These pieces are about the way we imagine the scientific future now – both through scientific and science fiction writing. Aluminium plates have been marked with phrases from famous scientists and science fiction writers. The series explores how we can reach the future through a mixture of cold, hard science and creative thinking.
Animals inspire our imaginations. Whether they fly, swim, crawl, wriggle or walk, we are endlessly fascinated with the creatures of our world.
Over the last 300 years their dazzling diversity has been described with increasing precision through scientific illustrations. Museum Victoria's archive of artworks, working drawings and rare books traces the development of scientific art and provides a glimpse into a world of uncommon beauty.
Over the years, changing technologies have provided new ways of discovering and interpreting the world. Digital imaging and computer re-creation have expanded the artist's tool kit, but they have not entirely replaced traditional techniques. The eye, the mind and the hand are still the essential tools for scientific illustration.
The Art of Science is a travelling exhibition from Museum Victoria. Check the tour schedule for all venues and dates.

An ambitious expedition to study ocean trash launched from Seward on June 7. The Gyre project is a collaboration between the Anchorage Museum and the Alaska SeaLife Center, among other organizations, to document the impact of marine debris along Alaska’s shoreline – and across the globe.
The project began when a team of sixteen marine biologists, educators, and artists boarded a research vessel to collect data and materials along the Kenai Peninsula. What they find will become part of an exhibit at the Anchorage Museum this winter.
Alaskans have been thinking about marine debris lately, thanks to all the trash washing up on the state’s coastline after the 2011 tsunami in Japan. The Anchorage Museum’s Julie Decker will get a first hand look at that trash this week, although it’s not the kind the kind of thing she usually does for her job as the museum’s chief curator.
“This has been fascinating,” she said. “This has been an education for me, for the artists, for the scientists to talk to the artists.”

An elementary school in Eagan, Minn., plans to open a technology lab with 3D printers and a laser etcher to combine art with the principles of science, technology, engineering and math. Last month, fifth-graders tried some of the new tools to carve a Vikings logo and create trinkets. "We teach in a demonstrational way, and this is the next step," principal Jeff Holten said.
In this public lecture, Jane Wang will explore the connection between two themes:
1. Understanding nature's solutions to the Navier-Stokes (fluid dynamics) equations for locomotion
2. Understanding our own response to the poetic movement of falling and flying objects.
The talk will start with a music dialogue between the rhythm of falling paper and the sounds of a prepared piano. Jane will then discuss puzzles and mathematics about the dynamics of falling paper and the tricks used by insects to fly.
The music piece will be performed together with pianist Annie Lewandowski.
Both the talk and the performance will be improvised in response to the atrium space in the Fields Institute.
The SEAD network is interested in learning more about published studies in which math, science and engineering education is integrated with music, art, dance, theater, literature, poetry, creative writing and/or design education in either formal or informal settings, K-12 through professional schooling.
We are particularly interested in studies that have formally evaluated educational outcomes resulting from the integration of SEAD subjects. These outcomes include, but are not limited to: skill and knowledge acquisition and transfer; problem finding; standardized test scores; classroom success; visual imaging, pattern recognition, empathizing and modeling ability; measures of creativity; etc.

Artist Sebastian is exhibiting his new work, “Cuantica,” in Mexico City, offering visitors “the possibility of achieving an understanding of the universe.”
The exhibition at Galeria Oscar Roman features a series of bronze sculptures with geometric forms, such as cylinders, cones and spheres.
The artist, whose real name is Enrique Carbajal, was born in Chihuahua in 1947.
Science and aesthetics are not opposing elements and can be combined to create “a work of art,” Sebastian told Efe.
“I am a sculptor. I am not a specialist in geometry or a mathematician, but I have a passion (for mathematics and science),” Sebastian said, adding that he had spent his career focusing “on the art-science relationship, on the question of geometry-mathematics.”
“Cuantica,” which will be on display until July 5, is explained, at the request of the sculptor, in an essay penned by mathematicians Isidoro Gitler, Ernesto Lupercio, Yvonne Mondragon and Enrique Reyes, who describe the pieces and their mathematical relationships, as well as touching on the topics of beauty and sculpture.

http://www.pik-potsdam.de/news/in-short/kunst-und-wissenschaft-zu-g... Art and science met in „climate city“ Bremerhaven
06/17/2013 - For two weekends, climate was in the center of attention in Bremerhaven. The festival ODYSSEE: KLIMA of the city theater Bremerhaven presented a number of artists and scientists, among them some experts from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research to introduce their projects.
The festival examined the subject in an exchange between artists, scientists and visitors. Within the broad range of performances and talks, PIK-scientists presented different projects in a “climate tent city” in front of the theater. Thomas Kartschall gave visitors an introduction to the platform KlimafolgenOnline.com. The website enables citizens and decision-makers to get information on climate impacts in different regions in Germany. Bernd Hezel presented the “Climate Media Factory” – scientifically accurate yet comprehensible and entertaining animations, documentaries and interactive web-products, developed by an interdisciplinary team of media professionals and climate scientists. Children who wanted to examine climate change by themselves could do so with the play “The little climate princess” by Eva Rahner and Jakob Runge.
The festival ODYSSEE: KLIMA was supported by the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Maritime Research, the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, the „climate city“ Bremerhaven, the „Klimahaus 8° Ost“, the environmental protection office of Bremerhaven, BIS, the Community Cinema Bremerhaven, “Forum Diskurs Dramaturgie” and the International Theatre Institute.

But science students and faculty who frequent the center see the artwork as a creative rendering of the Periodic Table of Elements, which provides a key framework for studying chemistry.

It is a work of art.
And yet, and in ways we are about to explain, it is in its way an immortalisation of an actual beetle that once blundered about in Gates-Stuart's garden at Royalla. She came across it, wanted to use it for artistic and scientific purposes,
the monster Christmas beetle is a 3D version, much enlarged, of the actual Royalla beetle. It was made using a novel 3D scanning system and then was printed out using a CSIRO 3D printer

Synapse: a Selection Presented by ISEA2013, the Australian Network for Art & Technology (ANAT) and the Powerhouse Museum
A selection of works from ANAT’s residency program Synapse provides a snapshot of the diverse and fascinating research created by participating artists and scientists.
Artists and scientists approach creativity, exploration and research in different ways and from different perspectives; when working together they open up new ways of seeing, experiencing and interpreting the world around us. For the past decade the Synapse initiative has provided over 30 Australian artists with the opportunity to pursue speculative creative research projects with scientists and medical researchers in Australia and beyond. This exhibition provides a snapshot of the diverse and fascinating research that participating artists and scientists have pursued over the past five years. Curator: Vicki Sowry www.anat.org.au

CALL FOR PROPOSALS: ANTIATLAS
The antiAtlas of borders is a transdisciplinary event that will take place 30 September 2013 - 1 March 2014
. Bypassing cartography and at the crossroads of research and art, it offers a new approach to the mutations of borders and how they are experienced by people in the 21st century. The objective of antiAtlas is to decompartmentalize fields of knowledge to bring artists, human scientists, hard scientists and professionals together through an international symposium open to researchers, institutional actors and the public at large. The event will also include an art-science exhibition at the Mus?e des Tapisseries in Aix en Provence, an art-science exhibition at La Compagnie in Marseille, an artistic and scientific web site and an art-science printed volume. Deadline for proposals: 30 June 2013.

The Art of Science
Until July 21
Art Gallery of Ballarat
FOR MORE than 300 years, humans have captured the diversity of creatures through scientific illustration.
This month, Ballarat art lovers will have the chance to explore the evolution of scientific art in the travelling exhibition The Art of Science.
The touring exhibition from Museum Victoria features drawings, photographs, digital media and rare books which offer a glimpse of beauty produced over centuries of scientific observation and illustration.
Exhibition curator John Kean said The Art of Science presented the process of observing the natural world and translating that vision into realistic and artistic works.

Art and science met in „climate city“ Bremerhaven
06/17/2013 - For two weekends, climate was in the center of attention in Bremerhaven. The festival ODYSSEE: KLIMA of the city theater Bremerhaven presented a number of artists and scientists, among them some experts from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research to introduce their projects.
The festival examined the subject in an exchange between artists, scientists and visitors. Within the broad range of performances and talks, PIK-scientists presented different projects in a “climate tent city” in front of the theater. Thomas Kartschall gave visitors an introduction to the platform KlimafolgenOnline.com. The website enables citizens and decision-makers to get information on climate impacts in different regions in Germany. Bernd Hezel presented the “Climate Media Factory” – scientifically accurate yet comprehensible and entertaining animations, documentaries and interactive web-products, developed by an interdisciplinary team of media professionals and climate scientists. Children who wanted to examine climate change by themselves could do so with the play “The little climate princess” by Eva Rahner and Jakob Runge.
The festival ODYSSEE: KLIMA was supported by the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Maritime Research, the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, the „climate city“ Bremerhaven, the „Klimahaus 8° Ost“, the environmental protection office of Bremerhaven, BIS, the Community Cinema Bremerhaven, “Forum Diskurs Dramaturgie” and the International Theatre Institute.

Non-scientists might be forgiven for looking at the jumble of giant graphic letters across from the chemistry labs at East Stroudsburg University's Warren E. and Sandra Hoeffner Science and Technology Center and thinking that the alphabet got caught in a hurricane.
But science students and faculty who frequent the center see the artwork as a creative rendering of the Periodic Table of Elements, which provides a key framework for studying chemistry.

Beetle mania larger than life
beautiful beetle, a vision in iridescent blue (eerily, identical to the blue of the gown Emma Matthews wore at last week's launch of Voices In The Forest) and 40 times the size of the real Summer-blundering members of its species and made of heavy titanium will never go a'blundering. It is a work of art.
And yet, and in ways we are about to explain, it is in its way an immortalisation of an actual beetle that once blundered about in Gates-Stuart's garden at Royalla. She came across it, wanted to use it for artistic and scientific purposes,
the monster Christmas beetle is a 3D version, much enlarged, of the actual Royalla beetle. It was made using a novel 3D scanning system and then was printed out using a CSIRO 3D printer

Set up in 2008 as a space where art and science collide, Science Gallery has attracted over 1 million visitors to date to 26 exhibitions – ranging from living art experiments to materials science and from the future of the human race to the future of play. Primarily oriented towards young adults between the ages of 15 and 25 years old, Science Gallery says it focuses on “providing programmes and experiences that allow visitors to participate and facilitate social connections, always providing an element of surprise”.
The Wellcome Trust’s pledge of continued support will enable Science Gallery and TBSI to introduce joint artist in residency programmes and investigate the development of a ‘wet lab’ research area within TBSI to assist in its ability to deliver specific ‘lab in the gallery’ experiences for visitors.

Semipermeable (+)
Presented by ISEA2013, SymbioticA and the Powerhouse Museum.
Semipermeable (+) looks at the membrane as a site, metaphor and platform for a series of artistic interventions and projects, some commissioned specifically for the exhibition and others selected from the many projects developed at SymbioticA (an artistic laboratory located within the School of Anatomy, Physiology and Human Biology, University of Western Australia) since 2000.
Curator: Oron Catts
SymbioticA brings together 15 artists from different disciplines to present, culturally articulate and re-visit, metaphorically and actually, the notion of the membrane – from Protocells, infection and DNA through skins and garments to borders and state control.

Synapse: a Selection
Presented by ISEA2013, the Australian Network for Art & Technology (ANAT) and the Powerhouse Museum
A selection of works from ANAT’s residency program Synapse provides a snapshot of the diverse and fascinating research created by participating artists and scientists.
Artists and scientists approach creativity, exploration and research in different ways and from different perspectives; when working together they open up new ways of seeing, experiencing and interpreting the world around us. For the past decade the Synapse initiative has provided over 30 Australian artists with the opportunity to pursue speculative creative research projects with scientists and medical researchers in Australia and beyond. This exhibition provides a snapshot of the diverse and fascinating research that participating artists and scientists have pursued over the past five years.

artist gets the chemistry right
A CONCOCTION of chemicals combined with clay creates a unique body of work by a Sunderland student who is breaking the traditional mould in ceramics and glass.
exhibition consists of five glass tanks which contain ceramic materials, where chemicals react together with copper and clay to produce different reactions, it's quite performance based.
Investigating the relationship between degeneration, deterioration and the sustainability of growth through experimentation with the inherent qualities of ceramic materials is the key here. Exploring a diverse range of materials, showcasing the development of the natural growth within a confined environment which creates a fluctuating palate of texture and colour."
