Cry Babies have the right to cry, Art World

"10 paintings by famous Indian artists didn't sell at the latest Christies auction" is the title of a recent article in an art news magazine. One upcoming artist commented: "They got the treatment they deserved". A well established artist objected to it. He said: "Cry babies don't know how to compete. You couldn't compete well & therefore didn't become famous. You are jealous about the success of established artists. That is why you are happy now".

When I thought about these two… Continue

How Global Are We?

The word “global” was on my mind for the past several months as I was trying to find the true meaning of the word and I feel the members here can help me in doing so.

I noticed during my observation of the internet that although the modern transport systems and various media especially the World Wide Web bring human beings from all parts of the world together, most people still think and understand things from their own points of view and not from a global one when they deal with… Continue

My mother - An Angel

Mother, oh my pure, innocent and sweet mother

When you are there for me why bother

About Heaven, when you could create one here on Earth

With your love and sacrifice since my birth

You have only one thought in your mind

The well being of your children - you are so kind

You toiled day and night to make us happy and comfortable

I searched the whole world and found you uncomparable

You are so selfless

While performing your duty you are… Continue

AN ODE TO MY BELOVED FATHER

Oh my father, as a five-year-old

I walked for the first time holding your hand

On the road to the school that trained me

How to deal with the things and thoughts in my lab

But the lessons you taught me

While traveling together on life's path

On how to deal with ups and downs with inner faith

That were implanted in me with tender care

Benefited me much more

The education you gave me that turned me wise from a fool

Can never be taught in any… Continue

THE POWER OF A STRONG WILL

The world said : You are delicate, you can't do this

My mind said : No problem, I can

The world warned : This way will be tough and rough

My mind said : I want to test my skills and abilities

The world recommended : Follow this new trend

My mind said : Thank you, I will set my own trend

The world advised : Do it this way

My mind said : I will do it my way

Muscle power said : If you don't listen, I will beat you

My mind said : Want to taste my… Continue

Science & Art - Reality - Proof & Perception

Earlier I used to wonder why there are different parameters in Science & Art to judge a "GOOD" work. Now, I feel, these are the reasons for the differences:

In Science, a person is treated good & given importance & respect based on his "work" irrespective of his age or experience. Because all scientific work can be proved & all scientific theories can stand the tests of scrutiny. Science is based on proof & reality.

However, in Art a person is treated good in a… Continue

Art World's obsession with science is reaching ridiculous proportions!

An increasing number of artists are choosing science as their themes. That is okay. But if it becomes an obsession & reaches ridiculous proportions? Here is an example:

A curator of an exhibition in New york aims to spark a debate over the idea that plastic surgery is ART! He gives the example of rhinoplasty, the surgery of nose reconstruction, where he thinks artistic skill & certain amount of creativity is necessary to give people perfect noses! The exhibition, titled "I AM… Continue

One more stupid science-art experiment

The Australian performance artist known as Stelarc wants to transform his body into a portal on the internet. The visitors to Exit Art, a gallery in Midtown Manhattan, are being treated to a video of Stelarc's left arm being cut up like a rare tenderloin to implant a Bluetooth-enabled artificial ear. Stelarc's video is one of more grisly highlights of "Corpus Extremus (LIFE+)" , an exhibit about the wonders & horrors of " Post Natural History" & the ways in which technology is blurring… Continue

Why Sci-Art Lab was created

These are the reasons why Art Lab was created:

Lab is a place where great minds work.

People get relaxed & enjoy too in a lab.

This is where curiosity lives & the desire to find or invent something new thrives.

Lab is the abode of " Never-say-die " spirit.

All positive vibrations & light originating from this place lighten up the world.

This is where experimentation of all kinds takes place & re-search goes on.

Everything that is…
