Date: Sat, 18 Sep 1999 15:15:27 -0400 From: "Art & Science Collaborations, Inc. (ASCI)" <asci@asci.org> Subject: ArtSci99 Symposium...in NYC //// not to be missed !!! ARTSCI'99: NURTURING COLLABORATIONS FOR THE NEXT CENTURY a symposium produced by Art and Science Collaborations, Inc. November 13-14, 1999 The Great Hall, Cooper Union New York, NY 9:00 AM - 6:15 PM More and more members of the art community [painters, digital aritsts, musicians, sculptors, poets, web-artists, etc.] are inspired by science and technology. Some have participated in historic art-and-industry programs, such as those at Bell Labs in the 1960s, Polaroid in 70-80's, the 25-year-old Kohler Artist and Industry Program, and Xerox PARC in the 1990s. For a few others, passion and shared vision for a personal art-science project have led to fruitful collaborations with research scientists. However, for the most part, artists have not had access to the science community. The mission of ARTSCI'99 is to create a formal vehicle that will nurture art-science collaborations for the next century. Models of "moder-day Leonardos", and the new paradigm of artist-scientist research teams and collaborations will be presented. Keynotes by: Dr. Laurence Smaje, the Director of the "Sci-Art" progam of the Wellcome Trust (London), one of the few institutions commissioning such collaborations (http://www.welcome.org) , and Dr. France Cordova, the first woman to hold the position of Chief Scientist at NASA, and now is the Vice Chancellor for Research at the University of California at Santa Barbara... and mastermind of their "Research Across Disciplines" Program. http://research.ucsb.edu If you have ever wanted to work with a biologist, chemist, physicist, or mathematician, etc., we are doing massive outreach to the scientific community and expect strong attendance.
