MORRIS TOWNSHIP Dolan Performance Center, College of Saint Elizabeth “When Art and Science Collaborate,” featuring poetry readings, theater, music and dance performances that examine the relationship between art and science. April 12 at 8:45 am Free.
Eric Kandel, 2000 Nobel Prize winner, American neuropsychiatrist and author appeared discusses his book "The Age of Insight". Kandel spoke about his reductionist approach to scientifically analyze the art viewer, through their interaction with art, and thus an artwork's expressiveness itself. Kandel mentioned the "beholder's share" which is the viewer's part of an transaction with artwork. He has conducted neuroscience studies on the viewer's physical reactions to artworks quantitatively. Kandel mentioned that historically, scientific research on the perception of art was mainly directed at an analysis of the artists. For instance, Freud looked at Leonardo and Michelangelo but that analysis was inconclusive due to, they were long gone and could not respond. Eric Randel is exploring artistic expression and transaction from the viewer's point of view. He has conducted neural studies to quantify many viewers' physical reactions to certain portraits. What is learned about the viewer brains and perception can be applied to developing the best artistic means to effectively communicate on a symbolic level.
BioArt projects might not start out with a hypothesis or an application in mind, but approaching science from a creative angle often yields new knowledge, says Pelling.
“There are plenty of massive failures, but once we’ve approached it from this creative standpoint … we actually learn a lot of interesting things about cells and cell biology. We’re constantly discovering proteins that act in ways that are very surprising just because we’ve asked a slightly different question.”
”BioArt quite often gives people one of their first windows into the biotechnological world, which can be very exciting, fascinating and confusing.” Artists interested in BioArt often collaborate with scientists, an arrangement that affords them access to a lab, equipment and scientific know-how they might lack. Scientists and artists working side-by-side in the lab is often a mutually-beneficial experience.
Almost all the scientists that artists contact with over the years state that in the beginning they really didn’t know what they would get in return for working with the artists. But it usually is this sort of moment where the artist sees their research from a very different perspective or asks a question that’s completely unexpected. It allows the scientist to see their work in a way different from how they have been all along. For scientists, that can be really productive in terms of furthering their own work.
( I have heard this several times from artists. They say artists in fact help scientists in that way. They may be correct but different people see different things in different ways. My interactions with common people brought several interesting aspects before me. Sometimes one scientist doesn't see or think things as another scientist does. This variety brings new aspects to a single problem. This is not limited to the artists and art field alone! - Krishna )
“When you’re manipulating other life forms toward human ends in a conscious way, that involves an ethical dilemma or decision-making system,
I’m not a scientist and my aim is not to necessarily contribute to science, but I’m interested in contributing to a discussion around some issues that relate very much to scientific methods and scientific practice as it moves into the cultural world - An artist
Although the manipulation of cells, tissue and other material is an activity often attributed to scientists, most BioArt practitioners would neither call themselves scientists nor have a scientific background. Therein lies the appeal.
“I think the interest in BioArt stems from the mystique of the lab and allowing laypeople to come into an area that is very specialized,” . “It’s something you only see on TV or in the odd news report.” - An artist

All weekend: Create Leo-inspired kinetic machines with their resident artists, or tinker with models of his inventions. Jump in the Motion Capture Booth and animate a figure of Leonardo, or create 2D animated shorts starring Leonardo, Mona Lisa, and other famous characters. Try your hand at backward writing – a favorite method Leonardo used in his famous notebooks Friday Only: Leonardo After Hours presents Harder. Better. Faster Stronger. 6:30 p.m. – 8 p.m. (details below) Saturday Only: Robotics Lab with MIT robotics professor and host of the Discovery Channel show “Time Warp” Jeff Lieberman. Watch this live workshop FREE in The Leo Lobby. 12-2 p.m. Sunday Only: Discovering da Vinci. 30-minute presentations by Dr. Joe Andrade. Noon and 3 p.m.
Kemp’s lecture, titled “Platonic Solids,” drew on both art and science in its examination of Platonic solids — polyhedrons, such as cubes or tetrahedrons — and their variants. The lecture dealt largely with the art historian’s study of Leonardo da Vinci.
The Making, Materiality and Knowledge conference aims to provide an arena for discussions on field-specific, inter- and transdisciplinary knowledge production within Making Disciplines/Making Professions/Making Education.
We're bringing you a packed program of presentations, workshops, performances, screenings and more, all connected by links to science & art. We are trying something a little different this year.

Scientists use X-rays, dyes, fancy microscopes and other tools to see things we can't capture with our naked eyes. But these tools aren't just good for science, they can make art. An exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History explores the beauty in scientific imaging. These pictures illustrate the chemical composition of four meteorites, which was detected by scanning them with a beam of electrons. Red represents magnesium, green is calcium, and blue is aluminum.
