHSU, and Matt Kapust, BHSU alum and multimedia specialist at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. The exhibit runs from July 25 – August 30.

Parkinson's Could Enhance Creativity
People with Parkinson's disease may have higher levels of creativity than their healthy peers, a new study finds.

Researchers compared the creativity levels of 27 Parkinson's patients with 27 healthy people of the same education level and age. Participants were asked to interpret abstract pictures, answer questions aimed at provoking imagination (such as, "What can you do with sandals?") and explain imaginative metaphors such as a "scarf of fog."

The researchers found Parkinson's patients understood more of the pictures, brainstormed more metaphors with symbolic meaning rather than literal meaning and drew a larger number of interpretations from abstract images, compared with the people without Parkinson's.

Art, science and social responsibility in 1960s Britain
The relationships between art, science and society in the 1960s will be examined by Kettle’s Yard this Saturday.

His two lectures in Cambridge in 1960 and 1965 were seen as landmarks in cultural history.
- Bronac Ferran

Its ‘WHITE HEAT’ symposium will see key figures from the decade join speakers from the fields of art and cultural history, the history and philosophy of science, activism and popular culture to revisit one of the most intense periods of intellectual and cultural ferment.

The event takes place in the very Department of Engineering lecture theatre where Gustav Metzger gave his iconic 1965 lecture/demonstration ‘The Chemical Revolution in Art’.

In the lecture, Metzger discussed his ideas about movement, time and transformation in art and demonstrated for the first time Liquid Crystals. Following the symposium there will be an evening opening of current exhibition LIFT OFF! at Kettle’s Yard, including his landmark piece Liquid Crystal Environment.

Science meets art in Kelsey Brookes’ psychedelic paintings
'Sleep: The Science and the Mystery' comes to the Library Street Collective
By his early 20s, Kelsey Brookes was already on track for a career in science. Originally hailing from the suburbs of Denver, Brookes studied microbiology in college and landed a fellowship at the Center for Disease Control, tasked with the glamorous job of testing dead birds for the West Nile virus. Then he became a self taught artist by leaving his job.
Lately, Brookes creates his psychedelic paintings using brightly colored acrylic paint. The paintings may look like the work of an artistic free spirit, but they actually hark back to his days as a scientist.

“I started painting molecules,” he says. “If you think of a constellation, like Orion, it’s made up of a group of probably 10 different stars. If Orion was a molecule, and you shrunk it down tiny, each one of the stars in the molecule would be an atom.” Brookes was inspired by the molecular line drawings he used to use in the lab.

“I was doing these abstract paintings. I realized, I could represent, like, LSD, but I could do it in a really colorful pattern,” Brookes says. “It would not only be a map of the exact molecular formula for LSD, but it would also use the colors that popular culture has fleshed out for the hallucinogenic experience.”

For his latest show (and Detroit debut), Brookes sought inspiration in sleep: “What the neurotransmitters are that help regulate sleep, and make sleep happen — that all goes back to these molecules,” he says.

Brookes says he knows most people just appreciate the paintings for their aesthetic value, but there’s a whole other world within them if people care to look. “People historically have looked at science and art as two separate things, like the left brain and the right brain,” Brookes says. “My feeling is that, in the end, there’s so many more connections to celebrate and pay attention to.”
Sleep: The Science and the Mystery opens at 6 p.m. on Friday, July 25 at Library Street Collective, 1260 Library St., Detroit; 313-600-7443; lscgallery.com.

Art meets science at osteosymbionics, maker of custom craniofacial implant products
For those who have suffered a traumatic injury to the skull and face -- be it from an accident, cancer or deformity -- OsteoSymbionics leads the way in facial reconstruction. The Cleveland-based manufacturer of custom craniofacial implants serves surgeons at hospitals across the United States. OsteoSymbionics’ products provide both skull rebuilding and is cosmetically attractive.
Founded in 2006by Cynthia Brogan, OsteoSymbionics is known for using a special plastic in its craniofacial implants that doesn’t break and exactly fits the patient's face or skull. The type of plastic they use is a market niche and it’s done really well in its ability to be shaped to the skull opening without crumbling or breaking.”
Today, OsteoSymbionics has a line of products that range from a clear implant that allows surgeons to see brain function during placement, to hard and soft tissue implants. Housed in the Incubator at MAGNET, the company employs six full-time and two part-time employees who have backgrounds that range from medical artists and sculptors to biomedical engineers and materials scientists.
Many of the artists on staff are graduates of Cleveland Institute of Art’s biomedical program. “The fit and forming is more of an art than a science. Because of the talent of the students at CIA, they can do things that are pretty complex.”

Award-Winning Images Taken By Scientists At Work
The Princeton University Art of Science exhibition isn’t your average art show.

True to Albert Einstein’s quote — “the greatest scientists are artists as well” — which sits on the exhibition’s home page, each of the images was made or taken during scientific research.

The university holds the competition every year and they just released their 2014 image gallery. We picked out a few of our favourites from the winners.

The images range from microscope photographs to 3-D simulations to a typical photo of a not-so-typical phenomenon.

Pioneering Innovation through science and art collaboration
Creating a collaborative dream, where science and art meet to inspire change, where like-minded people can get away from their computer screens to meet and exchange ideas, bouncing off each other’s energy, rather than working online. Yellin himself describes his vision with this anecdote, “Pioneer Works fearlessly bridges the chasm between disparate disciplines. A biologist excitingly beckons a musician to the microscope, a painter shares her sketches with a geneticist and together they discover a new algorithm for printmaking. It is a nursery for innovation, an alpine highway to the horizon of the imagination.”

A surgeon's high tech exhibit - Art and science of Renaissance

On display at Stanford University's Cantor Arts Center, statues has several broken fingers. Another seems to suffer from a cyst on a nerve. A third may have symptoms of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. A fourth is missing a thumb.

We know this because we can share in the science -- through art -- of medical diagnosis, on display at the exhibit "Inside Rodin's Hands," which runs through Sunday.

The internal anatomy of 10 different Rodin hands are re-created in a high-quality 3-D virtual model built by a Stanford team, using CT scans of modern hands with similar ailments.
Visitors can view the underlying structures -- bones, nerves and blood vessels -- from every angle, via an iPad. It's like seeing Rodin's hands through the eyes of a surgeon.

A diagnosis for each hand has been prepared by Dr. James Chang, a Stanford hand surgeon, and students in his undergraduate course "Surgical Anatomy of the Hand: From Rodin to Reconstruction," which studies the anatomy and aesthetics of human structure.

They propose surgical solutions: Bones rejoined. Connective tissue removed. Enzymes injected. Nerves and tendons transferred. Joints replaced.

The new exhibit is part of a time-honored intersection of art and anatomy dating back to the Renaissance.

Adding digital elements to science-based exhibition
If you’ve been having a hard time telling the difference lately between art and science, don’t blame yourself. Western New York’s galleries, museums and even waterways, for that matter, are increasingly playing host to projects that combine aspects of science, art and activism in ways designed to blur boundaries and invent new hybrid categories of creative expression.

Byron Rich, a graduate of the University at Buffalo’s MFA program now working in Meadville, Pa., has been at this game for years. His work is the focus of a new exhibition opening Sunday in the Castellani Art Museum of Niagara University. The show, called “Protista Imperialis v2.1,” features many interactive digital elements, including a live feed of Instagram photos that carry the hashtag “#climatechange” and a functioning bioreactor that actively grows algae in the gallery as long as visitors are present.

A network framework of cultural history
The emergent processes driving cultural history are a product of complex interactions among large numbers of individuals, determined by difficult-to-quantify historical conditions. To characterize these processes, we have reconstructed aggregate intellectual mobility over two millennia through the birth and death locations of more than 150,000 notable individuals. The tools of network and complexity theory were then used to identify characteristic statistical patterns and determine the cultural and historical relevance of deviations. The resulting network of locations provides a macroscopic perspective of cultural history, which helps us to retrace cultural narratives of Europe and North America using large-scale visualization and quantitative dynamical tools and to derive historical trends of cultural centers beyond the scope of specific events or narrow time intervals.

Mangrove painting takes top prize
http://visual.artshub.com.au/news-article/news/visual-arts/mangrove...

The relevance of art in a world dominated by technology and science was a question that confronted visionary art theorist and artist Gyorgy Kepes in 1946, and art historians say it is still relevant more than ever in the digital age -- and especially in Silicon Valley.

Kepes (pronounced "KAY-pesh") sought to find a visual bridge between art and science that he believed was rooted in nature and particularly in the microscopic worlds that were only available to scientists at the time. Kepes' 1951 exhibition at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology sought to demonstrate a potentially shared visual language between science and art. Photographic panels hung from lattices confronted the visitor with previously unknowable worlds: from cells to cloud-chamber tracks, the patterns of electric sparks to a magnification of a camel's tongue. These patterns, shapes and textures, artistic in themselves, were paired with Kepes' own explorations in photographic light and painting.

A new show at Stanford's Cantor Arts Center, "The New Landscape: Experiments in Light by Gyorgy Kepes," reconstructs the seminal 1951 exhibition using original double-sided panels hung from lattices as Kepes did.

Polar scientist, artist to exhibit at SUNY Orange
Sam Bowser, PhD, who grew up on a country road in the Town of Wallkill, has gone to Antarctica 20 times and dived through drilled holes in the ice more than 180 times for the sake of science.

Bowser dives to bring back small specimens of foraminifera. He is a polar biologist specializing on "forams" — unicellular aquatic creatures that play a crucial role in marine environments.

Some may recognize Bowser as one of the characters featured in Werner Herzog's documentary "Encounters at the End of the World," or for being the featured scientist on the Discovery Channel's "Forces of Nature."

His work has shown that Antarctica is populated with forams that evolved hundreds of millions of years ago. They are like dinosaurs that are still around.

A new genus of foraminifera, was named Bowseria in his honor in 2008. And, Bowser Valley, lying east of Crawford Valley in St. John's Range, Victoria Land, Antarctica, was named in 2005.

Artist Laura Von Rosk travelled to Antarctica in the fall of 2011 to work with Dr. Bowser and his research team. She was there to assist with the scientific research and dive teams and, in one way or another, incorporate this experience into her own work as a visual artist.

Von Rosk is well-known for her small, surreal paintings of expansive landscapes often lush with vegetation. After her Antarctic trip, icy scenery and landscape of many shades of white have become prevalent in her work.

Bowser is a graduate of SUNY Orange, which will host an exhibit that was inspired by the expedition to Antarctica.

Titled "AntARTica: Exploring Art & Science at the Bottom of the World," the show will be on view Aug. 19 through Oct. 9. Gallery hours are 9 a.m.-8 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Fridays.

UBC researchers turn science into art
By day, Erick James manages a team of 12 at a local microbiology lab examining the role of tiny organisms inside termites used in wood digestion.

By night, James turns those micro-organisms into metal sculptures many times the size of the real subjects — for fun.

It started about five years ago when he joined the Patrick Keeling lab at the University of B.C. following a return from a sabbatical to study art.

He noticed his new boss, Keeling, had a pencil holder shaped from clay into the likeness of a micro-organism.

The idea rubbed off. Several years later, James has six sculptures of his own crafted from metal in the shape of protists — a type of micro-organism — with minor adjustments here and there to make the tiny creatures more visually pleasing.
