Dear Colleagues,
Last week, the National Endowment
for the Arts hosted a conversation on our Art Works blog around the intersection
of art, science, creativity, and innovation that featured posts by arts/science
enthusiasts Roger
Malina, Marina
McDougall, Andrea
Grover, Whitney
Dail, and Bill
O’Brien; and a podcast featuring author and Wired contributing
editor Jonah
Lehrer. The posts cover a range of subjects, from how creativity
works to the nature of arts as a form of inquiry to the idea of using art-driven
systems to better understand medical conditions, demonstrating the striking
similarities between artist and scientist in their approach to understanding and
interacting with our world.
The NEA is continuing the
conversation with two additional art/science-themed events in June that are
described below. We hope you will join us. If you are interested in learning more about
how the NEA can support art/science projects in the future please join our
mailing list by emailing us at artandscience@arts.gov.
"TRANSCENDING BORDERS: The
Intersections of Art, Science, Technology, and Society on a Global
Stage"
On Monday, June 4 from 5 to 7 pm, NEA Chairman Rocco
Landesman, Austrian Ambassador Dr. Hans Peter Manz, and Salzburg Global Seminar
President Stephen Salyer will be hosting a series of panels at the Austrian
Embassy in Washington DC.
"Transcending Borders" is an
international dialogue around the nexus of art, science, and technology in the
21st century. Today's artists and
scientists improve our critical understanding of the world by provoking new
ideas, experimentation, and creative strategies. This conversation will be
moderated by Amanda McDonald Crowley and will feature Gerfried Stocker from Ars
Electronica with Joel Slayton from Zero1, the artist/scientist team of Liz
Lerman and Drew Baden, Clare Shine from the Salzburg Global Seminar, and policy
makers from the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Science
Foundation.
Space is limited and advance
registration is required. To RSVP please visit SalzburgGlobal.org/go/DC2012.
