CERN artist-in-residence develops ear for physics

Sound artist Bill Fontana taps into the music of the Large Hadron Collider.
- For someone with the knack for hearing music in machinery, the CERN complex is a veritable playground of sound.

Fontana heard the first strains of the Large Hadron Collider’s music in January 2013 when he made a four-day introductory visit. Koek, who managed the visit, recalls Fontana’s giddy enthusiasm. His first question: “What’s this machine and can I listen to it?”

The LHC is currently undergoing repairs, but when Fontana visited for the first time, it was still running, whirring, banging and buzzing.

During the whirlwind introduction, Fontana spent some time at the starting point of the LHC. There, atoms of hydrogen are stripped of their electrons so only positively charged protons remain. An electric field begins to accelerate the protons while a series of magnets focus them into a beam.

Fontana recorded the sounds. The popping, tapping dance beat of the protons’ regular release is underlaid with the hiss of cooling water and the heavy clang of the magnets charging and discharging.

According to Koek, Fontana listened to the proton source for a moment, and then handed his headphones to Detlef Kuchler, the physicist who prepares the protons and launches them on their journey. Kuchler has run the machine for 15 years, starting when it was a component of the accelerator that preceded the LHC.

When Fontana slipped headphones over Kuchler’s ears, his eyes widened, and he laughed, Koek recalls with a smile.

“The picture on Detlef’s face was astounding,” she says. “This was his baby—and it looked as if he had just heard it crying for the first time.

The Art of Science: Peter Trevelyan’s Delicate Geometry

http://www.tinekecreations.com/en/events/immortal-breath-exhibition
Melody Smith Gallery + Projects presents ‘Immortal Breath’ an exhibition of new work by artist Tineke Van der Eecken. Using the process of plastination, Van der Eecken prepares the lungs for a technique called ‘corrosion casting’ during a residency at SymbioticA. The beauty and fragility of the lungs is perfectly preserved and then replicated in silver and adorned with semi-precious gems in intricately detailed silver bracelets, earrings, rings and pendants. Immortal Breath will also feature a suite of heavily atmospheric and beautiful photographic works, which serve to illuminate the entirety of the artistic process, including the research and development phase of the project. Immortal Breath offers a poignant and thoughtful perspective on themes of mortality and beauty.

The exhibition opens Friday 9 August 6pm - guest speaker Oron Catts, Director of SymbioticA.
Date: 22-07-2013 Venue: Melody Smith Gallery, 69 Oats Street, East Victoria Park

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 Japan's 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 Earth's 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 "biogenic" (biological) past and future: from Western Australia's 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 "deposits" from the earth.

-Closing date for EOIs is the 15th of August 2013.
-We'll accept up to one page of text plus artist's CV.
-Each of the labs will be between a week and 10 days. At this stage we are looking at the following:

Pilbara - second half of October 2013
Tokyo - end of February/beginning of March 2014
SymbioticA - TBC: The Australian artists selected will need to negotiate a short research period at SymbioticA.

artist Patricia Laspino shows her orchids at 'Art of Awareness' in Orange
Branford artist Patricia Laspino and her husband, Andrew, have taken infatuation with the flower to a new level, both in her efforts to capture them in her stunning, layered works, 32 of which are currently on display through Sept. 14 at The Davis Gallery, 200 Boston Post Road in Orange, and their work through the Orchid Alliance Project-Bridging Science and Art, which they founded eight years ago and involves scholarly research with such organizations as the Smithsonian Institution.
Their interest is both aesthetic and scientific. Patricia calls the flower “the icon of evolution,” and they both consider it “the canary in the mine” for topical subjects such as climate change and adaptation and endangered species, not to mention that its diverse locales and historical significance in some societies make it a kind of global goodwill ambassador.
You can see things in a completely different way by bridging arts and science,” Patricia says. “We look for information and material from the science world, and by working with those kinds of people, it changes me as an artist and how I see the world. It’s an incredible project and interesting exploration, one that I feel I’m connected to for the rest of my life.”

A Case for STEAM: Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics

STEAM adds the Arts to STEM.  Manya, The Living History of Marie Curie is a model of teaching STEM through the Art of dramatic narrative. Sometimes I am asked why, as an engineer-turned-playwright, I have chosen to teach science through story. Isn’t it more efficient just to present the facts?

Here’s my response: Why bake a cake with flour, sugar, and salt? Isn’t it less work just to eat the ingredients separately? Here, chow down on this cup of flour. Would you like a pinch of salt? Raw egg anyone? From our first birthday cake to any celebratory occasion, we’ve all experienced this well-known fact: Ingredients combined well and baked together taste better than the same ingredients by themselves.

The objectives of the STEAM movement are to:

• transform research policy to place Art + Design at the center of STEM
• encourage integration of Art + Design in K–20 education
• influence employers to hire artists and designers to drive innovation

How does theater and storytelling fit within STEAM? Humans depend upon narrative to create meaning out of our existence. In fact, our survival as a species hinges on our ability to tell, share and remember stories, data, and knowledge.

According to Kendall Haven, “For 100,000 years, humans have relied on story structure to archive and to communicate key history, knowledge, facts, beliefs, concepts, and attitudes This has evolutionarily rewired human brains to automatically think, understand, and remember through stories.”

Alternatively one might ask: Why cloud a good storyline with facts about chemistry and physics? Doesn’t that get in the way of the drama?

A well-told science story has all the hooks of a brilliant mystery or whodunit. A question is posed. Facts are revealed in an order that allows the audience to gradually assemble a picture of a whole and, by investing a suitable amount of concentration, follow developments. The context builds anticipation. As listeners/viewers, we get to feel smart, discovering one piece at a time. In the case of science drama, we, the audience, become scientists. As our emotional involvement brings us to care about the main characters, we experience vicariously the rush that comes with discovering something new.

And if questions remain at the closing scene, we walk away charged with a mission. Our lives become a next step in millennia of human discovery.

What’s a QR Code Doing on That Blanket?
Artist Guillermo Bert is weaving together technology and Native American tradition

For Guillermo Bert, an artist in Los Angeles, it was a revelation: Looking at the patterns in Native American blankets and tapestries, he saw a resemblance to QR (Quick Response) codes, the pixelated boxes that can be scanned with a smartphone to link to a web page or reveal a brief piece of text. The QR boxes, the artist says, are also “associated with identification,” a fixture on boarding passes, business cards and the like. What if indigenous groups across the Americas could tell their stories by combining modern QR codes with traditional symbols? “These cultures have beautiful tapestries,” says Bert. “They’re all different, but they share a similar aesthetic.” His insight led to “Encoded Textiles,” a project that will soon be unveiled at galleries and museums worldwide. Though he was inspired by the North American textiles, Bert traveled first to his native Chile, where he contacted members of the indigenous tribes known collectively as the Mapuche (from mapu, “of the land,” and che, “people”). They are the only indigenous group in the Americas that waged a successful military resistance against both the Incan Empire and Spanish conquistadors, and they retained their independence until the late 19th century, when the Chilean government moved them onto reservations. Today, as younger generations assimilate into mainstream culture, Mapuche dialects and oral histories are disappearing.

Fall exhibitions bring lots of interesting ideas to the museum this season with two exhibitions centered on the intersections of art and science, one on community connections to our permanent collection, and another on the many possibilities of working with line, as an element of expression.

Intimate Science September 7 - December 7

Intimate Science examines how networked communication and open source culture have contributed to the shift from artists aiding science to "doing" science, and the impact this imparts on the way scientific knowledge is acquired, used and shared. The exhibit is curated by Andrea Grover and organized by the Miller Gallery at Carnegie Mellon University.

A Continuous Mark: Huguette Despault May & Kathleen Elliot September 14 - December 14

This exhibition combines the two-dimensional drawings and photography of Hugeuette May in the same space with Kathleen Elliot's three-dimensional glass sculptures in order to investigate the many "dimensions" of line. Line, a continuous mark, is an elemental part of all visual communication used exquisitely by both of these artists.

Gumbo: Connecting Community & Collections September 14 - December 7

This exhibition engages people from all walks of life in Acadiana to select an artwork from the Hilliard's permanent collection. Each person uses their own perspective and history to write a brief rationale for their choice of object.

Earth as Art: Landsat images from the NASA Program
August 17 - November 16

Images photographed by NASA's Landsat satellite camera provide a unique resource for global change research and applications in agriculture, cartography, geology, forestry, regional planning, surveillance and education. Many of these images have also been likened to abstract art produced by twentieth century artists. We explore the perceptions of artistry in these satellite images while learning something about the scientific use of such visually interesting snap-shots from space.

iam8bit designs functional pop-art satellite

Clyde Space was tasked with building the satellite, which will be used to monitor atmospheric conditions and transmit images from a height of 373 miles above the Earth.
The combination of science, technology, and art – while normally relegated to science fiction and other creative works that combine the three disciplines primarily for entertainment purposes – is set to take a new turn, as spacecraft manufacturer Clyde Space, and iam8bit art gallery in Los Angeles have collaborated in the development of a functioning pop-art satellite.

Clyde Space was tasked with building the satellite, which will be used to monitor atmospheric conditions and transmit images from a height of 373 miles above the Earth. Jon Gibson and Amanda White, co-curators of the art gallery iam8bit, used computer aided design software to shape the satellite to look like an electrical charger orbiting the Earth. Gibson and White could not paint the satellite, as the ensuing gas from the deterioration of the paint could fog the satellite’s camera.

After the design was completed, the Clyde Space-iam8bit collaboration was fitted to the shoebox-sized satellite, which was filled with antennae, wires, sensors, solar panels, and sensitive equipment. On the satellite, iam8bit fashioned images of computer buttons, a USB port, and etched the words “Greetings Beleaguered Space Traveler. Welcome to the Universe’s First Celestial Charging Station” onto a side of the satellite.

Local artist Sharon Rajnus is the artist of the month in Favell Museum throughout August, according to a news release.

Rajnus was an artist before learning to fly in the 1970s and credits her training in science, biology and art as the foundation for current work.

With a family history, which includes engineering at Lockheed during World War II, aviation has been a foundation as well. Flying experiences with her husband in Canada and Alaska led to interest in using those places as locations for paintings. These are created in oil or watercolor for galleries, exhibitions, commissions and illustrations.

Her recent book “Stars of the Sky,” with Ann Cooper as the author, includes Rajnus’ illustrations of 50 Women in Aviation through the ages. Her artwork can be seen in many collections, including EAA, National Museum of Naval Aviation, NOAA and the National Park Service.

The museum is at 125 W. Main St. and admission to the art gallery part of the museum is free. Museum hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.

Rutgers University commissions physicist turned sculptor

Sculptor Julian Voss-Andreae has been commissioned by Rutgers University to create an original sculpture to celebrate its new Center for Integrative Proteomics Research (CIPR) and to honor its founding director, Dr. Helen M. Berman. Rutgers, one of the top research universities in North America, is a world leader in bio-medical research. Voss-Andreae’s 20-foot, 3,200-pound polished stainless steel and colored glass sculpture, ‘Synergy,’ is based on the collagen molecule. The monument will be formally unveiled at Rutgers in late September, coinciding with a symposium honoring the career and contributions of Dr. Berman. Collagen, the most abundant protein in humans, provides structure to the body by forming long molecular ropes that strengthen the tendons and vast, resilient sheets that support the skin and internal organs. Collagen also serves as pathway for cellular movement during development and growth. Explains Dr. Kenneth J. Breslauer, Dean, Division of Life Sciences, and Vice President, Health Science Partnerships, “Dr. Berman determined the first high-resolution, three-dimensional atomic structure of the collagen molecule.” He adds, “Rutgers has a long history in protein and collagen research. Today, the university houses the largest public domain repository of 3D structures of proteins, the Protein Data Bank (PDB). This unique global resource enables biomedical research throughout the world.” Voss-Andreae has been using the structural data provided by Protein Data Bank since creating his first protein sculpture in 2001. No stranger to molecular biology, Voss-Andreae, himself, is a scientist—turned sculptor. Voss-Andreae studied physics, mathematics and philosophy at the Universities of Berlin, Edinburgh and Vienna, pursuing his graduate research in quantum physics. The sculptor began as a painter, then changed course to move into science.." Voss-Andreae’s subject matter is not limited to the scientific world, yet his background in science has clearly been an influence. In very different work, the sculptor has focused on such time-honored themes as the human figure—with a modern twist. He created ‘Quantum Man' (2007), an audience's favorite at the Maryhill Museum of Art in Goldendale, Washington. The stylized human walker almost disappears when the viewer moves past the sculpture fashioned from parallel slices of thin steel. Julian Voss-Andreae is a German sculptor based in Portland, Oregon. Starting out as a painter he later changed course and studied physics, mathematics, and philosophy at the Universities of Berlin, Edinburgh and Vienna. Voss-Andreae pursued his graduate research in quantum physics, participating in a seminal experiment considered one of the modern milestones of unifying our everyday intuition with the famously bizarre world of quantum physics. He moved to the United States to study Sculpture at the Pacific Northwest College of Art from where he graduated in 2004. Voss-Andreae’s work has quickly gained critical attention. His sculpture, often inspired by his background in science, has captured the attention of multiple institutions and collectors in the U.S. and abroad. Recent institutional commissions include large-scale outdoor monuments for the University of Minnesota and Rutgers University (New Jersey). Voss-Andreae's work has been featured in print and broadcast media worldwide.

GENSPACE: THE MACHINE BODY
Genspace, New York City?s Community Biolab, will be hosting The Machine Body, a talk by bio-artist duo Revital Cohen and Tuur Van Balen on Monday, 19 August 2013. Cohen and Van Balen run a London-based experimental practice that produces objects, photographs, performances and videos exploring the tensions between biology and technology. Inspired by designer species, composed wilderness and mechanical organs, they set out to create posthuman bodies, bespoke metabolisms, unnatural animals and poetic machines. In their presentation, the artists will give an overview of their recent work, exploring tensions between biology and technology at various scales.

Think Tank, EcoTarium team for fall classes
This September, small groups of children, most of them middle-school age and home-schooled, will begin learning in a different kind of classroom.

Their new classroom will blend art and science in a rare way and take advantage of one of Worcester's gems, long noted for education: the EcoTarium, on Harrington Way.

Art Biology, CSI Wild Worcester, Art/Space Exploration and Applied Digital Photography are being offered for 10 to 12 weeks to students 9 to 12 (digital photography is offered to older students and adults from the community).

The courses will also take advantage of the significant resources of the EcoTarium, not your usual schoolroom advantages: a planetarium, a living wildlife collection and a building full of science and nature exhibits are the stuff that's usually only offered on a one-off class trip.

THE ART OF SCIENCE: REMARKABLE NATURAL HISTORY ILLUSTRATIONS FROM MUSEUM VICTORIA
By John Kean
Museum Victoria

This beautiful book opens with 17th- and 18th-century illustrations from the early days of modern natural history, some of which, like the seven-headed hydra, point back to the fabulous bestiaries of earlier times; other work from overseas includes prints from Audubon's The Birds of America, and one from Edward Lear: a magnificent eagle owl, sans pussycat.

Most illustrations, however, are from Australian artists. John Gould is here, as well as Baldwin Spencer and Neville Cayley, whose son, also Neville, went on to produce What Bird Is That? Some of the images speak directly to the child within: there's a poster from the late 19th century depicting insectivorous birds of Victoria, the forebear of the posters seen in schools ever since, and a section from comic-book artist Vernon Hayles' mural of prehistoric animals that used to be the first thing you saw in the old museum.

Photography has encroached on the documentary functions of scientific art, and magnified insect heads are duly included, along with butterfly eggs. But painters such as Peter Trusler and Frank Knight are still needed to imagine extinct species, and the book is well rounded out with pieces from artists such as Kate Nolan and Rhyll Plant, who invoke the illustrative tradition but use it for more personalised work.
