    Science, Arts and Crafts Exhibition in Visakhapatnam school

    The fourth-edition of mega Science, Arts and Crafts Exhibition at Priyanka’s Vidyodaya High School, drew a huge crowd here, on Sunday.

    As many as 2,200 exhibits were displayed by 1,800 students from nursery to Class X with each class working on a different theme. Nursery children displayed paintings of fruits, vegetables, animals and birds. ‘Charminar’, ‘Victoria Memorial’, ‘Church’, ‘Gurudwara’, ‘railway station’, ‘cricket stadium’, ‘India Gate’, ‘Taj Mahal’ and ‘Red Fort’ were a few exhibits worked upon by Class I students.

    ‘Geo-thermal energy’, ‘water cycle’, ‘global warming’, ‘urban occupation’, ‘types of pollution’, ‘history of early man’, ‘satellite communication’, ‘structure of the earth’ and many more formed part of the exhibition.

    It was not just students who had put up their exhibits, even teachers involved themselves with interesting themes like ‘solar system’, ‘Indira Gandhi Zoological Park’, ‘different forms of terrace’, ‘early man civilization’ and deities made with chalk and pencil nibs, among others.

    Making art out of Mt Everest litter

    Nona Walia, TNN Dec 16, 2012, 12.55PM IST

    Kripa Rana Shahi tells Nona Walia why she — along with 15 artists — took up a project to turn garbage strewn over the world's highest mountain into a visual delight.

    It took Kripa Rana Shahi and her artist friends almost a month to transform heaps of rubbish on Mount Everest into works of art. The result is a visual delight with 74 sculptures, including one of a yak, wind chimes made out of gas canisters, food cans, torn tents, boots, plates, plastic bags — all dumped by climbers en route to the world's highest peak. Shahi, who's the director of this project, explains her reason for this venture, "I am not an artist per se. I'm a development practitioner, and my passion towards art led me to take up this initiative. Everest is our crown jewel and we need to keep it clean." For more information , click on the link.

    ward for bio-art proposal together with AMOLF
    Category: News, Theory of Biomolecular Matter, Systems Biology
    December 14, 2012

    On December 6, 2012, one of the three Designers & Artists 4 Genomics Awards (DA4GA) was granted to a bio-art proposal, Living Mirror, that will be carried out in collaboration with the Systems Biology group of Tom Shimizu and the Theory of Biomolecular Matter group of Bela Mulder.

    DA4GA is a unique Dutch contest that brings art, design and life sciences together. Teams of scientists and artists are working with living material in their projects that evoke surprise and questions. Hans Clevers, president of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) handed out the prizes of each 25.000 euro’s.

    About the project
    Living Mirror by Laura Cinti & Howard Boland, with the FOM Institute AMOLF
    A liquid image of magnetic bacteria. That is the Living Mirror: an interactive bio-installation in which cells are combined with electronics and photo manipulation. Individuals are captured and translated in a live, 3D-portrait. This image reintroduces the ‘fleshiness’ absent in digital media. Living Mirror connects the history of the mirror in literature and arts.
    When realized the Living Mirror will be exhibited in the Naturalis Biodiversity Center in Leiden.

    Freyberger Gallery exhibition explores synergy between art and science

    The Penn State Berks Freyberger Gallery will present Art and Science, an exhibition that explores the responses and reactions of artists, through their work, to the research and scholarly interests within the Penn State Berks science division.

    The exhibit runs from Jan. 10 to Feb. 22, with an opening reception on Thursday, Jan. 10, at 6 p.m. The reception is free and open to the public, and light refreshments will be served.

    In the exhibition, artists interpret scientific information aesthetically, using the scientific information as a point of departure for their creative endeavors. Viewers will observe art that illuminates, defines, and interprets the data and information gathered by the college’s science faculty members, making it more accessible for some and more intriguing for others.

    While the faculty’s research has provided important and useful information on such topics as mathematics, horticulture, biology, chemistry, and physics — just to name a few — the artists featured in this exhibition have used these discoveries to create other exciting new realities through their work.

    Artists employ similar processes of repeated patterns to investigate infinite outcomes.

    SANTA MONICA, CA.- ARENA 1 Gallery will present Infinity +1, part 1, which will open on January 12 and run through February 9, 2013. Mitra Fabian, Debra Greene, Robert Strati and Casey Reas create works that flirt with the idea that infinity can be made tangible. Using tools of science like computer software or invented rules that are based on science but are in fact fake, these artists employ similar processes of repeated patterns to investigate infinite outcomes. Curator Christine Duval envisions this as the first of a series that will explore various aspects of infinity. Mitra Fabian works with atypical materials like glass vials, plastic films, tape of all sorts, various office and scientific products. As she builds with these materials she deconstructs and alters them in such a way that they are not immediately recognizable. This “reconstruction” is determined by what the material is capable of doing, not meant to do. Armed with a compulsion to repeat a motion, Fabian subjects the medium to folding, curling or creasing. The new physical form is always more organic, often referencing topography, crystalline structures or biological growth. “Into the Deep” is over one mile of black tape that Fabian painstakingly folded like a fan and then let sprawl onto the floor like a giant spill of crude oil. As abstract as her work seems at first, it serves as a commentary on the increasingly modified condition of humans and their environment, blurring the lines between organic and manufactured, and more often between beautiful and disturbing. She has been exhibiting nationally and internationally since 1997 and her work has been featured at the Museum of Contemporary Craft, the Laguna Art Museum, and the Armory Center for the Arts. She currently teaches sculpture at Sacramento City College, Sacramento.

    I was excited to read about the involvement in this exhibition by Casy Reas, a name who is familiar to me. Reas (on twitter) and Ben Fry wrote the visual and media rich Processing programming language for artists, musicians, graphic designers, data visualization researchers, scientific researchers.. anyone can take advantage of Processing as  you could see in these exhibits. Every year I open Processing and paste in somebody's sample code; maybe this will be the year that I learn it!

    Where art and science collide

    A thrilling encounter between the worlds of contemporary art and science will be realised in Survival Games. The performance will be staged at Pridi Banomyong Institute's main auditorium from today until Monday and again from Jan 17 to 21 at 8pm.

    Wellcome Collection (part of the Wellcome Trust, a UK-based global charitable foundation) has commissioned six artists-in-residence in six countries to produce works inspired by local scientific research.

    One of them is B-Floor Theatre, Thailand's vanguard contemporary theatre company, and their performance is titled Survival Games.

    After having investigated the work of malaria and melioidosis researchers at the Wellcome Trust Mahidol-Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit (Moru), B-Floor will present their latest creation on the endless battle between humans and ever-mutating diseases and the survival instincts of both.

    Survival Games is directed by Teerawat Mulvilai and Nana Dakin, two B-Floor directors whose works have been critically acclaimed in Thailand and abroad. It boasts a cast of veteran stage performers and also features the innovative contemporary Thai shadow puppetry of The Wandering Moon troupe.

    Science is art in Va. Tech exhibit

    http://www.roanoke.com/extra/arts/wb/318869

    Virginia Tech's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences is putting on an art show.

    "The Art of Science," which opens Monday in the university's Armory Art Gallery, aims to show how the microscopic images scientists generate in the course of their research can double as works of art.

    The photographs look like abstract art but also in many instances represent some phenomenon in nature that's being captured visually for the first time.

    Narrating a video of slides that accompanies the show, associate professor Justin Barone with the Department of Biological Systems Engineering puts it this way: "These aren't just microscopic images. They're easels that paint a story."

    Barone's own contribution is a black-and-white photo of objects that resemble clusters of rose petals.

    What they are, in fact, are sheets of protein molecules. Scientists understand how molecules are formed, but "what we don't understand is how nature puts molecules together to build stuff."

    In the laboratory, Barone was able to create the sheets and get them to curl up into tubes, and the photo captures that process in progress.

    "The tube is what we want because nature can use those" - for example, as blood vessels, he said.

    One of the ultimate purposes of Barone's research is to create biodegradable building materials that could be substituted for plastics.

    Other images in the show, resembling colorful abstract paintings, turn out to depict mouse brain cells, fungus, pig blood vessels, heifer mammary tissue, shrimp internal organs, tobacco plant cells and the first-ever publicly released image of a tiny beetle. The images result from efforts by the faculty to better understand plant, animal and human health problems and make improvements to agricultural industries.

    "We wanted to expose the public, students and other researchers to the creative work our faculty members are doing, and these images are an approachable and fascinating way to teach people about our research," said Saied Mostaghimi, associate dean of research and academics for the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.

    "Art is something that surprises us, that makes us think," said gallery curator Deb Sim. She said that when she saw the images, "there were questions and surprises and that's where it becomes art for me."

    The Armory Art Gallery, 203 Draper Road, is open noon to 4 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. "The Art of Science" will be on display through Jan. 31. For more information, call 231-5417 or visit www.cals.vt.edu.

    SMMMASH AT STANFORD: THURSDAY, JANUARY 17, 6:30PM
    What is a body, where does it come from, what is it for? The answers
    seem obvious until you focus and realize that there is a lot more
    than the superficial biological facts. For example, our bodies are
    also for dancing and for playing sports, activities that require
    incredible skills and practice. We spend an increasing amount of time
    in a disembodied virtual world of emails, websites, social media and
    even e-learning; and science will soon be capable of changing the
    genes of your DNA, of replacing your limbs with better prosthetic
    limbs, of augmenting your organs with microchips, of cloning your
    entire being, and of building robots that can do everything you do:
    what are the implications of a disembodied or "multi-embodied" life?
    Interaction among bodies is fundamental to shape human psychology:
    the brains of babies develop faster and better if they are held and
    cuddled than if they are left alone; and elderly people live longer
    and healthier lives if they have some kind of physical contact with
    others. Can surgery, drugs, etc. replace the power of body contact?
    Visit Stanford's Cubberley Auditorium for a discussion with Dancer
    Antara Bhardwaj (Chitresh Das Dance company); Robot scientist Oussama
    Khatib (Stanford Univ); Contemporary music performer Sarah Cahill;
    Multimedia artist and inventor Ken Goldberg (UC Berkeley); Author,

    "Meet the Scientists" a workshop at the College Art Association Conference in NYC on February 14th. The workshop is designed to provide artists, interested in collaborating with scientists, an understanding of the scientist's perspective, needs, and constraints. Using brainstorming/discussion format, the goal is to assist artists and curators in crafting realistic mutually beneficial art/sci/tech collaboration proposals. We are looking for scientists willing to spend two hours speaking candidly with small groups of artists about collaboration, their motivations and concerns.

    Bioartcamp : Created by Dr. Jennifer Willet, the accomplished bioartist and director of Incubator Hybrid Laboratory, working at the intersection of art, science, and ecology, Bioartcamp was an adventurous expedition in art making and social research that took place at the Banff Centre in Alberta, as well as in tents, made for bioart, out in the mountain range at Castle Mountain hostel.

    But first, I realize, you might not know what bioart is. In this episode you’ll start to uncover this discipline, hear from many of the people who attended Bioartcamp, as well as learn about some of the sticky situations within the field regarding its definition, practice, and motives.

    More on Bioartcamp can be found in this description from its website:

    “BioARTCAMP is a two-week residency program at The Banff Centre directed by Dr. Jennifer Willet from The University of Windsor, Canada. BioARTCAMP is a hybrid workshop / conference / performance event where 20 national and international artists, scientists, filmmakers, and university students will work for two weeks to build a portable biology laboratory in Banff National Park.  BioARTCAMP will serve as a “field research station” housing a functional biological sciences lab and a variety of art/science projects.  BioARTCAMP will open its doors to the general public for a one day “art/science fair” with food, music, and activities for all ages.  BioARTCAMP will conclude at The Banff Centre with a two-day conference.

    BioARTCAMP is designed to emphasize ecological metaphors for describing biotechnology in public discourse, and to complicate the ‘Great Divide’ between lab and field based research methodologies in the hard sciences.   BioARTCAMP will deploy humour and DIY techniques for reimagining biotechnology against the backdrop of the Canadian Rocky Mountains and motifs of back country exploration, mountain ecologies, and the wild west.  BioARTCAMP serves the demystification and democratization of biotechnology – within the context of larger ecological considerations with full attention to health and Safety considerations and respect for the delicate ecology of Banff National Park.”

    Art (R)Evolution, title of the Assassin’s Creed temporary exhibition at the National Museum of Science and Technology, is a project supervised by Debora Ferrari and Luca Traini, linked to Game Art Gallery (last year it took art and videogames to the 54th Biennale in Venice) with E-Ludo and the participation in Riccardo Hofmann’s concept, in order to detect and investigate art and culture in videogames.

    The National Museum of Science and Technology of Milan will display about a hundred works, among them pictures, film clips and installations. The most important Italian technical-scientific museum, that right from its origins has fostered the exchange between art and science, is now hosting real contemporary works of art from a single videogame, thus recognizing their artistic and cultural value.

    The exhibition presents about a hundred original works by Ubisoft artists, which have worked on the various episodes of the videogame since 2007. Though they were realized in digital form, the works are made in materials which are faithful to the original typology of the image, thanks to the partnership with Demart, so that the public will have the chance to enjoy real pictures in the form of canvas, frescoes, plexiglass, wood, leather, fine art and mosaic.
