Art and science: "Your Inner Neanderthal"

By Maggie Koerth-Baker at 1:38 pm Monday, Apr 23

If you're in the Twin Cities area on Saturday, April 28th, I recommend going to check out artist and science geek Lynn Fellman talk about the Neanderthal contribution to the modern human genome, and how art can help people understand complicated science. "Your Inner Neanderthal" is part of the Hennepin County Library's DNA Days events.

Brandon Ballangee: 'Collapse: the Cry of Silent Forms'
"Brandon Ballengée, a visual artist and biologist, will exhibit sculptural installations and photographs at Ronald Feldman Fine Arts in his first major solo exhibition in New York. The exhibition, Collapse: the Cry of Silent Forms, consists of three bodies of work that explore the effect of ecological degradation on marine life and avian and amphibian populations. Synthesizing scientific inquiry with art-making, Ballengée transforms his field research into metaphors that reduce life to its essentials.

Last weekend, select artists from around the world and distinguished Cornell scientists gathered at Willard Straight Hall and Milstein Hall to present an exhibition that combined both science and art through the medium of light.

“LUX: Art and Science Exhibition,” the first display of its kind, promoted innovation and investigation within the arts and the hard sciences. Seven renowned “light” artists drew, sculpted and transformed light, altering how people normally interact with its luminosity. From mapping the universe to drawing with dust particles, the art installations attracted not just artists, but also scientists, engineers and architects.

http://blogs.laweekly.com/arts/2012/04/origami_japanese_american_na...

A major new exhibition, "Folding Paper: The Infinite Possibilities of Origami" at the Japanese American National Museum, rapidly disabuses us of this simplistic image, showing origami to be a highly sophisticated and significant contemporary art form.

Featuring 150 works by 40 international artists from 16 countries, the exhibition demonstrates that not only can origami be exquisitely beautiful but it's also capable of inspiring engineers, conveying complex political commentary and acting as a conduit for spiritual expression.

How Origami Changed Science, From Heart Stents to Airbags

What do cutting-edge developments in heart stents, air bag logistics and space telescope lenses have in common with a folded paper frog? These advances in technological design all are based on the principles of origami -- an ancient sculptural art form with strong links to mathematics, engineering and science. Many of the folders who have elevated origami to its new place in the art world are not only accomplished artists but also respected mathematicians or scientists. There is no end of artistic and intellectual challenge in the world of origami and its accompanying mathematics. Origami scratches all the itches that physics did and much more. This facilitates global communication between artists and scientists.

One of the origami-based algorithms  has been used in German software that simulates air bag deployment, giving manufacturers the first geometrically correct way to fold a three-dimensional air bag, enabling them to do fewer air bag crash tests. Eyeglass Telescope, designed to be 40 times larger than the Hubble Telescope and equipped with a diffractive lens the length of a football pitch. Computational origami was used to determine how to fold the lens compactly so that it would fit inside a small rocket and then reopen in space. He dubbed the origami structure "the umbrella" for its resemblance to one. The final project remains unbuilt, but a 5-meter-diameter prototype was tested successfully in 2002.

The  water-bomb base technique -- a rounded cube form that folds flat and can be inflated through a hole in one corner -- to create a prototype from stainless steel that can be reduced from a width of 23 mm to just 12 mm. The stent, which was finally produced in bioplastic, is threaded into a blood vessel, maneuvered into position in a blocked artery and then opened up to 23 mm again to prop open the artery and restore blood flow.

Images obtained by the refraction patterns formed when light passes through various shaped and formed plastics. By careful control and manipulation of the forming process semi-regular patterns and delicate tracery can be achieved. Also the integration of liquid colours into the soft plastic modifies the way the plastic hardens and hence the associated refraction patterns.

This is 'lensless' photography - here the object itself becomes the lens.

Art, science and a Schroeder mural at Fort Miles

The world of art intersected with the military world of science, technology, engineering and math at Fort Miles in Lewes during the second world war.  Stationed at the U.S. Army base on Cape Henlopen, a young artist named Howard Schroeder – out of the Bronx of New York – found his talents put to work by Uncle Sam.  With large pieces of plywood as his canvases, Schroeder painted several mural-sized pieces illustrating the defense work of Fort Miles and its amazing setting inside the cape. Schroeder murals are a perfect example of STEM subjects at work.  Included with this column, the painting presents a rare glimpse inside the top-secret world at Fort Miles at the time.  Two soldiers stand inside one of the fort’s fire towers using an azimuth-measuring instrument to calculate the position of a target ship on the horizon.  Communicating that information to gunners in the bunkers of the fort, they could correctly project where to fire the cannons to intercept enemy vessels. That activity, which is all about science, technology, engineering and math, was central to the important mission of Fort Miles.

Art is science and science is art in Leonardo's inspiring vision.

Art and science meet in Leonardo's inspiring vision, while etchings reveal Picasso's inner world.

Leonardo da Vinci's anatomical drawings are among the most poignant works of art in the history of humanity.

Leonardo was a full-time scientist, and a painter second, by the time he made these. The captions and supporting materials – including modern anatomical models for comparison – show how precisely and originally Leonardo explored human anatomy through dissection, in a way that was totally unprecedented. Surgeons still refer to his drawings. He made superb observations, discovering, for instance, how a heart valve work

Anna Dumitriu’s work blurs the boundaries between art and science with a strong interest in the ethical issues raised by emerging technologies. Her installations, interventions and performances use a range of digital, biological and traditional media including live bacteria, robotics, interactive media, and textiles. Her work has a strong international exhibition profile and is held in several major public collections, including the Science Museum in London. Dumitriu is known for her work as founder and director of “The Institute of Unnecessary Research”, a group of artists and scientists whose work crosses disciplinary boundaries and critiques contemporary research practice. She is currently working on a Wellcome Trust funded art project entitled “Communicating Bacteria”, collaborating as a Visiting Research Fellow: Artist in Residence with the Adaptive Systems Research Group at The University of Hertfordshire (focussing on social robotics) and (formerly Leverhulme Trust) Artist in Residence on the UK Clinical Research Consortium Project “Modernising Medical Microbiology”. Her major international project “Trust me I’m an artist, towards an ethics of art/science collaboration” (in collaboration with the Waag Society in Amsterdam and The University of Leiden) investigates the novel ethical problems that arise when artists create artwork in laboratory settings. She is also a contributing editor to Leonardo Electronic Almanac. Click the links at the top of this section for information on key projects.

A large challenge for scientists and engineers is generating public awareness and understanding of their research. Several biomedical engineers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have collaborated with artists from the College of Saint Rose and the surrounding Capital Region to bring their research on healing the nervous system to the public through art.

The first workshop exhibition of their collaboration will be open to the public on May 11, 2012 with guided tours in the Center for Biotechnology and Interdisciplinary Studies at Rensselaer. Between the tours will be an exhibit symposium to discuss the future of the collaboration.
