Why you cannot create lots of sci-art works

One of my artist friends creates lots of art works. At least ten to fifteen in a month. Most of the works are landscapes and nature-related. It is as if some machine is working in her studio producing innumerable works in no time. And sells them cheap, attracting people and making lots of money in the process. She copies from photographs, pictures in news papers and magazines. She need not put much of an effort mentally. I am sure she can paint thousands of these things in her life…

Being both a specialist and a generalist helps!

Being both a specialist and a generalist helps!

Well, yes. I am a specialist on toxins produced by micro-organisms in food. I specialized in a particular subject. That really sounds weird. Because that doesn't make me an absolute specialist. I am a relative specialist because there are several microbes and the toxins produced by them are different. I am a myco-toxicologist, because I specialized in mycotoxins, i.e., toxins produced by fungi. And I am not a specialist on all toxins…

Are people of science dumb?

I have read 'several' articles recently that say, " sciences should embrace art to get more creative and do out of the box thinking". 

Well, this really stumps me. Are people of science dumb? All these inventions, discoveries, thinking in new ways to understand the world and help it - observed for so many years came out of nothing? Isn't there creativity in science? Are scientists limited to their narrow boxes ( some are trying to call them pigeon holes!)? Somehow I don't like…

How an artist helped science unintentionally

Nikolai Peristov, a Russian artist who carves jewellery from ancient mammoth tusks, helped science unintentionally! In 2008, Peristov was looking for ivory along Siberia’s Irtysh River when he noticed a bone jutting from the riverbank. He dug it out and showed it to a police forensic scientist, who identified it as probably human.

The bone turned out to be a human left femur, and eventually made it to the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, where…

Artists damage the ecology when they do things with half knowledge

They say half knowledge is more dangerous. This is true with regard to science.  Let me explain how. 

If People try to do things with half knowledge, they will do more harm than good. I have seen this with my own eyes: Artists and writers damaging Nature with half knowledge. Their intensions are good. But their beliefs, opinions, art, superstitions, strange interpretations and all things stupid come in between their intensions and screw up their actions. 

Earlier I have written…

Taking science-art to public places

I have stressed several times the importance of taking science-based art to public places (ref 1) to make common people understand science  in a better way  making them more interested in the subject and getting benefited by it. 

Now listen to this wonderful news: Magnified is an exhibit of 46 scientific images showing cells and other scenes of life magnified by as much as 50,000 times. The exhibit is on display at Washington Dulles International Airport's Gateway Gallery…

What scientists and geeks do outside of their labs and work places

Scientists and engineers are coming out of their ivory towers and forts more and more and interacting with the world outside and enjoying it thoroughly. They are also pursuing their passions. Short videos depict some lesser known aspects of the lives of cutting-edge scientists, their hobbies, passions and pastimes outside of the lab are now on line.

The Secret Life of Scientists and Engineers is an Emmy-nominated web series and site from PBS’s NOVA. This is where you can learn about…

Binocular Rivalry Color Fusion

  And the attention of Professor Randolph Blake and Professor Robert P. O'Shea.

These teachers have developed a prodigious scientific activity theme,  Retinal Rivalry consolidated in the nineteenth century.

Thus under the new name of  Binocular Rivalry (most appropriate) have largely conribuit that their research will lead to the definition of a new chapter Neuroimaging.

 

I consider it appropriate to introduce something from my attempts to…

Nature painters, you can help scientists!

Artists, when you paint nature try to paint the colours, shapes (like river banks and mountain ridges) exactly like you see. This will give clues to future generations to come to conclusions based on your works regarding the conditions in which you worked. This will have tremendous ecological impacts.

In the future, in case the river changes the course or a landslide occurs, people should be able to identify the differences with the help of your art works.

No I am not joking.…

My replies to artists' questions - part 2

Artists ask me several interesting questions. Whether they really want to learn about scientific way of understanding things or just want to test me is anybody's guess.

But I never felt I cannot answer them. In the first part I added a few questions and my answers to them. And here I am adding a few more:

Artist ( Mr. X):

‘Probably science has been trained and domesticated me- both in physical and artistic life. I usually think art and science are strongly…

The reason why they never pick science based art

An artist who is dealing with science based art asked me to give reasons why the curators, art critics, gallery people and art collectors don't pick science based art.

My reply: Because they don't understand it! Pure and simple.

But I have a solution: If  no one is going to pick you, pick yourself. Why wait for others to do the job for you?

I have read this quote somewhere and I like it: If you are waiting to be anointed, waiting to be branded, waiting to for someone…
