Both art and science, Art Fair features images from under the microscope

Visitors to the Ann Arbor Art Fair saw some unusual art if they stopped by the University of Michigan Health System's booth this week.

The Bioartography Project features images of cells taken under a microscope.

Researcher Deborah Gumucio is director of the project. She says just about all of the images that doctors, post-docs and other researchers submit are incredibly beautiful, resembling abstract art.

A panel of artists sorts through and selects the best.

"We're kind of scientifically connected to the work," says Gumucio. "It's hard for us to be objective about what's beauty and what's good science, so we have the artists actually pick out which of the items are more striking, and they're usually right."

Exploring science through art
AN EXHIBITION exploring scientific concepts through arts was placed under the spotlight on Thursday, July 19, night.
Delegates from around the globe converged on the Lumley Castle Hotel, near Chester-le-Street, County Durham, for Invisible Art organised by the ITN Invisibles - the research European network working on neutrinos and dark matter.
The network includes scientists at Durham University and 11 European institutions, as well as 15 associate partners such as CERN, Tokyo University, Harvard University.
Collaborating with scientists of the ITN Invisibles, the artists produced original art pieces focussing on the science of neutrinos, the most elusive known fundamental particles, as well as mysterious dark matter and dark energy - whose origin is the most compelling question in cosmology.

The exhibition comprised paintings, sculptures, video installations.

The event was opened by Professor Sir Arnold Wolfendale FRS, who discussed the connection between art and science.

The scientists and artists involved were present to discuss questions about the science involved and how art can help in expressing highly-abstract scientific concepts.

Warfare was uncommon among hunter-gatherers: study in the US journal Science
Warfare was uncommon among hunter-gatherers, and killings among nomadic groups were often due to competition for women or interpersonal disputes, researchers in Finland said Thursday. Their study in the US journal Science suggests that the origins of war were not -- as some have argued -- rooted in roving hunter-gather groups but rather in cultures that held land and livestock and knew how to farm for food. For clues on what life was like before colonial powers, missionaries and traders entered the scene, anthropologists examined a subset of records from a well-known database that contains information on 186 cultures around the world. Douglas Fry and Patrik Soderberg of Abo Akademi University in Vasa, Finland, chose to examine only the earliest existing records on those that had no horses and no permanent settlements, leaving them with 21--

Logic is a mixed media painting, incorporating surplus scientific and military lenses glass flats and mosaic tiles. Use of a wood painting panel provides a rigid stable support for several layers of lenses. The overall appearance resembles a logical diagram, like Beysian statistics gone mad perhaps or an alien circuit. In the original, the lenses are spaced above the base layer of the painting using glass flats. This allows the optical effects to really contribute to the overall look and experience of the piece. The lenses allow the painting to subtle change when viewed from different angles.

3D-printed quilt of biological molecules is a transhumanist dystopia
Meshing 3D printing with nanotechnology and synthetic biology, he builds his works using CAD files generated using algorithms based on molecular models. They draw on information retrieved from Protein Data Bank files (where the structures of proteins and nucleic acids are recorded) and models of bits of DNA or even manmade constructs like sheets of graphene. He then uses PyMOL, an opensource visualisation system which produces high resolution 3D images of molecules, and then runs Python scripts, using algorithms to automatically generate "formal derivations" of the original. Or, as Hope explains rather hyperbolically, to "fractalise aminos off forms to perform generative crystallography, code for crazy carbon chaining".

Space art eyes creativity in tech at Smithsonian
The familiar exteriors of astronauts' space suits often hide all of the ingenuity and mechanics that are built inside the suits, which were first imagined as "wearable spacecraft."

Now a new art exhibit, "Suited for Space," opening Friday at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum, highlights the creativity behind the suits that allowed humans to explore the moon and aspire to fly farther from Earth.

X-ray images and photographs show the suits in intricate detail, said space history curator Cathleen Lewis. The museum's X-rays are the first such images ever created to study, conserve and research the nation's space suits.
You don't realize what a complex machine these are," Lewis said. But the X-rays of Alan Shepard's Apollo space suit and a 1960s prototype "allow visitors to see beyond what is visible to the naked eye, through the protective layers of the suit to see the substructures that are embedded inside."

The exhibition traces the evolution of the space suit from the early high-altitude test flight suits of the 1930s to the dawn of the space age with Mercury, Gemini, Apollo and space shuttle missions.

While technology drove much of the suit design to maintain an airtight barrier to the vacuum of space and to protect from solar radiation, fashion aesthetics of the time also played a role, Lewis said. The original Mercury seven astronaut suits were unique from all others with a silvery coating to introduce America's space explorers to the world.

"NASA had a demand to create the astronauts into a whole new corps, a non-military corps. So here was an opportunity to dress them in a new uniform ... that evokes sensibilities of that Buck Rogers imagination," she said. "All of these guys, the engineers, they grew up on science fiction. They fed it with their ideas, and they were consumers of it at the same time."

Curators are working to find ways to preserve space suits because some materials are decomposing, discoloring or becoming rigid some 50 years after they were created.

The space suit show is traveling to 10 cities through 2015, moving next to Tampa, Fla., Philadelphia and Seattle.

Two companion exhibits at the National Air and Space Museum also highlight 50 artworks added to the Smithsonian's growing space art collection over the past decade. They include portraits of astronomer Carl Sagan and astrophysicist Neal deGrasse Tyson, and a photograph of first female shuttle commander Eileen Collins by photographer Annie Leibovitz.

The museum's art collection includes 7,000 paintings, drawings, prints, posters and sculptures. Curators have been working to add more contemporary and conceptual art over the past 10 years.

Commissioned by the British Council and curated by the Arts Catalyst, Ice Lab: New Architecture and Science in Antarctica is a new international touring exhibition that illustrates how innovative contemporary architecture is enabling scientists to live and work in one of the most extreme environments on our planet. The exhibition features five imaginative designs for Antarctic research stations and opens at Architecture and Design Scotland, The Lighthouse in Glasgow from 26 July to 2 October 2013 before touring to MOSI (Museum of Science & Industry) as part of Manchester Science Festival (21 October - 6 January) and then internationally. From the newly opened British Antarctic Survey’s Halley VI Research station to the speculative Iceberg Living Station, Ice Lab gives visitors a unique view of the inspiration, ingenuity and creativity behind architecture in the coldest, windiest, driest and most isolated place on earth. The first exhibition of its kind, Ice Lab includes architectural drawings, models, photographs and films that give the visitor a sense of what it takes to live and work in Antarctica. Sources of inspiration for the projects including original drawings from Archigram’s ‘Walking City’ are on display as well as a newly commissioned light and audio work by international visual artist Torsten Lauschmann. The Glasgow-based artist has created this work in collaboration with ‘We Made That’, the exhibition’s designers. Ice Lab highlights the diverse and cutting edge science that takes place on the frozen continent: from collecting 4.5 billion year old meteorites that illuminate how the solar system was formed to drilling ice cores whose bubbles of ancient air reveal the earth’s climate history; from cutting edge astronomy amongst the world’s clearest skies to studying its Dry Valleys - the closest thing to ‘Mars on Earth’.

Blinded by Science to open at Worcester Center for Crafts

linded by Science, an exhibit of work by five regional artists all of whom are inspired by science, opens at the Krikorian Gallery of the Worcester Center for Crafts, 25 Sagamore Road, on Thursday, August 1 during the Craft Center’s annual extravaganza, HOT NIGHT IN THE CITY. Blinded by Science will be on view through September 14, 2013. Artists represented in the show include Carrie Crane, Linda Huey of Boston/New York State, Deanna Leamon of Worcester, Michelle Lougee of Cambridge, and Guhapriya Ranganthan of Wayland. The exhibit is being organized by guest curator Carrie Crane and emerges from Carrie and the Craft Center’s interest in the intersection of art and science. Carrie, a recipient of a 2012 Worcester Arts Council grant, was artist in residence in Arshad Kudrolli’s Materials Physics Lab at Clark University for the past year collaborating with researchers, developing a body of work, and sharing her creative process. The Craft Center’s disciplines of glass, metals, photography, and ceramics all engage science properties in their processes. “There is a lot of interest in this area of cross-disciplinary collaboration, involving visual, performing and literary arts and a wide range of scientific research. I am a strong believer that both the researcher and the artist can benefit from collaboration, the scientist providing the artist with a rich palette of knowledge to feed their imagination and the artist providing the scientist insight into a creative process that may feed their research,“ said Carrie, “I wanted to bring more exposure in Worcester to this art/science movement.” The work resulting from her time spent in the Clark University Physics Lab will be on view in the exhibit and explores the patterns created by the packing of spherical shapes.
