Things that make you go hmmm...

Albert Einstein once wrote: The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. So the unknown, the mysterious, is where art and science meet.

A. Calder
This mobile is a powerful example of how an art form can be tailored to the physiology of a specific area in the brain. Calder’s composition anticipated, artistically, the physiological properties of the cells of an area called V5, which are selectively responsive to motion and its direction. Viewed from a distance, the separate pieces of the mobile appear as static spots of varying sizes. But as the pieces move in different directions, each one stimulates only the category of cell that is selectively responsive to the direction in which the spot is moving. —Semir Zeki, Neuroscientist, University College London © Christie’s Images/Corbis

Artists as Scientists

Daniel Nolan and the artisitc influence of nuclear engineering.

Hunter Cole
http://www.huntercole.org/


Cole's Process of Artmaking is quite interesting-
incorporates less conventional artistic methods as well. Perhaps the most scientific and unexpected of these is her work with bioluminescent bacteria. When working with the unusual media, Cole harnesses light created by a chemical reaction in a living cell to produce original artwork.Cole grows the bacteria in a liquid culture, and then uses the culture as her paint, applying it to a gelatinous augur in a petri dish, as if the augur were a canvas. When applied, the culture is clear, but over a 24 hour period it slowly begins to glow, becoming more visible. For the two weeks following the culture’s application, as the bacteria grows and dies, the drawing changes.

Photo & Science

Photography consists of two separate elements: art and science.
It is through the combination of these two elements that the creation
of world-class photographs can be accomplished.

The science part of photography includes technique and equipment. The artistic part of photography includes the photographer's artistic goals, vision, inspiration and the use of art-related concepts. These two parts need to merge seamlessly for the creation of a successful world-class photograph to take place. If one or these two parts dominates the other the result is either a technically excellent photograph without much artistic interest, or a very artistic photograph lacking technical excellence.
