Join Evolution Group Show
part of the WEST Austin Studio Tour April 27 – May 5, 2013
APPLICATIONS DUE APRIL 1, 2013

Art.Science.Gallery. is an art gallery and science communication space featuring science-related art in Austin, Texas. We will be hosting a group exhibition in keeping with our missions of supporting emerging and established artist-scientists, engaging our community in the sciences through the visual arts and providing a space for artists and scientists to forge new and collaborative relationships. Proceeds from this show benefit our Join Our Evolution crowd-funding campaign to help us evolve from a “pop-up” space to a brick-and-mortar gallery (artsciencegallery.com/evolve). This group exhibition is also an official stop on the 2nd Annual WEST Austin Studio Tour in Austin, Texas (west.bigmedium.org).

We consider science-art to be any work that combines art and the natural sciences through content, purpose, craft or materials. Works may be as sundry as photography, data visualizations, textiles + fibers, painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, mixed media and more. Group submissions by interdisciplinary collaborators and/or lab and research groups are encouraged. Are you a scientist who fears you are not ‘creative enough’ to participate? Not to worry! You could submit a creative visualization of data, wildlife photography, microscopy or scientific imaging. This show is a good opportunity for those of you who are emerging science-artists looking for representation to get some valuable experience working with a gallery.

Applicants may submit up to 3 works for consideration by completing the application package available at www.ArtScienceGallery.com/evolve/app. The due date for submissions is Monday, April 1, 2013 at 11:59pm CST and applicants will be notified of acceptance by Tuesday, April 9, 2013 at 11:59pm CST. If your work is accepted you will be responsible for delivering your work(s) to the exhibition space between April 19-22, 2013 in Austin, TX (78745). Works exhibited in this show that are not sold must be picked up May 7-8, 2013.

This year’s Edinburgh Science Festival has a diverse programme, writes Jan Patience
Saturday 23 March 2013

The connection between science, technology and art is boundless.

Even the word "technology" is a combination of the ancient Greek words for the systematic treatment of art (techne) and logic (logia). Leonardo da Vinci is just one example of a great artist who moved seamlessly between the arts and science – never seeing the join because, in his eyes, there was no join.

FROM THE LABORATORY TO THE STUDIO:
INTERDISCIPLINARY PRACTICES IN BIO ART
May 21-June 21
School of Visual Arts New York
4 undergraduate studio credits; USD$2400 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.

There’s more to the Marine Lab than the name suggests.

The Duke University Marine Laboratory is known for the caliber of scientist it attracts, its interdisciplinary classes, and its unique research opportunities. But this winter something different came out of the Marine Lab—art.

As part of the 2013 Undergraduate Winter Forum, Kristin Bedford, Caitlin M. Kelly, and Jennifer Stratton were invited to be Artists-in-Residence for the three-day “Blue Devils and the Deep Blue Sea: Can We Rescue the Oceans?” Bedford, Kelly, and Stratton are students from the Master of Fine Arts in Experimental and Documentary Art (MFAEDA) program. Each shadowed a group of students focusing on a particular issue, and created original artwork based on the experience.

SXSW2013 – Genetics and Bio-art: The Next Media Channel?

I’ve seen enough bad sci-fi to know that playing with genetically modified bacteria and fooling around with life-forms is dangerous. Doesn’t that stuff belong in a lab, supervised by professionals?

But consider the Personal Computer’s creation myth: A young Bill (Gates) or Steve (Jobs or Wozniak) tinkering in a garage with fellow hobbyists, bringing the power of computing from mega-corporations and universities into the home. Computers used to belong in a lab too, under the supervision of geeks in white coats, and now they’re in our pockets (and soon our glasses).

At SXSW 2013, I met with geek in a labcoat who’s doing for biology and genetic engineering what Bill and Steve did for computing.

Duncan Grushkin is VP and Founder of community biolab Genspace, a “hackerspace for bio-tech” in Brooklyn, NY. GenSpace is a collection of bio-hackers, biologists, geneticists and bio-artists interested in pursuing advances in bio-technology. Some use Genspace as an alternative to university labs that aren’t keeping up with demand, others are just exploring the possibilities of growing something in a test tube, for art’s sake.

Genspace was demonstrating interactive bioart from their exhibition CUT/PASTE/GROW – exploring the concept of art and beauty in genes and bacteria.

I brushed a liquid containing genetically modified bacteria onto a medium (petri dish). The bacteria will grow where it’s “painted”, and GM cells will exhibit a colour, and also glow under UV light.

Maxus “m”, poorly rendered in genetically modified goop.

How can we use this?

A key trend at SXSW2013 is about “making” – the opening up of manufacturing of software and hardware, from 3D printing to Mars missions. Will “growing” be the next “making”?

Could we “paint” billboards with coloured bacteria – let them colonise – and then “clean” them by mopping them with a disinfectant?
G.M bacteria are being grown that conduct electricity – essentially forming circuitry. Hooked up to Arduino or other microcontrollers, they could connect (communicate?) with the internet. How long until we can “grow” highly engaged Facebook fans?
Imagine a logo that is not a permanent, crafted form, but instead a bacterium that grows and changes and publishes its kalaedoscopic shape each day, Instagram-style? Sony experimented with shifting, crowd-sourced logos in 2001

Abstract

Research seeking a scientific foundation for the theory of art appreciation has raised controversies at the intersection of the social and cognitive sciences. Though equally relevant to a scientific inquiry into art appreciation, psychological and historical approaches to art developed independently and lack a common core of theoretical principles. Historicists argue that psychological and brain sciences ignore the fact that artworks are artifacts produced and appreciated in the context of unique historical situations and artistic intentions. After revealing flaws in the psychological approach, we introduce a psycho-historical framework for the science of art appreciation. This framework demonstrates that a science of art appreciation must investigate how appreciators process causal and historical information to classify and explain their psychological responses to art. Expanding on research about the cognition of artifacts, we identify three modes of appreciation: basic exposure to an artwork, the artistic design stance, and artistic understanding. The artistic design stance, a requisite for artistic understanding, is an attitude whereby appreciators develop their sensitivity to art-historical contexts by means of inquiries into the making, authorship, and functions of artworks. We defend and illustrate the psycho-historical framework with an analysis of existing studies on art appreciation in empirical aesthetics. Finally, we argue that the fluency theory of aesthetic pleasure can be amended to meet the requirements of the framework. We conclude that scientists can tackle fundamental questions about the nature and appreciation of art within the psycho-historical framework.

Science, art fail to jell in ‘Struck’

In August 2011, theater artist Tannis Kowalchuk suffered a massive stroke at age 45. Following a remarkable recovery, Kowalchuk turned her experience into a work of art: “Struck,” a one-hour performance piece that captures her physical, emotional and spiritual recovery.

The world premiere is a co-production of NACL Theatre, a creative laboratory where co-founder Kowalchuk is artistic director, and Cleveland Public Theatre.

As one woman’s journey from a near-death experience to a life-affirming recovery and renewal, the show is inspirational, courageous and moving. But as a work of art, it is intensely personal, enigmatic and hard to grasp.

The piece evolved from a collaborative process that combines music, song, dance, movement, narrative, science, digital art and film, and physical theater. My problem with “Struck” is that while extremely well performed and often lyrical in nature and execution, it left me mostly puzzled and clueless.

The play follows Catherine, a stroke victim who travels through a dreamscape somewhere between life and death. Along the way, she encounters a mysterious male figure (Brett Keyser) who could be her husband, an angel or a manifestation of herself.

Directed by Ker Wells, the play blends science and poetry as Catherine walks us through the process by which her brain was restoring itself. Allison Waters, a former NACL company member who is now a neuroscientist, appears as the play’s neurologist via projected imagery.

According to Kowalchuk, the play is about facing death and how memory, family and personal history can consume one’s thoughts when dealing with mortality. Memories of her Icelandic grandparents become part of her mental landscape. She describes how her grandfather died of a stroke and how an angel appeared to him before his death. In like manner, Keyser appears as an angel with snowshoes for wings to help Catherine get through the ordeal.

In the first part, Catherine grapples with her brain injury as she keeps falling and dropping her favorite flower, whose name she cannot recall. The challenges of speech and communication following a stroke are vividly depicted. Catherine recalls her husband speaking to her in what sounded like a foreign language.

I found the science of the piece fascinating and the visual imagery hauntingly mysterious. Allison describes how a baby’s brain is poised for maximal growth and change and how that rate of change slows in adulthood. “We are ever changing beings; we are plastic,” the neurologist Allison explains, is key to understanding how the human brain works.

The language is most expressive when Allison explains how Catherine’s brain has changed. Allison wants Catherine to listen to her newly rewired half-brain. “It has new things to tell you about your new world. Be open, curious; it’s a rare and wonderful opportunity to redefine what is true.”

The final section is about recovery. Catherine resumes living with a new zest and appreciation for life, including time to read the Sunday paper, play Chopin, see her son drive a car, and resolve to leave work at a reasonable hour.

The workings of the human brain remain largely shrouded in mystery. Ditto for this largely obtuse theater piece.

Art And Science On The Brain At Barbican
The Barbican Foyer will spring into life on Sunday 7 April with a multitude of drop-in activities, performances and demonstrations designed to open your mind through art and science.

From cave painting to motion sensors, eye-trackers to body illusions, you can tickle your temporal lobe (or any lobes you fancy, really) by testing your reactions and pitting your wits against brain scientists. You will even have the opportunity to knit a neuron – now how many people can say they have done that?

Overall there will be over 20 different activities over three days to excite your cerebellum, from the interactive to the educational, so it is a fantastic opportunity to explore the human brain and how it relates to many strands of human creativity — and have free fun.

Wonder Street Fair: Art and Science on the Brain takes place on Sunday 7 (12pm-6pm), Monday 8 and Tuesday 9 April (12pm-7.30pm) at Barbican Centre and is part of the Wonder: Art and Science on the Brain, a season to light up the mind, in partnership with The Wellcome Trust.
