Call for Submissions: FASEB BioArt Competition The Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) is seeking the submission of captivating, high resolution images that represent the cutting edge of 21st century biomedical research. Each day scientific investigators produce thousands of images during the course of their research. FASEB believes that these images are an important, yet underutilized, resource in the community's effort to engage and educate the general public and policy makers about biomedical research.
Winning images will be featured on the FASEB and National Institutes of Health websites and displayed before Members of Congress at FASEB's centennial celebration.
Science isn’t a field traditionally linked to “the arts” but a neuroscientist at Arizona State University has started using paintings as a form of creative expression for her research, to explain her science to others and develop a greater understanding of her own work.
Heather Bimonte-Nelson, head of the Memory and Aging Lab, focuses on learning, memory and brain changes as people get older. Research Matters reports that she uses acrylic paints and canvases to visualize her research, with artworks that depict neurons, cells, memories and seizures. She told them:
Science is really about convincing people that your hypothesis or theory could be the truth in nature. And if you’re not a good storyteller, people will never believe it. You could have the best theory ever, but if you can’t communicate it effectively so others understand it, it doesn’t count.
Bimonte-Nelson’s paintings give her a greater understanding of the science she is researching and help her further her work and express herself when she is trying to communicate theories and ideas. In just one year, she has created around 40 paintings, which she hangs in her office or gives away to students and friends.
We are looking for an experienced arts professional to develop the Arts Catalyst’s experience and learning programme and our Clerkenwell base as a centre for interdisciplinary arts exchange and experiment. The postholder will be responsible for our role in a three-year European programme as one of nine city-based “incubation modules” stimulating co-creation processes across art and science.
We need a creative, connected and highly-organised individual, who is enthusiastic about working with artists and experts from science and other fields, and involving people from a wide range of backgrounds in interdisciplinary arts and creative activities.
For more information and to apply, download the job description, equal opportunities policy and application form here. Deadline 11pm Wednesday 4 April 2012.
Is creativity the realm of artists? What is creativity? • Do artists and technologists follow a similar creative process? • Does being an artist, or having an art education, give scientists an edge? • What are the similarities between how the three disciplines innovate? • What are opportunities for cross-enrichment between artists, scientists and entrepreneurs?
A multisensory combination of art, music, and technology features more than 3,000 high-definition images of Vincent Van Gogh’s work, projected on floor-to-ceiling screens by 40 radio-controlled projectors. Van Gogh was a Dutch post-Impressionist painter whose work paved the way for modern art. His brilliant strokes of gold, blue, green, and red coalesce with a moving classical score in this 30-minute display to tell the story of his aggrieved life and luminous talent. The images span the 10-year period, 1880-1890, when Van Gogh produced the majority of his work.
I have encountered scientists who see the benefit of art as being a discipline that enables them to come to a more holistic understanding of an investigation. To be able to communicate their subject better to a non scientific audience is an added benefit. For example how has an animal adapted to take on a particular form? Make a 3 dimensional model of fish and you can then conduct experiments to work out how it moves through water and what makes it swim in such a way. It's been well studied of course. I am brought to mind a project I worked on years ago in which scientists recruited artists to reconstruct the dodo and other extinct species. Not just their artistic impression but by using real skeleton casts and fossils etc to work out the exact proportions and muscles. The results are on display on a small island in Mauritius. To view the whole story on film check out Greenplanetfilms.org and search for 'The return of the dodo'
The basic tool one needs to use to make "art" is imagination. And of course the ability to translate the image into a physical reality. The translation of the image needs one to solve many art, optics, physics, biology, geometry, sociology, symbolism and geometry problems. In this workshop the imagination of the participant will be used as a motivation to acquire whatever skill they would need to learn to do this translation.

JALA & JBS Art of Science Contest Uncovers Beauty of Meaningful Work Every day, SLAS members work hard on important scientific projects in their labs, and sometimes, they take a step back simply to enjoy the beauty that can surface through the process. This year, SLAS was fortunate to have many of its members share some of their most mesmerizing scientific images.
In the fall of 2011 the Journal of Biomolecular Screening (JBS) and Journal of Laboratory Automation (JALA) Editorial Boards put in motion the 2012 JALA & JBS Art of Science Contest. With prizes and accolades at stake, the contest guidelines were simple:
“Submit a high resolution jpg file of your favorite cell structures, assay results or other lab creations. They might be interesting, beautiful or just plain COOL! Visualization plays an important role in the analysis and presentation of scientific work. In journal articles, images often communicate ideas and information in ways that text, tables, charts, graphs or equations cannot. Sometimes scientific images surpass this purpose and create shapes, patterns and designs that capture attention and imagination. These are the images JALA and JBS seek for the 2012 Art of Science Contest.”
