Multi-disciplinary, multimedia art:
That whole thing about people being either left-brained or right-brained is complete nonsense
A noted jazz pianist, MacArthur "genius" grant recipient and all-purpose, card-carrying polymath, Iyer knows a thing or two about the intersection of art and science. He got his start in the sciences, studying physics as an undergraduate at Yale University. Later at the University of California at Berkeley, he earned a Ph.D. in an interdisciplinary program that combined technology and art. (His dissertation, if you're curious, boasted the abstruse title Microstructures of Feel, Macrostructures of Sound: Embodied Cognition in West African and African-American Music.)

Nigeria: The Art in Science of Life's Trajectory By O'nali

Part of his analysis as viewed via the paintings and other mixed media works explain the artist's view of "evolution as forming the state of energy to matter." One of the works titled Gala Dilemma, he explained "is about the earth harnessing oxygen, nitrogen, but in a dilemma situation." While explaining his research, he artist in O'Nali gradually gave way to a deeper scientific detailing such that the art exhibition preview suddenly turned into a conference on aeronautics and space exploration. Indeed, the artist's claim that he researched the science of creation, just for the purpose of the body of work seemed like an understatement. He must have been coming from a background in science. "I was actually curious about science long time ago seeing the environmental devastation going at in the Niger Delta," he disclosed.

Science Inspires Art – ‘The Brain’ Exhibition Opens in NYC
The intense preoccupation with new brain research and technology is perhaps nowhere more keen and dynamic (outside of the science labs themselves) than in the Arts, where a host of visual and multimedia creatives are engaging in their own ideosyncratic and aesthetic forms of “cerebral exploration” as they seek to grapple with the images, ideas, knowledge and advances proffered by this brave new world of “neurosci.”
The 16th international art-science juried exhibition, organized by Art & Science Collaborations, Inc., in promotional partnership with Meghan Rhodes and MEDinArt, is currently open for public viewing at the New York Hall of Science (located in Queens, NYC). The exhibition is the culmination of an international open call for “visually stunning” works of art inspired by brain science (and however one wished to interpret the knowledge products of this science).
The remote collaboration between scientist and artist resulted in the curating of 42 (2D) works by 29 artists hailing from Israel, Italy, France, Germany, Canada, Mexico, and all over the US.

Can Dancing Teach You Quantum Physics?
Ikeda's work demonstrated the meaning of true excellence in the collaboration of art and science.
In quantum physics, a superposition is when two possible states of a system overlap or occur at the same time. An atom can be simultaneously in two places or an electron can be spinning simultaneously in one direction and its opposite. This kind of "both at once" logic never occurs in the classical world and it's the root of a lot of quantum weirdness. The revolutionary possibilities of quantum computers are primarily dependent on the idea that a quantum bit (or qubit) of information is both 1 and 0 at the same time.

An evening event with artist Alistair McClymont and Dr Ceri Brenner, Making a Universe explores artistic and scientific practices that deal with contained and extreme environments. Alistair McClymont creates poetic machines that contain 'natural' environments, making a universe of their own. Scientists similarly create miniature stars that imitate the birth of stars.

Alistair McClymont recently completed a three-month residency at the Central Laser Facility. Dr Ceri Bremmer is a physicist who enjoys communicating the extreme and inspiring science that she and others carry out at CLF.

'Which Came First': Art inspires student narratives about animal science
http://www.iowastatedaily.com/ames247/arts/article_738c9e3e-6901-11...

Prof. Arnold Wolfendale, a distinguished UK scientist in cosmic ray physics and astronomy who is also Emeritus Professor of Physics at Durham University in UK enthralled the audience at a public lecture at Anna Stadium here organized by the Cosmic Ray Laboratory (CRL). He said that art and science are intertwined. Art influences science and science influences art.
Dwelling in length to explain to the budding minds the importance and co-existence of art and science, Sir Wolfendale pointed to the origin of the earth, nature and scientific developments over time, and said that the universe, the solar system, the planets, the earth and nature in and around earth are in fact nature's own form of art from where modern man drew ideas and inspirations for discoveries and inventions. Sir Wolfendale said that understanding the planet earth where nature's law like gravitational forces, rotation of the earth, seasons, measurement of distances between various planets and cosmic objects, invisible radiation and other related things helped man to venture into space.

He could, from space, now bring benefits to earth and use that knowledge to further explore space."An example of the influence of art on science is the role of artistic models in physics and chemistry. In turn, science has influenced art and continues to do so in such areas as the provision of new pigments and the introduction of exciting ideas from cosmology," he said. He explained how men in ancient times invented clocks by mere observation of the cosmic world and upgraded their skills in measuring the distances of cosmic objects.

Be it the understanding of the designing of the DNA molecule which paved the way for the revolution in bio-technology, agriculture and medical research, invention of the optical system that is helpful in science and in improving photography and designing atoms and molecules and all other technological inventions, all were connected with art which is the other side of the science, he noted.

Insisting that fundamental research is essential to provide baseline data for advanced research and applied sciences, he stressed that understanding art would add fuel to propel towards scientific inventions.Dr S.K.Gupta, Head of the CRL in Ooty said that these kind of sessions would help encourage students understand the fascination of art and science, pursue scientific research with more interest and look for innovation and inventions.

Celebrating art and science:
It’s art and science and it’s a celebration of how they marriage each other in most situations. Artists are always using science and the best scientists, the innovative scientists are artists as part of the creative process. So, it’s a celebration of that.

Musician uses science to help you see sound

A series of sound-visualisation experiments form the basis of the music video for a new single by musician Nigel Stanford
There are actually a number of scientific experiments that can be used to produce a practical visual effect in response to sound. Six of these have been used by Wellington, New Zealand-based musician Nigel Stanford, who, along with director Shahir Daud, has put them together to form the music video for "Cymatics", the single for his newly launched album "Solar Echoes".
The video for "Cymatics" -- named for the study of visible sound -- represents each audio track with a different visualisation. And, rather than creating the visualisations as a response to the track, it was these visualisations that formed the basis for the track's composition.

The secondary keyboard track uses a Chladni plate, a thin metal plate that vibrates when sound waves run through it, causing looping, undulating patterns to form in sand sprinkled over the surface. Stanford experimented with the keyboard, and chose the four notes he thought produced the best patterns, holding them long enough for the patterns to form -- a slow melodic motif.

U.K.-based Robert D. Eagling inhabits two worlds with great ease — as editor at the prestigious Royal Society of Chemistry where he edits top chemical journals such as Chemical Science, Chemical Communications and Chem Soc Rev. And the other as a serious balloon artist at children's birthday parties, stag and hen parties, weddings, and corporate events. "I've been doing this for a little over three years now. While on holiday with my family, I saw a guy doing this and fancied having a go," says Eagling, on a visit to Bangalore's Indian Institute of Science campus.

Sci-art in Africa:
The arrivals and departures of summer migrants, such as Swallow, House Martin and Cuckoo, hint at the changing seasons and deliver a sense of connection with distant lands. In January 2014, a team of four SWLA artists accompanied the British Trust of Ornithology’s Head of International Research on a trip to Senegal. By bringing artists and scientists together we set out to raise the profile around some of the issues facing our African migrants.
Where art and science meet

Bringing together artists and scientists delivers different perspectives on the same scene. Both artist and scientist question what they see and engage fully with the landscape and birds around them, yet they look with different eyes. The trip was a learning experience for all those involved.

Multicultural individuals can be more creative

In one study, Professor Leung exposed European American undergraduates to one of these three conditions using a 45-minute multi-media slideshow: (i) single culture through presenting pictures of items that depicted either the American culture (e.g., the Statue of Liberty, a hamburger) or the Chinese culture (e.g., the Great Wall, hotpot dinner) on each slide; (ii) dual cultures through presenting pictures of items that depicted American culture and pictures that depicted Chinese culture on each slide; and (iii) fusion of cultures (e.g., a picture of Starbucks’ mid-Autumn festival mooncakes).

She found that participants demonstrated better creative performance when exposed to dual cultures and fusion of cultures, compared to those who were exposed to a single culture. Their creative performance persisted five to seven days after initial exposure. Because they are more open and receptive to new experiences.

Artist creates nanosculptures smaller than a human hair
Sculpted with an advanced new nano 3D printing technology coupled with a technique called multiphoton lithography, these works of art are created using a laser that uses the phenomenon of two photon absorption. In this way, an object is traced out by a laser in a block of light-sensitive monomer or polymer gel, and the excess is then washed away to leave a solid form.

As this method of two photon absorption only takes place at the tiny focal point of the laser, it essentially creates a tiny 3D pixel (a voxel) at that juncture. The laser is then moved along a fractional distance under computer control and the next voxel in the series is formed. In a long and painstaking process that takes place over many hours, the complete 3D sculpture is assembled voxel by voxel.

Residuals’ reflects everyday substances’ chemistry
In even the most tranquil art space, no one can hear the long-gone plant life scream. That’s one finding after Los Angeles artist Sean Raspet took a sampling of the atmosphere in Jessica Silverman Gallery, the site of “Residuals.”
The low-level airborne particles coming off wood, paint and building materials are just some of the elements that make up “Standard Recovery (GC/MS VOLATILES-WHOLE AIR: 37.784749 °; -122.414129 °).” As a part of the work, Raspet sampled Silverman Gallery’s air for a week, using a SUMMA canister, and sent the samples to a lab for a readout of the molecular compounds and ratios, which he then had microencapsulated into a scratch-and-sniff emulsion that he will paint on the gallery’s walls, floors, desks and surfaces.

Using art as therapy and visualising science
Over 40 pieces of work with a medical science theme are on display in an exhibition split between a small art gallery near St Thomas’ Hospital and inside the busy ground floor corridor of Guy’s Hospital, London. (The exhibition is supported by Guy’s and St Thomas’ Charity.) “Catharsis: a symbiosis of science and art” contains a mix of drawing, photography, painting and sculpture, and an interactive installation. The artists have different backgrounds, but all express an aspect of science through their art.

Scientific arts
Katerina Evangelou, for example, a PhD student in Illustration, is researching graphic means by which to communicate the genetic development of butterfly eyespots. Her coloured micrograph produced during the event reveals how the structural interference to the arrangement of scales on the butterfly wing coincide with the centre of the eye spot. Her work was recently selected for inclusion in a peer-reviewed scientific paper, in preference to those produced by the scientist.
Recently in an event in which a gallery at the university became a laboratory for the exploration of worlds too small to be seen with the naked eye. It was equipped with a large and varied collection of microscopes on loan. One, a Phenom desktop Scanning Electron Microscope, is capable of up to x100k magnification. More than 800 visitors and students looked, drew, photographed and printed out everything from skin blemishes to stained leaf specimens to geological specimens. There was an insatiable desire to look and consider how they might exploit what was revealed to them.
