Neuromedia Art and Research
August 31 2012-March 17th 2013
Kulturama: Science Museum, Englischviertelstrasse 9, Zürich (near at Hottingerplatz) NEUROMEDIA is an exhibition by artist Jill Scott merging neurobiological anatomy and physiology studies with media art. The innovative exhibition features four interactive sculptures (SOMABOOK, THE ELECTRIC RETINA, «ESKIN» AND DERMALAND) involving scientific research results as well as documentary films on the scientists and involved, the artist and her work processes. The exhibition offers profound insight into the relationship between art and science. Inspired by molecular and cellular research, cinema, philosophy and human health, NEUROMEDIA was developed while Scott was artist-in-residence at the University of Zürich from 2004 - 2012. This is the first time these artworks are being exhibited in a science museum. NEUROMEDIA will allow you to discover surprizing dimensions about your own levels of human perception.

Science Art-Nature invites you to participate in a juried virtual exhibit, WINDOWS ON EVOLUTION: An Artistic Celebration of Charles Darwin, commemorating Darwin Day, February 12, 2013.

The top 40 entries will be posted on Darwin Day, but all qualifying works will eventually be added.
The exhibit will remain accessible through the Science Art-Nature website indefinitely.

We intend to have the exhibit announced through various websites including that of the Darwin Day Organization. Darwin Day, as described there, is “an international celebration of science and humanity.” Visit their site to see videos, lectures on evolution, and information on Darwin, evolution, Darwin Day events and more.

As always, our aim is to display and promote the best contemporary Science Art and to encourage discourse between the scientific and artistic communities.

Each selected piece of art must portray a narrative about evolution. To help viewers step inside that narrative it must be accompanied by a 100-word caption describing the evolutionary context. For comparable caption examples, please refer to our previous shows in 2010 and 2011. For an example of evolutionary art, see our placeholder for the exhibit.
The exhibit may be interactive, inviting commentaries from viewers. Send us your preference!
The exhibit is open to all living artists working in any medium, although submission of traditional photographs is discouraged.
Each artist may submit up to three works, but no more than two works from each artist will be selected.

A $15 donation will cover processing the first entry, and $5 is needed for each additional entry.

Nature inspires student’s artwork

Stephanie Sabin has been honing her artistic skills in the midst of her biology studies at the University of Missouri–St. Louis. This month, she will show off the fruits of her labor at two art shows in St. Louis.

Sabin’s art draws heavily from her work as a seasonal wildlife biologist.

“Most of my research has been with birds, so I draw a lot of my inspiration from birds,” said Sabin, who is pursuing a master’s degree in biology at UMSL. “I also enjoy sharing the incredible landscape scenery I’ve seen across the country.”

Cortex, created by artist Raphael Vella, is one of the science-based art works created purposely for the first edition of Science in the City.

Curated by Lily Agius Gallery, Cortex will hang under the arcades outside the National Library in Republic Square, Valletta, on September 28.
The installation is made of sheets of acrylic joined together to look like a brain structure. Each section comes from a different mammalian brain: the rhesus monkey, the goat, the horse, the zebra, the Californian sea lion, and several others.

Science in the City forms part of the pan-European Researchers’ Night, held annually with the aim of encouraging adults and children alike to creatively engage with science in a more entertaining way.

From 6pm onwards Valletta’s main streets will host interactive science shows, hands-on experiments, science films, talks, discussions, art and a carnival parade.

Science in the City is supported by the EU Seventh Framework Programme and the Malta Arts Fund and co-ordinated by the University of Malta, in partnership with Valletta Council, Malta-EU Steering and Action Committee , the Malta Council for Science and Technology, the Malta Council for Culture and the Arts, Where’s Everybody, the Malta Chamber of Scientists, Notte Bianca, iCreatemotion, Lily Agius Gallery, St James Cavalier and the University’s Research, Innovation and Development Trust.

Using science in the art of cooking!

http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2012/09/18/basted-me-with-science-cu...

AP

For the chefs of tomorrow well-honed knife skills and a mastery of the mother sauces won't be enough, the culinary school ( Culinary Institute of America) is pumping up its curriculum with a host of science lab-worthy tools and techniques. Today's chef compared to a chef 30 years ago needs to know so much more. The industry, the profession, is so much more complicated.  Basic cooking lectures at times sound more like a chemistry lesson, covering the culinary uses of xanthan gum, or the physics of why oil and water won't mix. And just this month, the school was approved to offer a new major in culinary science, a field encompassing food science and culinary arts. A recent class covered dessert making via liquid nitrogen. Chef Francisco Migoya carefully dunked strawberries into a smoking container of the super-cold liquid, then shattered them with a mallet and ground the shards into a fine berry dust for use in an ice cream dish. Frozen borage petals were added for garnish. It's true: the famous French chef Auguste Escoffier never studied ion-dipole attraction and James Beard never had to consider the complex and sometimes outlandish creations of molecular gastronomy. But science has crept into cooking in so many ways, from cooks using lab centrifuges to separate ingredients to high-end restaurants that serve aerated foie gras. The trend, sometimes referred to as modernist cuisine, is loosely defined as the movement to incorporate scientific principles into the cooking and presentation of food.

Things like tips for preserving truffles in carbon dioxide is important these days. Cooks  have to have a detailed understanding of what's going on inside the pot o really become Chefs.

The emphasis on science is signaled most dramatically with the new bachelor of professional studies degree in culinary science. Beginning in February, students pursuing the degree will be able to take courses such as Dynamics of Heat Transfer, Flavor Science and Perception, and Advanced Concepts in Precision Temperature Cooking. a strawberry is not just something to be sliced or dipped, but something with cells and enzymes that can be manipulated for best taste and presentation. Loss explained that the strawberries smashed in the kitchen classroom have more surface area and thus more flavor. And ice cream made in liquid nitrogen is smoother than the stuff on the supermarket shelves because ice crystals don't have time to form.
The International Culinary Center in New York City now offers a concentration in culinary technology stressing scientific principles and hands-on experience with high-tech tools like those used for sous-vide.The food science department at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst began offering a concentration in culinary science about five years ago to meet a demand from culinary students with associate's degrees who wanted more science background for the job market, said department head Eric Decker. And Drexel University has offered a bachelor of science in culinary science since 2007.

Tests show simmering at a rolling boil at about 210 F produces a more flavorful, if cloudier, stock.

Different type of Microbial art:

The work of microbiologist-cum-photographer Zachary Copfer, who has turned a traditional artistic practice into a laudable technique weaving art and science into one. He calls it "bacteriography", which involves controlling bacteria growth to form desired images.

Copfer begins by taking a supply of bacteria and covering a plate with it. He then places a photo atop the plate and exposes it to radiation, making something akin to a negative of the print. After this, he develops the image as the bacteria grows, before finally coating it with acrylic and resin. he first takes a supply of bacteria like E. coli, turns it into a fluorescent protein, and covers a plate with it . Next, he creates a “negative” of the photo he wants to print by covering the prepared plate with the photo and then exposing it to radiation. He then “develops” the image by having the bacterial grow, and finally “fixes” the image by coating the image with a layer of acrylic and resin.

E. coli based renderings of Pablo Picasso, Albert Einstein and the night sky can be seen in his works on his website: http://sciencetothepowerofart.com/ .
