'Tim's Veneer' and the Divide Between Art and Science
enison is a respected pioneer in computer graphics, as well as an avid tinkerer. The film follows his investigation of a hypothesis -- that Dutch master Vermeer used optics to aid in creating his photo-realistic art. Along the way, Jenison's investigation gets to the core of artistic expression and engineering ingenuity, and how the split of art and science may not be quite as stark as many believe.

Moviefone Canada sat down with Teller and Jenison during last September's Toronto International Film Festival.

What art can learn from science about awarding greatness
one has to wonder: what does being a winner mean?

If art were a discipline like science, would we have any less of a problem sorting the wheat from the chaff? Over time, perhaps, but in the short-term: no. The subjective nature of value, a problem noticed among economists (and philosophers) in the mid-nineteenth century, is at the heart of the problem of measurement in anything other than the hard sciences.

Simply put: if we try to measure how anyone values something by their external behaviour, we can never hope to understand the highly complex chain of relations leading to their decision. Thus, in economics, we will never have what we’d hope for in a science: an exact theory that describes what’s going on in an economy at any scale. We cannot account for taste, let alone make an accounting of taste, or tastes, or the sum of tastes.

Science & Justice Working Group: Bioengineering and Meat Cultures
Speaker: Oron Catts
Univeristy of California Santa Cruz
Friday, February 28, 2014 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM Hosted By Andy Murray, Sociology & Sophia Magnone, Literature Meat grown in a laboratory is being promoted as a response to the harmful effects of "conventional" factory-farmed meat production. Artists and scholars have identified meat cultures as a new class of being having their own unique characteristics. Some of these characteristics make lab-grown meat appealing as a food source, and others may provoke what is frequently deemed "the yuck factor." Viewing this new class of beings, along with other bioengineered critters, as custom-built collaborators, we will explore the ways humans relate to and intervene in the more-than-human world to feed, clothe, house, and entertain ourselves- and the way we respond when these interventions, collaborations, and cultures turn sour.

COAL Art and Environment Prize
The COAL Art and Environment Prize shows the enormous wealth of responses by artists to current environmental issues. Every year, since 2010, the COAL Prize has publicly recognized ten projects linked to environmental issues, which are selected in the framework of an international call for entries in which hundreds of artists from all over the world participate. One of these artists is given the COAL Prize, with an award of 10,000 Euros, by a Jury of well-known specialists in art and ecology. In 2013 the COAL prize on the theme of Adaptation was awarded to Laurent Tixador for his project Architecture transitoire. In 2014, the theme of the COAL Prize is PARIS. The French capital has a great many environmental and social issues: pollution, energy, urban sprawl, transport, land, erosion of biodiversity, adaptation to the climate change, etc. A creative approach to ecology is emerging in new social organizations, alternative production methods, and collaborative ways of living and working which promote user-friedliness as well as an appreciation of the simpler things in life. Having been for a long time the City of Light, the symbol of industrial modernity and progress, will Paris be able to shine again by embodying ecological post modernity?

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.

Science and art

In addition to the Invitational exhibit, three smaller gallery spaces at the arts center explore the winter-exhibit theme of science and art. It is common to think of science and art as occupying different realms, or even opposed to each other. Yet these exhibits, each in their own way, look for the connections and shared space.

Teams of students from Pueblo Community College and local high schools were invited to develop the various displays in the Hoag Gallery exhibit, “Science + Art.” Each team looked at how artists and scientists think about the world, how they transform information, and how they each, in their own way, create something. The variety of connections is open-ended and provocative. This is a fun exhibit, especially for children.

IT IS often claimed that the worlds of art and science are irredeemably divided, with a gulf in understanding and sympathy separating the two disciplines. Cornwall has historically led the way in challenging this myth, with the engineers of the 18th and 19th century proving that creativity and the application of scientific rules can co-exist. Brunel's beautiful bridge over the Tamar is the clearest possible symbol that any gulf between the arts and the sciences can be crossed, with breathtaking results.

Excitingly in the 21st century, Cornwall is once again showing how creative science is. Penryn-based Engineered Arts invents and manufactures communication robots and exports them all over the world including to NASA, Japan and Korea. These beautiful and technologically mind-boggling products are truly cutting edge and proudly made in Cornwall.

UK celebrities combine science with art
Celebrities including Stephen Fry teamed up with an American microbiologist to make portraits using a swab covered in bacteria from their arms.
Celebrities including Stephen Fry are helping make an art out of science after taking part in an experiment to grow portraits from their own bacteria.

The stars have teamed up with American microbiologist and photographer Zachary Copfer to make the images by contributing a swab covered in bacteria from their arms.

He then took a digital photograph of the stars which was made into a negative and placed over a petri dish and shot through with radiation to burn away the bacteria in places leaving the image to emerge over 48 hours.

A new play, How to be Immortal, which tells the story of the first cells scientists managed to grow outside the human body, has just opened in London and is now touring the UK. The play stars Clare Perkins, who played Ava Hartman in EastEnders. In this edition of Curtain Up, we look at how science works on stage.

The ‘immortal cell line’ has been instrumental in the treatment of cancer, AIDS, and other diseases - and has also helped to develop in vitro fertilisation and gene mapping. The cells were taken from the body of Henrietta Lacks, a black woman from West Virginia who died of cervical cancer.

This Portrait of Stephen Fry Was Made From His Own Bacteria
the portrait is "made from the subjects' own cells – and have been grown by Zachary Copfer, an American microbiologist and photographer."
To make the Pop Art style images, Zachary cleverly exposes areas of a petri dish to radiation in order to stimulate the bacteria's growth. This creates a photograph grown entirely from the bacteria itself. Zachary is the only person in the world practicing this art, which he terms "Bacteriography". This is the first time his work has been brought to the UK.

Schillinger’s approach is scientific. Music is broken down to the common denominators, Rhythm, the fastest duration, scales and harmony, the interval. (Schillinger’s theory is transferable to any temperament). This gives a visual approach to analysis not only are his hypothesis analyzable but also your own can be developed.
Here is a simple practical example: Say you have created a phrase or melody by intuition and you are looking for some ideas of where it may take you. Doing some simple inversions or retrograde or both give you some options. Along with permutations of phrases, expansions of scales etc.. Now it is still the artist’s choices that we hear and not what everyone would create using Schillinger’s system.

‘Tim’s Vermeer’: A non-painter makes art a science
Based on math and optics, it still seems like magic.
Few artists have inspired the “How did he do it?” question as frequently as the 17th century Dutch master Johannes Vermeer, who created astonishingly detailed, richly vibrant photo-realistic works a century and a half before photography was invented.

Was Vermeer actually capable of creating these works from his imagination, of defying science and somehow turning his eye into the equivalent of a human light meter? Or did he use some sort of device to essentially capture photographic precision?
The question of whether Vermeer used some sort of camera obscura contraption to create his works has been raised before by the likes of art historian Philip Steadman and artist David Hockney (both of whom appear in this film), but nobody has attempted to solve the mystery with the mad-genius obsession of one Tim Jenison, a video-equipment innovator and multimillionaire entrepreneur who apparently has been so successful he has a LOT of time on his hands to pursue elaborately whimsical quests.

Voiced and produced by Penn Jillette and directed by his partner-in-magic Teller, “Tim’s Vermeer” chronicles Jenison’s years-long effort to figure out just how Vermeer was able to produce incredibly intricate, nearly three-dimensional paintings such as “The Music Lesson.”
Mirrors and relatively sophisticated lenses were popular in the Holland in the 1600s, and it’s Jenison’s theory that Vermeer created an optical device that allowed him to duplicate a setting almost as if were “tracing” the original as opposed to creating it freehand. Would this make Vermeer a “cheat” of sorts, or just a different kind of genius?

“I’m not a painter,” Jenison reminds us time and again, yet he embarks on a painstaking, sometimes excruciatingly tedious quest to re-create the setting of “The Music Lesson” down to the most intricate stitching of the tapestries, the light on the wall, the woodwork and every other detail in the painting. The resourceful Mr. Jenison builds a set, enlists the help of live models and even journeys to Buckingham Palace, where the queen grants him a 30-minute audience with the original painting, under the condition Jenison record his impressions only with his mind.

After years of research, Jenison retreats to a warehouse in Texas and attempts to re-create “The Music Lesson” with the aid of a relatively simple mirrored tool he has created. The final result, achieved after more than four months of intense work, is … well, astonishing.

Michelangelo is known as a Renaissance great – but Michelangelo was also a skilled forger who made copies of major works before ageing them with smoke and swapping them for the originals, according to art historian Thierry Lenain at the Institut Français in London.
According to Mr Lenain, author of Art Forgery: The History of the Modern Obsession, the Italian frequently forged artworks in order to obtain the originals from their owners by giving them the copies. On one occasion, Michelangelo made a painted copy of a print representing Saint Anthony by the engraver Martin Schongauer, making his version so similar to the original it was impossible to tell which one was which.

Speaking at the VIEW festival of art history, Mr Lenain said: “He admired these originals for the excellence of their art and sought to surpass them.”

This is not the first time rumours of the artist’s forgeries have emerged. One anecdote describes how in 1496 a young Michelangelo copied a Roman sculpture, Sleeping Cupid. He buried it in the ground to give it the various stains, scratches and dents needed to make it look like a genuine antique. He then used a middleman to sell the piece to Cardinal Riario for a substantial sum.

According to Mr Lenain, Michelangelo’s copies earned him great notoriety, which helped launch his career.
Significantly, the perception of art forgery in the Renaissance era was very different to the negative attitudes which developed in later centuries.

“In late-modern forgeries, the main goal consists not so much in the creation of a work of art than in the construction of a trap,” said Mr Lenain.
