Art + forensics = a bloody mess. Well actually it is a ground-breaking residency opportunity.
Working in collaboration with forensic scientist Dr Kevin Farrugia, the selected artist will get to spend up to four days in Abertay’s forensics labs, exploring the ways print visualisation techniques can be manipulated to recover finger- and shoeprints from crime scenes. Describing the techniques involved, including chemical enhancement alongside specialised photography and lighting methods, Dr Farrugia expects there to be “a lot for the artist who comes over in June to learn about and experiment with.” The artist will then have the opportunity to work in the Dundee Contemporary Arts (DCA) Print Studio to develop ideas inspired by their time in the forensics lab.

Hearts of glass: Where medical science meets art
In the foothills of California's Sierra Nevada mountains, artists are partnering with doctors and scientists to create life-changing products.

In a small strip of commercial buildings in this town northeast of Sacramento, you'll find Farlow's Scientific Glassblowing. The modest lobby opens up into a pristine production lab filled with skilled glassblowers, blue-flaming torches and dazzling glass models of the human heart, brain and vascular system.

"It's science, and it's art," said Wade Martindale, Farlow's production manager.

Farlow's Scientific Glassblowing makes the glass organs and vascular models used by medical-device manufacturers in preliminary testing to determine whether their products will work in real-life situations.

For example, a medical company could request a glass model be built to spec for testing a new heart-valve catheter. Farlow's glassblowing team would then create a heart connected to a vascular system connected to a custom opening in the femoral artery of the leg. The company then uses that model for research and development to test catheter deployment.

LED Café — where art and science meet
Yale’s vast art collection includes celebrated works by van Gogh, Cezanne, Hopper, and Rothko. But the flashiest new canvas on campus hangs on a wall — and ceiling — in the School of Engineering & Applied Science (SEAS).

Nearly 450-square-feet in area and composed of 24,000 light emitting diodes (LEDs), the dynamic digital display runs up the east wall of the new café at Becton Center and wraps onto the ceiling. Each diode can be separately programmed, and the digital canvas, nicknamed LuxED, can display anything that lends itself to visualization. Similar technology now lights the exterior of the Empire State Building’s upper floors and mast.

Like the adjacent new Center for Engineering Innovation and Design (CEID), the artsy café and its high-tech canvas are intended to draw together engineers, scientists, artists, and humanists from around campus, and enable the casual mingling that can lead to creative collaborations.

"At the finish line, we'll get a velocity," instructor Frederick Hillier told WWSB. "And then they're supposed to break as hard as they can for the shortest stopping distance. They'll collect the data, they'll go back to school in the next class, and they'll calculate what the g-force was of their deceleration."

Science inspires art. And art, or creativity, inspires the scientist. Although the arts and sciences are often depicted as separate disciplines, incompatible and conflicting with each other, they are similar in many ways. They both require careful observation, discipline, intuition, inspiration and passion. “Scientists and artists perpetually live on the edge of mystery, being always surrounded by it”, said J. Robert Oppenheimer.

SymbioticA's Agency in Movement Symposium Friday 21st June 2013 9am-5pm The University of Western Australia G06 Moot Court Free registration (RSVP essential to christopher.cobilis@uwa.edu.au) The Agency in Movement symposium employs a variety of disciplines to explore the complex relations between movement and vitality.
Motion is observed by attaching a frame of reference to a “body” and measuring its change in position relative to another reference frame. Therefore, movement is relative, means ever changing and is perceived as visceral and “alive”. The Symposium will include invited speakers from diverse disciplines (art, performance, biology, biophysics, biomechanics, and philosophy) who will explore and interrogate the conceptual and technical relations between life (biological or artificial), movement and perceptions of "vitality”, with the hope that some interesting meeting points and/or negations will emerge.

A Theatre of Individuation: Theorising BioArt Encounters after Gilbert Simondon

Date: 15 March 2013
Time: 3:00pm
Location: SymbioticA
Speaker: Andrew Lapworth

Characterised by creative practices at the intersections of the arts, sciences, and biotechnologies, "bioart" is increasingly lauded as a crucial arena through which to question and unsettle cultural perceptions of life and the individual, the concept of the self, and the position of the human in relation to other (more-than-human) bodies and the environment (Born and Barry, 2010; Dixon, 2009; Hauser, 2006). It is this understanding of the capacity of bioart to effect ontological change that I want to develop further in this paper through a theorisation of art-encounters as "ontogenetic events" that materially produce, rather than merely represent, subjects and worlds. To address this ontogenetic potential of bioart, the paper turns to Gilbert Simondon's philosophy of individuation, and the conceptual terrain he develops to rethink being from the standpoint of its becoming. First, I explore how a philosophy of individuation pushes our contemporary understandings of the subject through an attentiveness to its emergence from material and affective processes that both precede and go beyond it, as well as its susceptibility to immanent disruption through the shock of encounter. Secondly, I argue that Simondon opens up the possibility of theorising this evental potential of bioart by emphasising the preindividual affective forces and processes of the art-encounter, and the disorienting transformations in being these bring about. By rendering sensible and reworking molecular, material, and technological agencies implicated in the constitution of the subject, bioart can be understood to open a space of experimentation with modes of expression and experience in their very coming-into-presence. I unpack these arguments empirically through an engagement with the bioartistic practices of the Tissue Culture and Art Project, whose "semi-living" bioart, I argue, stages a disruption of pernicious contemporary habits in favour of new and creative capacities for thinking, perceiving, and relating to the nonhuman.

>From anatomical studies to landscape painting to the biomorphism of surrealism, the biological realm historically provided a significant resource for numerous artists. More recently, bio art has become a term referring to intersecting domains of the biological sciences and their incorporation into the plastic arts. Of particular importance in bio art is to summon awareness of the ways in which biomedical sciences alter social, ethical and cultural values in society.

CALL FOR PROPOSALS
Art & Science - Hybrid Art and Interdisciplinary Research 2014 Estonian Museum of Applied Art and Design The beginning of the 21st century is characterized by an overwhelming awareness of scientific and technological issues. The field of art that interacts with the practices of science and its technologies is commonly referred to as Art&Science. During the past decades, the hybrid field of art & research has become more or less established, with iconic works, established institutions and documented histories. The interrelation between music, art, natural and computer sciences can be seen in new media art, biotechnological or telecommunication art and other contemporary artistic practices that have an experimental character.
