CALL FOR PAPERS: FROM UTOPIAN TELEOLOGIES TO SPORADIC HISTORIOGRAPHIES: "INTERFACES" OF ART AND CYBERNETICS
Call for papers for the session, Interfaces of Art and Cybernetics, at the 39th Annual Association of Art Historians Conference, University of Reading, UK, 11 - 13 April 2013. This session redresses a lack of attention to cybernetics globally. Session organizers invite presenters in the visual arts and from non-art disciplines to reconsider or generate knowledge about generations and geographies of art and cybernetics, including practices that create, distribute, and theorize art forms, concepts, and histories. Papers may explore cybernetic phenomena in artistic environments; examine artistic play on logic and reason; consider how art or non-art agents treat cybernetics as a social and cultural paradigm, or question how cybernetics is presented in historiographies of recent art and what interfaces of cybernetics and art bode for intra- and inter-disciplinary research and practice.

The beauty of the tiny biological structures can be shared with people around as Bio-Artography, a fascinating combination of art and science.

Pinks, oranges, and yellows dance together on a matted print where the colors of a sunset — and science, and art — come together in one unique creation. It’s scientific art — or BioArtography.

melding art to science. After continuously marveling at the beauty of biology under the microscope, some realize that these scientific images are art. Talking to the public about science and scientific careers, and even some of the controversies in science, like stem cells and the use of animals is the useful outcome.

Richard J. Blundell of Cambridge is developing a new one-man show he hopes to perform in Woods Hole this summer that combines history, science, and theater.

Mr. Blundell plans to work with scientists from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and a local theater director on “A Surfer’s Guide to the Universe,” which he hopes to perform in August and September, 2012.

It's not all microscopes and lab coats at the Higgs boson headquarters on the Swiss-French border.

Well, it is, but there's also some art going on. Just last week a group of scientists at CERN -- the European Organization for Nuclear Research -- which houses the Hadron Collider that discovered the Higgs boson, set the God particle to music.

Since you can't experience the Higgs boson firsthand, the scientists thought it'd be cool to form music notation out of the data, and apparently the particle that may have produced the universe as we know it (or not) sounds like a snazzy piano tune. Obviously.

But Arts@CERN, which is dedicated to providing those hard-working scientists with a little culture, isn't stopping there. They also commissioned choreographer Gilles Jobin to come to the CERN campus for three months and produce a dance piece in CERN's library. It's the God Particle Dancers, ladies and gentlemen.

The stunning crystal art of Jim Frazier OAM.

He had mixed hundreds of chemical combinations, but it was what he found in the clean-up that led to his discovery of a new art form - the growth of crystal structures.

It was only by pure chance that Jim, an inventor, naturalist and world-renowned cinematographer (who has an Oscar, an Emmy, an honourary doctorate and has filmed for David Attenborough), was to discover the crystals, which formed by a chemical reaction.

Science and art are often seen as polar opposites; one a rational search for answers, the other a philosophical exploration into the questions. But it’s not only Leonard de Vinci who was able to combine the two so spectacularly.

From opera impresario Jonathan Miller to rock star physician Brian Cox, the lines between scientist and artist are often blurred.

Vagabonds through and through, artists have always gobbled up scientific subjects as inspiration. But increasingly more scientists are taking center stage.

Two fascinating current examples are Fuel’s Body Pods project and Katie Mitchell and Professor Stephen Emmott’s Ten Billion, currently at The Royal Court.

Body Pods is a year long project masterminded by Fuel co-directors Louise Blackwell and Kate McGrath; each month a part of the body is explored by an artist and scientist in a podcast.

Philosophy-Science-Art-Business

“Every Science begins as Philosophy and ends as Art, it arises in hypothesis and flows into achievement”- Will Durant, The Story of Philosophy

The key to innovation could not have been put in a more succinct manner. Compare this to one of the most successful consulting strategies in the world and you realize how hypothesis driven problem solving techniques yield better and faster solutions. Time to quote another one of my favorite thinkers, Spinoza. “…the motion and rest of the body must arise from another body, which has also been determined to motion or rest by another..”-Ethics

Spinoza was laying down his propositions for defining existence, body and mind. But if you apply the same postulate to science you find a relation with Newton’s First Law, that of Inertia.

The more one explores, the more one observes the symbiotic relationship that exists between philosophy, science, art and business. Exploring all dimensions can yield miraculous discoveries.Not surprisingly, the best discoveries and inventions have been realized by individuals who conducted research in multiple disciplines.

CALL FOR PAPERS
EVOMUSART 2013
2nd International Conference on Evolutionary and Biologically Inspired Music, Sound, Art and Design
3-5 April 2013, Vienna, Austria
The use of biologically inspired techniques for the development of artistic systems is a recent, exciting and significant area of research. There is a growing interest in the application of these techniques in fields such as: visual art and music generation, analysis, and interpretation; sound synthesis; architecture; video; poetry; design; and other creative tasks. The main goal of evomusart 2013 is to bring together researchers who are using biologically inspired computer techniques for artistic tasks, providing the opportunity to promote, present and discuss ongoing work in the area.
Due: 1 November 2012

The Assembled Self
Who are you? What kind of truth does your genetic profile tell about you?
The Assembled Self is a project about the experience of genotyping (genetic testing) and how this affects an individual’s sense of self. It is driven by our interest in how genetic testing alters the narratives through which people anchor their own, their families, and their communities’ identities. The project involves a collaboration of researchers and artists conducting a creative research project where artists produce new works (phase 1) to be presented to generate public conversations around genetic testing and identity (phase 2). We are holding a research development workshop on Saturday 18th August to think through these ideas and find artist collaborators. Subject to a successful funding application, 8 artist collaborators will be provided with financial and logistical support for their artistic contribution to The Assembled Self.
We are looking for Sydney-based artists with a strong history of practice, whose work deals with identity. We are especially keen to hear from artists working in interactive, socially engaged or participatory ways. Attending the workshop does not commit you to the future project, or the project to you; this is a research development activity and we will reimburse you for your time ($150 AUD). There are 12 places available at the workshop.

THE CAT IN THE BOX
Written by Vivienne Glance
Directed and designed by Mark Barford
Featuring James Helm, Summer Williams, Anna Brockway & Kingsley Judd The Blue Room Theatre Northbridge Western Australia
31 July – 18 August 2012
An artist, a scientist and a hippy are in a room. The door is locked. They don’t know how they got there or how to get out. Add a cockroach, a pile of junk and Schrodinger’s cat ¾ then sit back, and watch the sparks fly. When a millionaire, Reep, joins them, the thin veneer of civil society is peeled back and the atmosphere becomes even more explosive!
This absurdist comedy is a darkly humorous clash between science and art, big business and spirituality. Can they get out of the room? Can they work out what is real? Where’s that cat - is it alive or dead? And can anyone tell the difference?
