Winnipeg hosts the inaugural bioart exhibition of Toxicity
This December, Winnipeg will host the premiere of an arts and sciences exhibition that will travel to many other countries. The exhibition, Toxicity, spawned from the academic work of Dr. Melentie Pandilovski and Dr. Jennifer Willet. Pandilovski is the director of Video Pool Media Arts Centre in Winnipeg and Willet is the director of INCUBATOR: Hybrid Laboratory at the Intersection of Art, Science, and Ecology, a branch of the school of visual arts at the University of Windsor.

In 2011, Willet was the director of BioARTCAMP at the Banff Centre, where participants explored the intersections between science and art in a fully functional biological sciences laboratory. Her work in this field began in 2004 at SymbioticA with Oron Catts and Ionat Zurr as part of the BIOTEKNICA project.

‘Nano World’ Science Art Exhibition

By B.Tungalag
“Nano World” Science Art Exhibition was unveiled at the Mongolian National Modern Art Gallery on November 11. The Association of Developing Mongolian Modern Art and The Mongolian National Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology jointly organized the exhibition. The purpose of the exhibition is to give context about the development of nanotechnology and its importance through art. The show featured the best artworks from participants of the “Science as Art” competition, which has been organized by the Materials Research Society in the USA since 2006, and artwork by the famous Swiss artist and photographer, Fabian Oefner. The exhibition will be open for only three days, and closes on November 13.
Developed countries have built strong economies based on technological knowledge. New technology and products created by human ingenuity bring wonder to our world. Organizers of “Nano World” believe that Mongolia is also capable of becoming a country with an economy based on knowledge. The organizers aimed to present information about nanotechnology to youth through art. They hope that their interest in this sector, and in the developments of the future, will be inspired by seeing the exhibition.
About the National Center of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology
The National Center of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology was established in 2008. The main objective of the National Center of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology is to search and discover the structure of atomic molecules through nanoscience and the study of gravity. The center observes open cooperation with contract researchers.
About Fabian Oefner
Fabian Oefner (born 1984, Switzerland) is a curious investigator, photographer and artist, whose work moves between the fields of art and science. His images capture, in unique and imaginative ways, natural phenomena that appear in our daily lives, such as sound waves, centripetal forces, iridescence, or the unique properties of magnetic ferroliquids. His exploration of the unseen and poetic facets of the natural world is an invitation, as he says, “to stop for a moment and appreciate the magic that constantly surrounds us.”
Oefner’s photographs have been exhibited in various countries and are part of private collections around the globe. Besides pursuing his own projects, he also collaborates with influential international brands on ad campaigns and art projects. He works and lives in Switzerland.

Westminster programme integrates arts and science
Student collaboration blends skills to take fresh look at knowledge
Animated spirographs and bacterial portraits were among the projects under discussion at a seminar exploring the potential and the challenges of “integrating art and science” within learning.

Set up at the University of Westminster in 2010 as an extracurricular programme, the Broad Vision project brings together 30 to 35 arts and science students each year on Friday afternoons from January to April. Their very different knowledge and skill sets mean that everyone is both an expert and a novice, so they form into small groups to create science-inspired artworks. By the end of the very first year, in which a focus on microscopy was encapsulated in the theme The Art and Science of Looking, the collaborations had led to an exhibition, workshops, a seminar and a book.

The Art of Planetary Science Set for Tucson, AZ on December 4
Local artists Dr. Bill Hartmann, Simon Kregar, and Michelle Rouch of Arizona, all of whom are members of the International Association of Astronomical Artists (IAAA), have been honored with the acceptance of their works in the Art of Planetary Science, an Exhibition at the University of Arizona Lunar and Planetary Laboratory. Hartmann, Kregar, and Rouch were among 100 artists whose work was selected. The Art of Planetary Science will be held on 4 December, 2013 at Kuiper Space Sciences Building, 1629 E. University Blvd., Tucson, AZ from 6PM-10PM.

IAAA, non-profit foundation, was formally founded in 1983 by a small group of artists who journeyed through the fascinating but seldom trod territory where science and art overlap. The object of IAAA is to implement and participate in astronomical and space art projects, to promote education about astronomical art, and to foster an internationAl Cooperation in artistic work inspired by the exploration of the Universe.

The Art of Planetary Science Project is holding an exhibition of art, created from and inspired by the scientific data with which we use to explore our solar system. The event includes an open competition for artists and scientists of all levels and types.

Science-art: Photographer captures ‘exploding, hatching’ cars
A Swiss photographer renowned for combining art and science has created a series of images capturing cars seemingly exploding and hatching.

On display at the MB&F MAD (Mechanical Art Devices) Gallery in Geneva, Fabien Oefner’s ‘Disintegrating’ and ‘Hatch’ series of images includes classic cars such as the 1954 Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe, 1961 Jaguar E-Type, 1967 Ferrari 330 P4 and 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO.

Intended to look as if a specific moment in time has been captured on film, for the ‘Disintegrating’ series, Oefner blended hundreds of real photographs of a completely dismantled scale model car positioned piece by piece with fine needles and string to give the impression of it exploding.

Subtle Technologies presents
Open Culture:
Participatory Practices in Art & Science
16-25 May 2014, Toronto
In May 2014, Subtle Technologies will be holding its 17th annual festival in Toronto. Their symposium, performances, workshops, screenings, exhibitions and networking sessions provide a forum to explore ideas and pose questions at the intersection of art, science and technology. Subtle Technologies is known internationally for presenting artists and scientists whose work is at the leading edge of their respective disciplines and creating a space for dialogue that leads to future discussions and collaborations.

The theme for 2014 is “Open Culture”. The festival will celebrate the ways artists and scientists are creating and making use of tools and techniques to harness the collective power, knowledge and creativity of the citizen. Bringing together artists and scientists who are working in these domains will open streams of dialogue leading to increased collaboration between artists and scientists who are interested in contributions of an engaged public. They are currently accepting submissions by artists, curators and scientists on the ideas presented below as well as others that fall under the umbrella of participatory culture.
This time they would like to explore citizen science and open science. They welcome submissions that explore the role of citizen science, benefits, pitfalls, mechanisms, philosophy and ethics surrounding non-scientists involved in scientific research. This concept suggests that scientists share their data as quickly as possible, allowing others to benefit from and make use of their research. “Open notebook science” implies the dissemination of both raw and processed scientific data as it is captured. They would like to invite practitioners, advocates and critics of open science to contribute submissions to our festival.
The festival will also explore the ways artists invoke participatory culture in the creation of tools and artworks. Media artists have fully engaged in the networked world and are making use of mobile networks and ubiquitous computing in their artworks. These technologies allow for real time interaction and data collection.

Occam's Razor: Art, Science, & Aesthetics
Propeller Centre for the Visual Arts

Call for works of Art inspired by Science

Art is the elimination of the unnecessary.
- Pablo Picasso
Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.
- Albert Einstein

These entwined ideas – which underlie Occam's Razor – form a thread that links the realms of science and art. Scientists rely on Occam's Razor, which holds that simpler explanations, all things being equal, are better than more complex ones, to refine their theories and experiments. Artists also may use the precepts of Occam's Razor in their choices of what to include, and what not to include, in their work.

As an artist, how do you respond to the ideas, methodologies and imagery of science? As a scientist, how do you appreciate the artistic value of your work? How does simplicity inspire your aesthetic choices? Do you wield Occam's Razor, peeling away the unnecessary to arrive at beauty and simplicity? Does simplicity equate with beauty?

Propeller Centre for the Visual Arts (PCVA) and the !dea Gallery at the Ontario Science Centre are calling for works of art inspired by science, for a group exhibition that examines similarities in practice amongst scientists and artists. With reference to Occam's Razor, the exhibition will seek to narrow the cultural divide between Art and Science.

Work selected will be shown at Propeller Centre for the Visual Arts from April 2-20, 2014, as well as at the !dea Gallery, Ontario Science Centre, May 3-June 1, 2014. (!dea Gallery showing may be modified based on space requirements).

We would challenge the general paradigm that Art and Science are the antithesis of each other and that you are either "an Artist" or "a Scientist". As such, it will be fruitful to explore how Art and Science were linked in the past, how they interact at present and what might be the future. The aim is not only to explore how science/technology could be integrated into an artwork but how art methodology can generate new scientific insights and technologies. We see this as a relationship with many possible variations.

Post-humanist Desire
Museum of Contemporary Art Taipei
Curator: Ming Turner
Co-Curator: Yu-Chieh Lin
Until 12 January 2014
The term "Post-human" comes from Post-human Manifesto by Steve Nichols, published in 1988. Although the definition of "Post-human" remains undecided within academic and artistic circles, the term has become very common in describing the divergent and complex life expectations and identities of 21st century people. A group of twenty-five artists have been invited to participate and show their works in the exhibition, to help interpret the continuously developing and noteworthy theme of the "Post-human," under three headings: the "cloned human," the "transgendered human," and the "transformed human." The group of 25 artists include Oron Catts & Ionat Zurr and many others.

Cloud and Molecular Aesthetics
Istanbul June 26-28 2014
The Third Transdisciplinary Imaging Conference at the intersections of art, science and culture seeks papers that explore the theme of the cloud and molecular aesthetics. Clouding occurs when information becomes veiled, foggy, fuzzy, obscure or secretive, or when it condenses, blooms and accretes into atmospheres of chaotic turbulence and pressure vectors, into tidal flows and storms. The cloud also is a new formation of data as a global and seemingly immaterial distribution of storage and means of retrieval. This data cloud exists everywhere and yet is nowhere in particular. As with the protocols of bit torrent files, the cloud provides a new concept of sound and image "assembly", distinct from and beyond the materialist machinic diagrams and the practices of re-mixing or remediation that became characteristic of late twentieth-century and millennial aesthetics. The cloud is not an object but an experience and its particles are the very building blocks of a molecular aesthetic in which we live and act.

Life, in Theory
The 8th Meeting of the European Society for Literature, Science, and the Arts
June 3-6, 2014 Turin, Italy
The VIII European Meeting of the Society for the Study of Literature, Science, and the Arts aims to continue the conversation between science and the humanities on the implications for our projected futures of the manipulation, administration, and governance of life forms. The concept of life today no longer provides sufficient ontological ground to distinguish among different forms of life and to guide ethical, political, legal, or medical actions. Thus, a discussion across disciplinary forms of knowledge and theories of life, and the practices they authorize, is literally to confront issues of life and death.

Seminar syncs science, liberal arts
Professor and Chair of the Department of Health Sciences at DePaul University Craig Klugman broke the professional boundaries that divided science and art during a seminar for the Ethics in Science series on Monday.

“Humanity has put professions in specific categories,” Kulgman said, “where mathematicians can only be mathematicians and an engineer can only be an engineer. One of the things that I’ve documented is that the value of film and art and literature helps us become more comfortable with ambiguity. All these structures, these styles, these drawers, they’re artificial constructs. They don’t really exist; they’re just human beings that have decided these categories.”
“Understanding the validity between the (arts and sciences) helps us become more comfortable

Art could help create a better 'STEM' student
Science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) have become part of educational vernacular, as colleges, universities and other institutions strive to raise the profile of the areas of study and the number of graduates in each field. Now a project from the University of Houston College of Education Urban Talent Research Institute encourages the incorporation of creative endeavors to attract more and better STEM students.
"When an artist is painting, he is trying to solve a problem -- how to express what is being felt. He experiments with colors, technique and images the same way a scientist or engineer experiments with energy and signals," he said. "There is more than one way information can be taught just like there is more than one way problems can be solved."
"Creative thinking and problem solving are essential in the practice of math and science," he said. "Incorporating art into math and science will not only help students become more creative and better problem solvers, it will help them understand math and science better."

Art helps translate science for masses
There is a River Road in Tucson, but not an actual flowing river. For most of the year the Rillito River is a dried-up wash, only full for a short period of time after a monsoon storm. The diminishing water table is extremely important to the city, but sometimes scientific jargon makes it difficult for people to understand why they should care.

That’s where art comes in.

Art, poetry and other creative forms of communication provide a unique way to connect with scientific information, creating mass appeal for the often esoteric labors of scientific research.

“My work deals a lot with bringing science and art together,” said Ellen McMahon, a professor in the School of Art and editor of the book “Groundwater.”

The Art of Science
Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa, scientist, artist, writer, poet, and designer based in India, has said, "Art and science ... are two sides of the same coin." While science is Dr. Challa's first love, art and literature are "life itself."

Dr. Challa, like many scientists see science as art and art as science and often inspired by each. Unfortunately, many others still see art and science as distinct and separate disciplines. Not unlike physicist-turned-novelist C.P Snow, who wrote over fifty years ago there are "two cultures".

Long before he was a doctor, Dr. Joel Levine was a writer. He crafted poetry and short stories as a college student in the late 1960s, and his talent drew encouragement from teachers and readers alike. Levine largely set writing aside while he pursued a career in medicine. He earned his medical degree and went on to residencies and fellowships at Harvard Medical School’s Massachusetts General Hospital. Yet the desire to write remained with him.

Art of science: Audubon sponsors atlas of Mecklenburg birds

The golden-crowned kinglet leans over a sketched-twig perch, his bright eye peering out from the page at his creator, Leigh Anne Carter.

Carter, 27, is a scientific illustrator, a member of a storied profession whose practitioners – from famous naturalists such as John James Audubon to modern-day illustrators at the National Geographic Society – convey scientific data through the grace and power of art.
