The one-day installation, Final Bloom, has been created exclusively for the BIID Conference, “Design Invention: Art and Science Collide”. It is an attempt to highlight the collision between art and science, and also questions the individual's role and responsibility in art and its sacred relationship to nature.

Photo51 Celebrates A Landmark In Genetics By Mixing Science And Art
It’s been 60 years since the structure of DNA was first discovered, thus heralding a new era in science, the propagation of genetics and the many medical advances that followed. Though Watson and Crick are usually credited with its discovery, Wilkins, Gosling and Franklin at King’s College London also played an important role in uncovering DNA’s structure.

This exhibition both looks back across history, to the future and provides an artistic twist to genetics as well. Part of the historical context is provided by Christine Donnier-Valentin’s modern day photographs of the old labs in the basement of King’s College London. The labs themselves and the equipment within is well preserved despite their antiquity.

Also present are copies of the original x-ray crystallography images that helped scientists see at a greater magnification level and identify that DNA has a double helix structure. Both these images and of the lab may feel dated by modern scientific standards, but their historical significance is a window into one of science’s most important discoveries.

Shelley James has taken the structure of DNA as an inspiration to work with glass blowers to produce homages, signifying the delicacy of imaging techniques and the transparency that this discovery brought to science.

The star of this show is Marcus Lyon and his use of scientific imagery to create artworks – whether it be a contoured map made up of zebrafish brain scans or bright circular patterns made from the process used for identifying genetic profiles.

Pictures of jars that we see as indecipherably labelled and photographs of lab benches stacked with equipment and substance, can be seen as real world versions of Damien Hirst’s medicine cabinet. One room even has a mock lab bench where a slightly de-tuned radio plays chart music as if a researcher has only just stepped away.

This is an inventive mix of science and art, in yet another exhibition space within Somerset House, and it’s a fitting tribute to a truly revolutionary scientific discovery.

Inspired by the dream of space exploration, artist Katie Paterson imagined sending a piece of her meteorite artwork back to space in a celebration of science, art and human technology. Her vision may just become reality, with a little help from ESA’s can-do cargo vessel.

Paterson’s installation, Campo del Cielo, Field of the Sky, is on display at the UK’s prestigious Turner Contemporary gallery this summer, and features a 4.5 billion-year-old meteorite that has been cast, melted and recast as a model of itself, retaining its original form.

Modern science to modern art
microbiologist-turned-artist Chris Lindsay
After decades of scientific research, Lindsay, 62, presents his first solo art show since graduating from the University of Victoria’s master of fine arts program this spring.
“Science and art, I think, are part of the same expression,” Lindsay said in an interview at the gallery.

“We do art to generate a new experience, a new thought. … Through that, we learn about ourselves in this place and in relation to everything around us. And I think science is doing exactly the same thing.”

http://www.smh.com.au/afl/afl-news/its-been-a-big-week-in-art-with-...
There is one Creation-versus-Science debate that scientists should lose. And that's when the focus turns to art.

Debunking popularly-held beliefs about art's mysteries benefits no-one.

For 100 years art lovers were happy to believe Edvard Munch's own words regarding his most famous work, "The clouds were stained red, as if with blood. I felt as though the whole of nature was screaming - it seemed as though I could hear a scream."

Then in 2003 some pesky astronomers announced that it was not Munch's mental state but a volcanic eruption in Indonesia that turned the Northern European sky red.

Call for expressions of interest
The Biogenic Timestamp Project is funded by the Creative Partnerships with Asia program of the Arts Funding Division, Australia Council for the Arts. This project is a collaboration between Australia and JapanĄŊs leading Biological Art labs and practitioners. It proposes to research and develop an ecological and biological art project and conduct workshops in three different sites - metaPhorest in Tokyo, SymbioticA in Perth and the Hamersley Range in the Pilbara. SymbioticA is seeking expressions of interest from Australian artists who if selected will be invited to join Oron Catts and Ionat Zurr to co-develop the research project commencing late 2013. The successful Artist will be offered a fee and travel expenses to Japan and the Pilbara.

This project is an artistic, multidisciplinary and trans-cultural exploration conceptualising deep time and the notion of time as an instrument for humility, in the context of our profound and accelerating impact on EarthĄŊs landscape and ecology. Specifically it will connect and enable exchanges and dialogue between artists, theorists and scientists from geographical areas that are profoundly marked by the meeting of our Ą°biogenicĄą (biological) past and future: from Western AustraliaĄŊs Pilbara iron ore mines to labs in Japan, where new manipulation of living systems promise vast profits. We will draw on the cultural legacy of mining and biotech industries and reflect on the impact of increasingly drastic (biological) methods to extract Ą°depositsĄą from the earth.

Experimental BioArt Projects: Not Invented by Nature
With the emergence of Synthetic Biology, a scientific discipline aiming at the standardization of biological parts for the targeted generation of organisms with new, naturally not occurring features is gaining more and more scientific as well as public attention. Discoveries and inventions in the field of Synthetic Biology bear an enormous potential for the understanding of the living world and the development of processes and products for medicine and technology. The societal changes originating from such advances, however, are neither anticipated nor reflected in scientific approaches to this issue. Thus, the project aims at introducing artists to the technical methodology of Synthetic Biology and to uncover common aspects for a critical assessment of societal and cultural aspects of this emerging discipline.

Science meets the arts in a new exhibition at Imperial , UK
An exhibition which aims to blur the boundaries between art and science is on display at Imperial's Main Entrance on Exhibition Road until 13 July.
This summer’s exhibition is the fruition of a series of networking events hosted by Artifact to bring people from the scientific and artistic worlds together to collaborate in pairs, or groups to create unique artworks. A selection of the work created, including designs for the 'perfect plant' and representations of scientific data from earthquakes, will be on display this week and next.
“This exhibition is the result of several months of collaborations between artists and scientists from Imperial and arts colleges around London. All year we have held workshops and inspirational talks, whilst building a network of collaborative partners for this exhibition and hopefully well into the future. has been incredibly eye-opening to work with artists and see their interpretation of our research interests, but also to look at our own work from a completely different angle too.""– Adam Funnell

Penn State Forensic Science Program invites Arts Fest visitors to solve mystery
During the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts, the Forensic Science Program of Penn State invites visitors to join an interactive crime scene investigator experience to solve "the Mystery of the Purloined Art." Penn State forensic scientists will provide hands-on training to help participants find, collect and process evidence to identify the perpetrators who pilfered the precious art of Dr. Balke Ketchum, a forensic facial reconstructionist. In this self-paced workshop, visitors will learn the real techniques used to process a crime scene, analyze the evidence and make a case for "whodunit." Visitors may work as a team with friends or family or they may compete against each other to see who solves the mystery first.

To participate, interested crime solvers may visit Spruce Cottage on the Penn State campus anytime between 1 and 3 p.m. Friday, July 12, or from 9 to 11 a.m. Saturday.  Proceeds benefit the Forensic Science Student Club to support student travel to professional conferences.

To learn science, add art with Science&Art@School
Many scientists see intellectual as well as aesthetic beauty in their research. Now an education project from the CMS collaboration is harnessing artistic beauty to inspire students about the science of particle physics.

CMS physicist and artist Michael Hoch recently launched the Science&Art @ School project to engage students with stories from particle physics, which he hopes will help them to re-see the natural world in aesthetic as well as scientifically accurate ways. Hoch says that artistic methods can lead students to a deeper understanding of the beauty, value and transformative power of science. "I believe that essential aspects of our research here at CERN can be viewed as beautiful artistic creations," he says.

The first Science&Art @ School workshop took place in Graz, Austria, from 5-7 June, bringing together 62 students from two high schools nearby: Graz International Bilingual School (GIBS) and BORG

“There’s math concepts in there; there’s science concepts in there,” Trenholm said, adding that other lessons about water included measuring the PH of different kinds of water, such as water from Coal Creek, bottled water and tap water.

Trenholm also demonstrated art projects. One of them was placing color on hard gelatin molds, positioning cut-outs of different shapes on the molds and placing white paper over them to create prints.

Emmy-nominated astronomer to discuss using art to attract people to science

Writing and experimenting
In Britain’s often ill-tempered culture wars where—like Twain scientists and literary intellectuals are destined never to meet, Sunetra Gupta is among the exceptions: a well-known scientist and an equally well-known writer. She has just been honoured for her contribution to science but through the medium of art!

Professor Gupta was among a select group of female scientists whose specially commissioned portrait sketches were shown at the Royal Society’s "Great Women in Science’’ show as part of its prestigious summer science exhibition in London. A rare honour, it confirmed her status as a true representative of C. P. Snow’s "two cultures" _ someone who is able so effortlessly to straddle the perceived gap between science and art.

Like Snow, she doesn’t see a division between art and science and believes that they are simply different ways of expressing ideas.

"A mathematical equation can be as beautiful as a Keats’ poem," she said in a BBC interview.

Asked whether she saw herself primarily as a scientist or a novelist, Prof Gupta, who has written five novels one of which was long listed for the Orange Prize, replied: "I think of myself as both. What I want to do is to shed some sort of light—some minor illumination—on human condition. I use different languages to explore it. I think certain languages are more appropriate like the language of mathematics for understanding the physical world—and other languages such as poetry are more appropriate when you are trying to understand what’s going on inside yourself."

Her inclusion in the art show was specifically a recognition of her achievements as a woman scientist in an environment that is not exactly friendly to female professionals.
