Somebody asked this question:

Art and Science: Is there evolutionary value to the type of people who live at the intersections and try to make the two of them hold hands?

My reply:

There is even a Ph.D. course just announced in Science-art!! You can read the details here : http://kkartlab.in/group/News/forum/topics/2816864:Topic:79721

Evolutionary value?! In what sense? Yes, a new Renaissance…

An artist who says she deals with sci-art and is interested in highlighting ecological problems had invited us to see her work. According to her -

“Where have all of the fireflies gone?” is a commonly heard despair. The loss of fireflies in our communities is primarily based on the increased light pollution from urban structures. Therefore fireflies are a succinct metaphor for the fragility of our ecosystem. Today people mourn their loss making memories of fireflies more…

Can it really? Well it depends on the power of the swallow!

I recently heard somebody saying in a forum discussion, "I repeatedly find scientists who can do art, its like saying because someone can boil a kettle they can do science" .  According to this person scientists can only become "picture makers" and never "true artists" as they don't understand what true art is all about! What a dumb statement?! And what dumb assumptions!? Isn't this opinion loaded with prejudice? I am more…

On an on line science, art collaboration group, a discussion was started on scientific and artistic thought processes. It was started with an intention to find out each others’ view points on each field which might help lead into collaborative projects. The   artist – scientist  ratio was 95:5. Only a few scientists came forward to participate in the discussion. I went there as I was interested in knowing what artists think about science and scientists and how they deal with their work. In…

The words good and bad are dealt with differently in science and art.

In art there may not be fixed values for deciding good works or bad works ( which cannot be done accurately because your opinions are just based on perceptions which differ from person to person and place to place). If an artist  creates an art work the theme depends on his/her opinions, beliefs, ideas which again are based on his/her perception of the world around him and cultural conditioning of his mind. Again…

Scientists tell very interesting stories - like "Big Bang" origin of the universe, why the universe is expanding , what can happen to it in the future, how a human brain works, how we - the human beings - have evolved as the  most intelligent forms of life - some with proof and some without it! News papers report them with dedication. Day in and day out the media sings the songs of science's glory. Both children and adults get fascinated by them.

But all this is making some people in…

When I started creating art works from science based themes in the beginning and till recently, I didn't even know people use reference photos to create realistic or photo-realistic pictures! It is just like copying from the photos! Such xerox-copy, non-thinking type of art works attract people as they show the exact picture.

However, I create art works like I see them in my mind! People who do this imaginative art works don't see the minor details of the pictures -…

We often hear/read reports about deteriorating conditions of famous art works (1). While science is trying to conserve these invaluable pieces of art (2,3), you too can do your bit to make your art last long.

Friends, even if you don't create works on Science Themes, you can always create art scientifically! Yes, if you follow the methods of science, art works will be of good quality, they lost longer and don't cause health hazards to you and they will be environmentally safe.…

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…
