From University of Chicago News, Feb. 27, 2023: The University of Chicago communications office is running its second annual Science as Art contest. All members of the UChicago community are invited to submit images from their scientific research for the “Science as Art” contest. The winner will receive $300 and a framed print of the winning image. A “fan favorite,” judged by the public on UChicago’s Instagram and Twitter, will also receive $150.
As part of a class on design thinking, a graduate student turned her research topic into an art installation resembling a giant disco ball.
From Medium.com, July 21, 2022: An interview with Fermilab’s artist-in-residence, Mare Hirsch on her creative journey studying music and work in computational fabrication while collaborating with scientists to create data-driven art. Hirsch is now working with Muon g-2 scientists to visually represent aspects of particle physics such as muon precessions and virtual particles.
In a recent exhibit, the artist wove fantasy and physics to illustrate the temporal funk of living through a pandemic.
From Fraction magazine, September 2021: Former Fermilab artist-in-residence Adam Nadel featured striking photos of an electron beam from a particle accelerator. In a recent issue of this magazine, he used a stream of subatomic electron particles interacting with the silver halide salt found in color photographic paper. The beam was generated on a LINAC electron particle accelerator at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory when Nadel was the resident artist in 2018.
From the Illinois Science Council, Aug. 9, 2021: Fermilab’s first artist-in-residence, Lindsay Olson, describes her first days working at Fermilab where her work took her into the tunnels and research areas of the lab to make art out of science.
From U Chicago News, August 4, 2021: The connection between art and science has always been part of Fermilab’s framework. This year’s artist-in-residence program features two artists who will translate the data of science into music and art to help increase public understanding of scientists work.
From Noooz Hawk News (Santa Barbara, CA), August 1, 2021: Who knew data could be so beautiful? Fermilab’s 2021-22 artist-in-residence Mark Hirsch is working with scientists to gain inspiration on the mysteries of matter, energy, space and time.
Georgia Schwender, Fermilab’s art gallery curator said Hirsch is exploring ways that coding and art can combine to convey complex topics like science and math.
From The Daily Herald, July 15, 2021: Dr. Caren Cooper of North Carolina State University will lead the Fermilab At Home arts and lecture series Friday, July 16, with “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Data: Truths and Myths about Citizen Science as a Knowledge Democracy.
