sounds like he has a taste for old-school post-punk, the kind of thing that results from a high-speed collision between Devo and Dead Kennedys, where Sparks literally and metaphorically fly. If your musical brain doesn't stretch that far back, think Art Brut or Futureheads with sharper angles and a wilder sense of organised chaos.

This second album by We Are The Physics moves upwards, onwards and outwards from the Glaswegians' explosive 2008 debut, We Are The Physics Are Ok At Music. It also does justice to the manic energy of their live shows.

There's a more commercial head on these hyperactive shoulders (new single Napoleon Loves Josephine is the third to be lifted from it so far) although wider appeal depends on how receptive your ear is to Michael M's octave-leap vocal yelps and the band's ongoing "mutant science" schtick, which filters down from their name to song titles (Applied Robotics, All My Friends Are JPEGs) and the buzzy mechanics of their music.

Jorge Pérez Gallego, a third-year fine arts graduate student with a concentration in graphic design, used his doctorate in astronomy to further his advancements in the art world with his “SCIENCESTORE” exhibit, which has opened in UF’s Focus Gallery.

The gallery, in Fine Arts C, will house Gallego’s exhibit through Nov. 9 and will be open to the public on weekdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The exhibit will be a store that, essentially, sells science, he said.

Gallego will staff the store and discuss the design aspects of science. It will be an interactive performance.

Gallego set up his store exhibit with colorful graphic posters depicting quotes from scientists like Carl Sagan.

These posters and the interactive photo booth are to find out attendees’ ideas on what science and art are separately and together, he said.

Gallego said his purpose for the exhibit is to show visitors that science means more than the commodity it has become.

Castillero Middle School students this month got to tease a rainbow from a light bulb, decode secrete messages in abstract art and use chromatography to identify various substances found at a crime scene.

The visual and performing arts magnet designed the first two SciJam programs to entice students into the world of science, creating a synergy between science and the arts. Up to this fall, the school offered only a semester of science. This year it offers a full-year course.

Exposure to the arts helps equip students with the skills they need for a lifetime of critical thinking, problem solving, creativity and innovation.
( Creativity and innovation is okay but i don't agree with critical thinking and problem solving aspect of the statement. In my experience, art didn't help me in any way to think critically and solve my problems in science- it is just a myth - Krishna )

"The way the brain works for an inventor or engineer is remarkably similar to that of an artist or musician" - not true according to my experience. Scientific research is a more serious business-Krishna

SCIENCE and art don't often intersect, but in a new performance piece by Australian Council Dance Fellow, Dean Walsh, the two are inextricably linked.

Prime: Orderly is structured as a choreographic dance study into marine environments.

Distilling two years of research that included scuba diving and interviewing some of Sydney's most experienced marine environment experts, Mr Walsh has produced a two-part dance piece that incorporates solo and trio works.

"Bringing scuba diving and marine practice into dance practice creates an interface between myself, other dancers, scientists and the environment," Mr Walsh said.

Arts open new routes to science

If your experience of science communication so far is purely through the written word, take a look at Sublime Residencies.

This collaboration between the University of Aberdeen and Inverness Old Town Art put two artists in residence at the university's Lighthouse Field Station over the past summer.

Mark Lyken and Stephen Hurrel investigated parallels between marine mammal and human responses to sound and light, based on the university's research on the impacts of underwater noise.

The recent BBC Radio 4 Saving Species programme gives a flavour of the results.

Stephen Hurrel is also working with social scientists at the Scottish Association for Marine Science and the Scottish Crofting Federation. Belonging to the Sea explores the roots of conflict over fisheries and marine conservation on Gaelic-speaking islands in Scotland and Ireland.

Just two of many science projects turning exploring diverse artistic approaches to outreach.

Crazy scientist's obsession with Lady Gaga makes her to take an extreme step! Or is it scientists making  fun of her like musicians?

Science meets “Art”: Ferns named after Lady Gaga

Scientists from Duke University decided to name new 19 species of ferns after Lady Gaga. Hilarious, if you ask me, I don’t know what’s going on with scientists these days but I think they’ve gone a little gaga.
The biologist Kathleen Pryer and her team discovered a new genus of fern, and observing the similarities between these plants and Lady Gaga, maybe they thought that this way everybody will memorize their names easily, they ended up with these names: Gaga germanotta and Gaga monstraparva, the last one translated literally means something like “monster little”.

So here’s a funny thing for a scientist to announce… Jacob's premier on the London arts scene! It takes place over the 3rd-4th November at the Barbican Arts Centre! The interactive quantum dynamics project that he dreamed up almost two years ago, danceroom Spectroscopy (dS for short), is headlining a (FREE!) Barbican-wide arts festival called Natural Circuits. The installation will run both days from 11 am – 7 pm. Interspersed throughout will be six performances of Hidden Fields (three each day), our genre-defying dance performance – where the movement of dancers’ energy fields actually control the sounds and graphics generated within the piece.

Artists experiment with science in the ‘Holocene’

The List Visual Arts Center — an art gallery embedded in one of the world’s most famous centers of scientific inquiry, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology — is a great, and in some ways a provocative, place to show this kind of art. It’s doing so in a show called “In the Holocene,” organized by List curator Joao Ribas.

The exhibition features work by 46 artists. Among them are such famous names as Joseph Beuys, Berenice Abbott, Robert Smithson, Sol LeWitt, Man Ray, On Kawara, Hiroshi Sugimoto, and Joan Jonas, as well as somewhat more obscure figures like Leonor Antunes, Roger Caillois, Helen Mirra, and Georges Vantongerloo.

Physics and art ( in the form of a billboard):
http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/newsandeventspggrp/imperialcollege/newss...

Two giant advertising billboard signs have been given over to exhibit a piece of art based on a vital, but little known physics equation.

Written in the international language of mathematics, it depicts quantum physics' Schrödinger equation.

The Schrödinger equation has led to much of the technological development of the modern world, for example fibre optics that create the internet's backbone, solar panels, GPS and electron microscopes. It was devised in 1926 following a huge international effort by many scientists, and describes the 'beautiful and surprising' ways that light and matter behave when they interact at the smallest scale.

The artwork was devised by Imperial College London artist-in-residence Geraldine Cox and quantum physicist Professor Terry Rudolph, who hope to communicate a little flavour of the excitement and beauty that scientists see in equations that describe the world around us, and to inspire the curiosity of passers-by.

Performer links biology and technology at Coventry's Herbert Art Gallery and Museum

BIOLOGY and technology came together during a thought-provoking exhibition in Coventry.

Australian performance artist Stelios Arcadiou – known as Stelarc – wired his right arm to a muscle stimulator as part of his Extract/Insert exhibition at the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum.

His involuntary limb movements were mimicked by an avatar – a computer-generated representation of the artist – which generated sounds that were then taken and enhanced by British mezzo soprano opera singer Lore Lixenberg.

Speaking before his performance on Saturday afternoon, Stelarc said: “It’s about questioning the whole list of issues about what a human body is, and how it operates.”

Biology & Art by Maura Flannery: An Intricate Relationship, a wonderful article in which she features 22 artists and how they blend biology and art in their work. You can postpone your museum visits for a little while longer. Thanks to Maura, you only need to travel as far as your file cabinet for examples to help illustrate the fact that biology and art influence each other on many levels.

The artists featured in Flannery (2012) work with pencil, pen and ink, glass, clay, stainless steel, and even dung. Some keep nature journals, press plants, make prints with fish, create molecules, and use insects as art. You’ll even find examples of controversial bio-art in her article.

Artistic Transformation Connecting Subatomic Physics to Human Experience

In autumn 2012, TRIUMF (Canada's national laboratory for particle and nuclear physics) has been part of a unique type of experiment: This experiment did not involve colliding beams or high-intensity protons on target, but instead...colliding scientists with artists. On Saturday, November 3, the results of this experiment, as well as the original physics question, will be revealed to a public audience at Emily Carr University of Art + Design on Granville Island in Vancouver, Canada. The eagerly anticipated result will be an entirely new way of generating and communicating scientific ideas.

Professor Ingrid Koenig from Emily Carr University in Canada along with Margit Schild and Elvira Hufschmid of the Berlin University of Arts in Germany have designed the project to explore complex topics in an unique way, and to influence and create new ideas in both art and science. Called RAW DATA, this first experiment is part of a larger project which will extend to other subatomoic physics labs, and across scientific disciplines around the world.

This first run of the experiment happened in two parts – in the first part, four professional artists spent an entire day discussing a scientific question with three TRIUMF scientists. The art that this group produced was then passed on to a second set of artists who did not know the topic. Hence after, the art from those artists was passed to another set of artists who digested and interpreted the fundamental question. The results of the experiment will be on public display on November 1-3, 2012, in the Concourse Gallery of Emily Carr University of Art + Design. Inquiring minds may view the exhibit and guess and discover the original science question at the exhibit.

Nigel S. Lockyer, director of TRIUMF, said, "In physics, as in any science, it's important to gain inspiration from a lot of different areas. New ways of looking at the same problem can lead to great discoveries. I'm excited to see what the artists have produced and to reflect on their interpretations so as to enrich my own thinking." TRIUMF has declared itself a part of the Vancouver community and uses the neighbourly and artists interactions to help share their excitement of pioneering science with local citizens.

The art RAW DATA project is a collaboration between international artists and physicists from TRIUMF, Canada´s national laboratory for particle and nuclear physics, and Emily Carr. By applying the practices of artistic transformation, a chain reaction of complex artistic metaphors is generated and hence a concrete problem from physics is translated to the four basic aesthetic media - music, body, language and image. The transformation process of RAW DATA: Artistic Transformation on one hand takes place by translating scientific or physical facts into art. On the other hand, artistic works will lead to new scientific questions or experiments, as a re-translation of artistic works into the realms of physics is intended.

In a so-called Translation Hub, the artistic RAW DATA that is provided by the artists is in turn to be re-translated into the scientific realm.
