Celebrating nearly half a century of science and art
The original show in 1968 was seen by more than 60,000 people in London.

And now in a celebration of that landmark exhibition, a new Cybernetic Serendipity has opened at Huddersfield Art Gallery, displaying documents, installation photographs, press reviews, invitations cards, film and music from nearly half a century ago. It is the first in a series of touring exhibitions from the Institute of Contemporary Art and closes on May 30.

Running alongside the exhibition, the art gallery is staging drop-in sessions for children aged four to 14 on March 7 and 28, exploring robot making.

The sessions begin at 11am and finish at 1pm.

Anatomica is a show that will fascinate or frighten or both.

Viewers of this fusion of anatomical art and scientific illustration at the Dalhousie Art Gallery in Halifax leave comments ranging from “cool” to “creepy.”

That’s because perception depends on each individual’s mindset.

A pile of bones — 8,000 in unglazed porcelain, hand-sculpted by Ottawa artist Maura Doyle — immediately greets the viewer.

First Exhibition of Art from Across the Americas Influenced by the Space Race and Science Fiction opens at the Bowdoin College Museum of Art
Opening March 5, 2015,the Bowdoin College Museum of Art presents an exhibition that explores the impact of the Space Race, science fiction, and the explosive growth of technological innovation on artists of the Americas from the 1940s to the 1970s. Past Futures: Science Fiction, Space Travel, and Postwar Art of the Americas features over 60 works in a range of media and creative styles—from expressionist paintings and kinetic sculptures to graphite drawings and conceptual pieces. Drawing on works from public and private collections from North and South America, the exhibition investigates how artists from the United States and several Latin American countries interpreted notions of conquest, discovery, and crossing into new territories—both terrestrial and celestial. Curated by Sarah J. Montross, Andrew W. Mellon Post-Doctoral Curatorial Fellow at the BCMA, and on view at Bowdoin from March 5 – June 7, 2015, Past Futures broadens the conversation beyond avant-garde art of postwar Europe, the Soviet Union, and the United States by shining new light on artworks created by Latin American artists at this time, and examining the complex relationships between the American continents during this transformative era.

It’s easy to place people into categories: introvert or extrovert, left-brained or right-brained, and so on. However, University of Chicago chemistry legend Gregory Hillhouse demonstrated that an individual is more than a category. Hillhouse was more than a scientist; he was also an artist. Last Monday, his artwork was honored at Kent Hall. The walls on the first floor of Kent were covered with his cubist paintings and replications of his paintings of flowers. In addition to showcasing much of Hillhouse’s artistic work, a photo slideshow was on display that showed his interactions with his students, his involvement in sports, his educational accolades, and his involvement in the chemistry community.

The exhibit demonstrated that Hillhouse was the epitome of the modern Renaissance man.

Physicist Jonty Hurowitz Creates Tiniest Sculpture of The Human Form Ever Made

There is a fine line between art and science and Jonty Hurwitz likes to dance upon it. With an engineering degree under his belt, Hurwitz crunches numbers like a pro and has found a way to create the tiniest sculpture of the human form this world has ever seen. His prototype has been 3D printed in nanoscale and is so itsy bitsy that it can fit into the eye of a needle- and you’d still need a microscope to make out what it is.

Auckland Arts Festival: 'An extravaganza of explosions'
Dr Michelle Dickinson loves science and has dedicated her life to it.

In fact, the senior engineering lecturer at the University of Auckland is so keen to share with the world her love for the discipline, she's set her own hand on fire - by lighting a harmless-looking pile of methane-filled bubbles.

Not as some kind of protest, but as a way of showing that science can be fun and safe.

"It shows that if you trust the science, things are not that dangerous," she said.

Scientific art and artistic science:
Miebach’s illustrated talk is titled “Storms, Gales and Blizzards: Exploring the Poetry of New England Weather Data Through Sculpture and Music.”

Storm Surge, the Merrimack Valley Coastal Adaptation Workgroup, has brought Miebach to the city as part of a new collaboration between Storm Surge and the art association. A Storm Surge art exhibit opened Friday and runs through March 28.
Some 40 artists are exhibiting their climate-related art in the Hills Gallery in a range of formats and each with a statement about the work. The best of show will be chosen by visitors’ ballots.

Miebach’s climate art is itself a collaboration, because it is based on scientific data that is expressed through sculpture and musical performance.

The aesthetics of Physics - as seen by an artist:

Maine-based sculptor Kim Bernard is spending a year in the department as artist-in-residence, bringing along an interest in the beauty of movement — which sets her kinetic works apart, a curiosity about the physical laws that underlie her art, and a gregarious determination to make the most of her time at Harvard.

Bacterial Paintings? New Art Uses Tiny Life Forms
More and more artists are harnessing living creatures to make political statements or illuminate the underpinnings of the modern world, researchers said here Friday (March 13) at the 2015 South by Southwest (SXSW) Interactive festival. Still others are coming up with futuristic biological solutions to present-day problems and human limitations.

The urge to turn life into other things is ancient, said Daniel Grushkin, a freelance journalist and co-founder of Genspace, a community laboratory in New York City. [Research As Art: A Gallery of Scientific Beauty]

Charles Darwin’s kids doodled all over several pages of - and notes for - the original manuscript of his historic 1859 book, which launched the field of evolutionary biology: “On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life.”

His children’s art thus preserved some science history, for those precious pages were saved—but much of the 600-page original manuscript was thrown out. Only 45 pages exist.

Pi is that mathematical enigma that is the endless stream of numbers indicating the circumference of a circle. It is also the base for the art that makes a fractal.
“Fractal creation involves mathematic variables which are set on the number of iterations or repeating steps that determine the complexity, which give the graphic detail and color. Eventually you’ll see the different colors and how it takes effect.”

Art on Using Cancer Cells’ Ability To Mutate As An 'Evolutionary Trap'
One of the big challenges in treating cancer is that cancer cells mutate and become resistant to treatment. A drug may work for a while, then lose its effectiveness. Cancer cells’ ability to mutate has long frustrated researchers, but some now view it as an opportunity to try new approaches to treatment.

In Kansas City, one scientist is leading the way by trying to create an ‘evolutionary trap’ to fight the disease.

On a Saturday morning at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, several museum-goers crane their necks to study what look like works of abstract expressionism. But these aren’t Pollacks or Kandinskys. They’re images of biological cells. Several biologists are on hand to explain what the curious viewers are looking at.

The images come from the lab of Rong Li, a cell biologist based at the Stowers Institute in Kansas City, Mo.
