GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The UF-HHMI Science for Life Program and the University of Florida College of Fine Arts will hold the 2013 Creativity in the Arts and Sciences Event, known as CASE, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday in the Reitz Student Union Grand Ballroom and McGuire Dance Pavilion.
The CASE highlights creativity, talent and cutting-edge research across UF and other participating institutions. The event will feature science research posters; 2-D and 3-D art exhibits; and film, dance and musical performances. Students apply to the event and compete for awards in three categories: science, art or science/art collaboration projects.
“You have two worlds: art and science. In both worlds creativity is involved. We’re really celebrating the activities of our students from both sides,” said professor Ben Dunn, director of UF-HHMI Science for Life Program. He sees the CASE as a great opportunity and challenge for the science students. The CASE focuses on their ability to explain the complicated studies they do in a research laboratory to someone who isn’t familiar with research or the concepts involved.
Margaret Mertz, associate dean for research technology and administrative affairs for the College of Fine Arts, also stresses the importance of collaborative thinking.
“It’s being able to cross the disciplinary boundaries,” she said. “It doesn’t mean you’re less good at either one, but you’re able to capitalize on both.”
The CASE is an opportunity to have many different types of people together to share their experiences and information. It’s free and the public is invited.

Students from the ISU College of Art and Design braved the cold to meet their next-door neighbors in the ISU-based Biorenewables Research Laboratory
Dubbed the “S’mores Smash-Up,” Robert Mills, communication specialist III of the Bioeconomy Institute, said this event marks the beginning of the Bioeconomy Institute’s 4th Annual Biorenewables Art Competition.
The Smash-Up encourages interaction between artists and researchers.
While enjoying the hot treats, art and design students mixed and mingled with the researchers who presented a display in the Biorenewables Research Laboratory lobby. The display showcased the many different products produced from their work with biorenewable resources and technology, with emphasis on a process that rapidly heats biomass to extreme temperatures in the absence of heat, called fast pyrolysis.
“[The S’mores Smash-Up] is designed so the artists can meet the scientists researching biorenewables and learn more about them, their research, materials and processes,” Mills said. “It’s really the first step in the competition.”
Jill Euken, program director of the Bioeconomy Institute, said the Smash-Up provides an opportunity for the artists to take samples of biomass and biorenewable materials, such as biochar and algae, to incorporate into their art.
Martin Haverly, a graduate research assistant in mechanical engineering, said the Smash-Up helps the public connect and understand the designs and functions of biofuels through the artists' work.
The Biorenewables Art Competition 2013 is open to ISU students enrolled in Integrated Studio Arts/Integrated Visual Arts (ISA/IVA) courses, Mills said. They may partner with any ISU student for the competition.
Students must submit their entries by April 14 in order to be eligible for the final review, whose results are announced on April 22.
Fusion of sci and art triple threat, Simonne Jones, singer, artist and scientist is doing an artists residency at the PLATOON ARTIST LAB in Berlin. she is creating interactive and motion-detecting LED paintings. below you can read a report written by Simonne:
"science and art are inseparable. scientists and artists both attempt to transform our reality in ways that we can understand. neither are content with what exists overtly in nature. they want to dive deep into the secrets of the universe. as a scientist and artist i am passionate about creating work that catalyzes a curiosity to explore a limitless universe.
a pattern that emerges in both my artwork and music is the intensity of human spirit and the drive and explore the unknown. creation is my attempt to discover the otherworldly and along the way collect a cabinet of curiosities. my music is scientific in its approach. for example, music is about organizing and finding patterns within the sounds and vibrations in the universe. my work reflects the assumption that there is more to our environment that what we can see, and that our perception is not a reliable truth.
i love to work with LEDs because I am reminded that science, technology and art are inseparable. i often begin a piece by identifying a phenomena I would like to understand, similar to how a scientist forms a hypothesis. when i worked in a genetics laboratory studying the structures involved in HIV replication, i realized the common ground in artistic and scientific thinking processes.
while a resident artist at PLATOON KUNSTHALLE Berlin I am creating works that integrate my interests in science and art by combining visual arts, science and technology. i am creating interactive, motion-detecting, LED paintings. each painting represents scientific patterns in the universe such as the second law of thermodynamics in physics (entropy), quantum mechanics, subatomic particles, nebulas, constellations and dark matter. the works will project constellations in the room around them and together embody their own little universe. they explore the trans-dimensional information regarding curiosity about existence with a scientific context.
when people see my work i would like them to be inspired to stretch the boundaries of what is familiar to them and discover something stimulating. i hope to inspire others to catch a glimpse of the other side of the looking glass; a place that holds the secrets of the universe, in an attempt to catch a glimpse of something beautiful and elusive. consequently, as we look through the looking glass, we see our own reflections and propagate self discovery."

an ongoing project which seeks to use photosynthetic and phototactic (move in response to light) microorganisms in natural waters to make images and text. With appropriate illumination and masking this should be possible using differential exposure of the organisms to light, since they will organise themselves in response to this. This is a time-lapse of the enrichment process. The organisms are too dilute in the original samples to make images, so I enrich the water by shining light onto it, and when the microorganisms have moved towards the light I can decant the water that is enriched with photosynthetic and phototactic life. This process itself is intriguing as the organisms can be seen to respond and move in relation to the illumination, and form complex patterns as they do so
http://readingeagle.com/article.aspx?id=446209 "Art and Science," viewing through Feb. 22 at the Freyberger Gallery of Penn State Berks, pursues an ages-old interrelationship by asking artists to interpret the teachings of Penn State instructors from the Berks Campus science division. The artists were required to watch a video of the teachers in action and derive their own aesthetic ideas from what they saw.
The manner in which each of these was done is, of course, germane to the artist's own method of working and filtered through those methods.
The complication that arose here is whether one or the other takes precedence, being that one would have either scientific art or artistic science.
After looking at the display, one finds certain artworks as adequately done while approaching their topic, but acting more as illustrations than taking science to heart.
Students get firsthand taste of chemistry in Art and Science of Brewing class Published January 29, 2013
Linfield College Professor Brian GilbertIn the Art and Science of Brewing class, taught by Professor Brian Gilbert, students learn the principles of chemistry through brewing beer. VIDEO
In the 300-level chemistry class, students analyze the chemical processes that occur at each stage of brewing and look at how organic compounds help create aromas and flavors. The class also features tastings and trips to local breweries.
Not too many people would describe tornadoes, drops of rain or oak trees as works of art.
That’s exactly what Alistair McClymont sees in those objects and other things that are more often studied by scientists with distance and detachment than viewed by artists as a source of inspiration.
McClymont will be at the Contemporary Art Museum, 409 W. Martin St., on Friday to unveil work that will be featured at the museum for three months in an exhibit called “Everything We Are Capable of Seeing.”
First Friday, from 6 to 9 p.m., is a monthly art event in downtown Raleigh. Galleries stay open late and many restaurants offer special deals. To learn more, go online to FirstFridayRaleigh.com.
Maybe the most striking piece on display will be a freestanding tornado concocted by simple means. Three fans affixed to metal piping work with a custom-built humidifier to make an endless series of tornadoes that dance around the room.
The idea came from a previous project that involved the Wizard of Oz, the London-based artist said. McClymont said he wanted to make a tornado from water that people can walk through, so using only basic components was a necessity. Anything bigger would have required a large enclosure and costly parts.
Most of McClymont’s work has similar origins. “One project leads to another, and they all start with me wanting to know how something works,” he said.
Another piece is a machine that makes a single drop of water hover in mid-air by using a specially designed wind tunnel. The machine took two years to build and is modeled after something built by researchers at the University of Manchester who were studying rain.
What may first appear to be a large, wooden asterisk is in fact a project titled “Oak Tree.” A stack of medium-density fiberboard is arranged in the exact pattern that oak leaves form on a tree. Oak leaves appear in 104-degree intervals and leave behind a natural spiral. McClymont said he uses MDF because it is one of the cheapest wood-like substances made and is something that may appear to be wood but is not.
“There’s a real beauty in all of this,” McClymont said. “Something traditional, something that definitely belongs in a gallery. But there’s also something scientific about it. I’m interested in that intersection.”

Teacher workshop to eye melding arts with math, science curricula
Texas educators in grades K-12 will gather to develop curricula incorporating the arts and creative thinking into science, technology engineering and math (STEM) classes during a March 9-10 workshop hosted by Texas A&M’s Institute for Applied Creativity.
The workshop, to be held in Room A217 of the Langford Architecture Center on the Texas A&M campus, is part of a nationwide, National Science Foundation-funded effort headed by Carol Lafayette, associate professor of visualization, to advance the STEM to STEAM movement — the inclusion of art and creative thinking in curricula of STEM disciplines.
Lafayette, with Jorge Vanegas and Rodney Hill, professors of architecture and champions of creativity who teach the popular Design Process creativity course at Texas A&M, will lead creativity sessions at the workshop.

The Winter show at the Gallery at 100 Market Street
This season’s exhibit at 100 Market street will feature most of the completed paintings and drawings in Tree of Life series on the first two floors. Trees seem to be thematic. The featured artist on the upper floors, Cori Caputo, is also exhibiting a series of trees in sepia and a range of full color works. It should be interesting to see the same subject and different viewpoints side by side. In addition, AAGNE artist Kate Higley will be exhibiting several works. And the reception snacks are top notch!
Several of the drawings and paintings in “Tree of life” series juxtapose complex organic branching tree structures with DNA and biochemical motifs. This combination takes the “Tree of Life” symbol out of a purely spiritual or purely phylogenetic context. The change in context underscores the densely networked and interconnected properties of life on Earth and the importance of Ecological order in our modern understanding of the world. The idea of an Ecology and of trees as symbols of Ecological order and harbingers of Ecological change and disarray is further explored in other works that do not explicitly refer to Biochemistry. Taken together, these pieces tell a rich and compelling visual story.
A London based curatorial collective with an interest in art and neuroscience
AFFECTING PERCEPTION: Art and Neuroscience
Can brain damage spark creativity? What is the role of memory in art? Is it right to categorise art by the artists’ condition?
“Affecting Perception” showcases the work of a group of nine leading artists affected by neurological states, including stroke, agnosia, migraine and autism, and engages them in conversation about their art with eminent research scientists, including Simon Baron Cohen, Glyn Humpreys, Klaus Podoll, Charles Spence and Semir Zeki. An ambitious and rich exploration of the process of human creativity, hosted by AXNS Collective, funded by Wellcome Trust and the Wates Foundation and supported by Oxford University.

Ritchie stated that he wanted to break away from linear storytelling and create a more structured and formulaic narrative, a scientifically correct mythology as a base for his complex visual stories. He knows physics very well. In 2009, he was the only artist invited to speak to an audience of Nobel laureates discussing Einstein’s theories and how they can be applied in the 21th century. According to the laws of physics we only recognize one reality and it can be predicted. Edward Lorenz’s “Butterfly effect” that the “flapping of a butterfly’s wings in Brazil can set off a tornado in Texas” made chaos theory popular, bringing the idea of randomness into science. The Morning Line, among others, is an excellent example of how Ritchie transforms his scientific ideas into art.

Science art related topics. You might have noticed that sci-art is flourishing in several parts of the world and it has to be promoted in Asia too. I submitted a white paper on Sci-art scenario in Asia to the Leonardo network and suggested several actions.You can read it here: http://seadnetwork.wordpress.com/white-paper-abstracts/final-white-... After submitting the paper I came across some more reports and I added them to Art Lab network. I want to read more on the Asian sci-art scenario on Art Radar.

an ongoing project which seeks to use photosynthetic and phototactic (move in response to light) microorganisms in natural waters to make images and text. With appropriate illumination and masking this should be possible using differential exposure of the organisms to light, since they will organise themselves in response to this. This is a time-lapse of the enrichment process. The organisms are too dilute in the original samples to make images, so I enrich the water by shining light onto it, and when the microorganisms have moved towards the light I can decant the water that is enriched with photosynthetic and phototactic life. This process itself is intriguing as the organisms can be seen to respond and move in relation to the illumination, and form complex patterns as they do so

"Art and Science," viewing through Feb. 22 at the Freyberger Gallery of Penn State Berks, pursues an ages-old interrelationship by asking artists to interpret the teachings of Penn State instructors from the Berks Campus science division. The artists were required to watch a video of the teachers in action and derive their own aesthetic ideas from what they saw.
The manner in which each of these was done is, of course, germane to the artist's own method of working and filtered through those methods.
The complication that arose here is whether one or the other takes precedence, being that one would have either scientific art or artistic science.
After looking at the display, one finds certain artworks as adequately done while approaching their topic, but acting more as illustrations than taking science to heart.

Students get firsthand taste of chemistry in Art and Science of Brewing class
Published January 29, 2013
Linfield College Professor Brian GilbertIn the Art and Science of Brewing class, taught by Professor Brian Gilbert, students learn the principles of chemistry through brewing beer. VIDEO
In the 300-level chemistry class, students analyze the chemical processes that occur at each stage of brewing and look at how organic compounds help create aromas and flavors. The class also features tastings and trips to local breweries.
Students over 21, professors and local brewers are invited to the final exam, a tasting held Friday, Feb. 1, from 10 a.m. to noon, in Graf Hall, rooms 205 and 209.

Not too many people would describe tornadoes, drops of rain or oak trees as works of art.
That’s exactly what Alistair McClymont sees in those objects and other things that are more often studied by scientists with distance and detachment than viewed by artists as a source of inspiration.
McClymont will be at the Contemporary Art Museum, 409 W. Martin St., on Friday to unveil work that will be featured at the museum for three months in an exhibit called “Everything We Are Capable of Seeing.”
First Friday, from 6 to 9 p.m., is a monthly art event in downtown Raleigh. Galleries stay open late and many restaurants offer special deals. To learn more, go online to FirstFridayRaleigh.com.
Maybe the most striking piece on display will be a freestanding tornado concocted by simple means. Three fans affixed to metal piping work with a custom-built humidifier to make an endless series of tornadoes that dance around the room.
The idea came from a previous project that involved the Wizard of Oz, the London-based artist said. McClymont said he wanted to make a tornado from water that people can walk through, so using only basic components was a necessity. Anything bigger would have required a large enclosure and costly parts.
Most of McClymont’s work has similar origins. “One project leads to another, and they all start with me wanting to know how something works,” he said.
Another piece is a machine that makes a single drop of water hover in mid-air by using a specially designed wind tunnel. The machine took two years to build and is modeled after something built by researchers at the University of Manchester who were studying rain.
What may first appear to be a large, wooden asterisk is in fact a project titled “Oak Tree.” A stack of medium-density fiberboard is arranged in the exact pattern that oak leaves form on a tree. Oak leaves appear in 104-degree intervals and leave behind a natural spiral. McClymont said he uses MDF because it is one of the cheapest wood-like substances made and is something that may appear to be wood but is not.
“There’s a real beauty in all of this,” McClymont said. “Something traditional, something that definitely belongs in a gallery. But there’s also something scientific about it. I’m interested in that intersection.”

Portsmouth NH exhibit opens (Friday, Feb 1, 2013)
The Winter show at the Gallery at 100 Market Street
This season’s exhibit at 100 Market street will feature most of the completed paintings and drawings in Tree of Life series on the first two floors. Trees seem to be thematic. The featured artist on the upper floors, Cori Caputo, is also exhibiting a series of trees in sepia and a range of full color works. It should be interesting to see the same subject and different viewpoints side by side. In addition, AAGNE artist Kate Higley will be exhibiting several works. And the reception snacks are top notch!
Several of the drawings and paintings in “Tree of life” series juxtapose complex organic branching tree structures with DNA and biochemical motifs. This combination takes the “Tree of Life” symbol out of a purely spiritual or purely phylogenetic context. The change in context underscores the densely networked and interconnected properties of life on Earth and the importance of Ecological order in our modern understanding of the world. The idea of an Ecology and of trees as symbols of Ecological order and harbingers of Ecological change and disarray is further explored in other works that do not explicitly refer to Biochemistry. Taken together, these pieces tell a rich and compelling visual story.

Matthew Ritchie in HUMA3′s Inaugural Magazine
"The Morning Line," Installations: Center for Contemporary Art, Seville, 2008, Eminou Square, Istanbul, 2010, Schwarzenbergplatz, Vienna, 2011
Ritchie stated that he wanted to break away from linear storytelling and create a more structured and formulaic narrative, a scientifically correct mythology as a base for his complex visual stories. He knows physics very well. In 2009, he was the only artist invited to speak to an audience of Nobel laureates discussing Einstein’s theories and how they can be applied in the 21th century. According to the laws of physics we only recognize one reality and it can be predicted. Edward Lorenz’s “Butterfly effect” that the “flapping of a butterfly’s wings in Brazil can set off a tornado in Texas” made chaos theory popular, bringing the idea of randomness into science. The Morning Line, among others, is an excellent example of how Ritchie transforms his scientific ideas into art.

Science art related topics. You might have noticed that sci-art is flourishing in several parts of the world and it has to be promoted in Asia too. I submitted a white paper on Sci-art scenario in Asia to the Leonardo network and suggested several actions.You can read it here: http://seadnetwork.wordpress.com/white-paper-abstracts/final-white-...
