Glass art's science connection: Fifty years ago, art and science happily collided when artist and educator Harvey Littleton and scientist Dominick Labino melded their backgrounds in a compact, intensely hot kiln.

The collaboration came during a one-week workshop on glass art that Littleton staged in a shed on the grounds of Ohio's Toledo Museum of Art, in which Labino participated. While working to correct a few early technical problems, the pair developed a new approach to glass blowing that took the art form far away from the marching band-style glass replications Littleton viewed in his childhood -- his father would take him to his hometown's Corning Glasswork laboratory -- and opened a floodgate of fiery experimentation for blowing, flaming,

Call for Participants: SymbioticA Biotech for Artists Workshop

BiofiliA -Base for Biological Arts at Future Art Base, Aalto University, Finland
28th January-1st February, 2013
Saturday 2nd February, official inauguration of Aalto BiofiliA wet biology laboratory
Deadline for applications- Friday 26th November 2012

BiofiliA, Base for Biological Arts, Aalto University, Finland, in collaboration with SymbioticA, The University of Western Australia is organizing an intensive five day workshop for artists and other interested people. After the workshop the opening of the new laboratory and biological arts programme will be celebrated.

The workshop will be led by SymbioticA's Director//Aalto visiting Professor Oron Catts and BiofiliA's scientific collaborator Marika Hellman.

This is a hands-on workshop where the tools of modern biology are demonstrated through artistic engagement, which in turn gives voice to the broader philosophical and ethical exploration into the extent of human intervention with other living things. It involves exploration of biological technologies and issues stemming from their use; it serves as a theoretical and practical introduction to the creation of biological art and is aimed at mentoring artists in issues of biotechnology and the life sciences.

The workshop will cover hands-on engagement with some of the fundamental tool of modern biology in order to be able to carry out and critique manipulation of living systems from an informed practical perspective. The practical components include DNA extraction and fingerprinting, genetic engineering, animal tissue culture and basic tissue engineering techniques

MYRIAD
By Loren Kronemyer
8-14 November
Opening 9 November, 6-9pm
Free Range Gallery 339 Wellington St, Perth Western Australia
MYRIAD is an artistic exploration of insect communication, framed by relationships of control and exchange. SymbioticA masters student Loren Kronemyer has spent the past year researching social insects with the aim of achieving a form of interspecies dialogue. Her experimental process has approached communication as a form of drawing, creating lines through a range of techniques from pheromone manipulation to environmental intervention. The resulting images are living drawings that transform under the shifting influence of insect and human intelligence.

Mandelbrot is said to have revitalized visual geometry and coined the term “fractal” to refer to a new class of mathematical shapes that uncannily mimic the irregularities found in nature.

How to spot artistic brilliance

• Artistically gifted children may see the world differently than other youngsters do. They discover advanced compositional techniques many years before their peers.
• These precocious children tend to be self-motivated and deeply interested in honing their skills.
• These early signs and others are helping researchers to predict which children are likely to pursue art as adults.

Art, science and schizophrenia

There was a time when schizophrenia was blamed on the family and the so-called schizophrenogenic mother. Then with the growth of knowledge about the biology of mental illness all hope was pinned on the development of the perfect medication. Now social factors are seen as part of the cause and should be part of the cure. Lynne Malcolm hosts this discussion on the art and science of schizophrenia at the Dax Centre in Melbourne.

http://theengineinstitute.org/unnatural

UNNATURAL will present scientific, romantic, conceptual, poetic, sensual and ecological conceptions of nature through a variety of strategies that reflect advances in technology in the twenty-first century. The works in the exhibition question conventional means and methods of representing the natural world and metaphorically embody both the paradoxical longing to fuse with nature and the threat embedded in such fusion. The works in UNNATURAL thus reflect a cultivated, synthetic, manipulated nature, which includes allusions to science as manifestations of a reality oscillating between the real and imaginary.

Art met science as a Sidmouth College class channelled Aborigines to create a mural of the carbon cycle this term.

Year Seven students used the traditional ‘x-ray’ and dot painting styles of the Australian natives to paint the 8ft by 4ft image, which was displayed in Kennaway House during the science festival.

They also took inspiration from Vincent Van Gogh’s ‘The Starry Night’ and Andre Derain’s ‘Boats in the Port of Collioure’, for a painting of the Jurassic Cliffs of Sidmouth’s coastline.

A deep-sea oceanographic research expedition is one of the last places you may expect to find a visual artist, but on a recent summer day, Lily Simonson had just stepped off a vessel returned from just such a trip. See her work here:

scientists today are more concerned with communicating to the public than ever, and that reaching out to artists can help.

"I think that artists have [the] potential to make science more approachable and interesting for people. And that's one important benefit of having artists who are willing to talk to and work with scientists.

San Diego-based artist Kelsey Brookes may have abandoned the laboratory for a studio but he's still utilizing his scientific background. For his latest solo show, “Serotonin; Happiness and Spiritual States,” the former biochemist-turned-artist has transformed molecular line diagrams into brightly colored, psychedelic paintings that represent how those molecules affect our visual perception (as imagined by Brookes). The resulting work is, according to Brookes, "a lot like taking a bunch of hallucinogenic drugs and looking into an electron microscope, without all the anxiety and mess." Expand your mind and see for yourself this Saturday during the opening reception from 6 to 8 p.m. at Quint Contemporary Art in La Jolla. Brookes will be in the gallery, along with a surprise live musical performance. "Serotonin; Happiness and Spiritual States" runs through December 29. (Before you go, check out this Q&A with the artist in voiceofsandiego.org.)

Science and art continue to collide during a free talk at the La Jolla Playhouse this Sunday at 5 p.m. Inspired by its current production "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots," the Playhouse will bring together several local scientific thinkers and La Jolla Playhouse artists (including "Yoshimi" director Des McAnuff) to discuss “The Art in Science – The Science in Art." From robot-assisted surgery to robots that dance on stage, the worlds of art and science are not mutually exclusive. Join the conversation and learn how creativity is shaping the latest innovations in medicine and vice versa.

What if one can learn mathematics from Lord Vishnu and Narada? What was the reaction of Albert Einstein when he heard of the nuclear attack by the USA on Japan? Students from across the state tried to answer these questions through drama - fusing the age-old art form and science - to spread message about burning issues of society and awareness about wonders of science.

The maiden edition of two-day state-level science drama competition organized by Gujarat Council on Science & Technology and Gujarat Science City came to a close on Sunday at Science City. A team of St Paul's School from Rajkot was declared winner whereas teams from Bhavnagar and Bhuj bagged second and third prizes, respectively, out of 26 participating teams. The winner team will represent the state at zonal round in Mumbai next month, said organizers. Winners of the zonal round will go to Kolkata for the finale.
