In this class, we teach a group of about 20 students about the interdisciplinary connections within art and science. We seek to show how one can apply knowledge from the two fields to enhance related fields, including medicine, to cartography, to technology. Every week this semester we held either a creative workshop or invited a speaker to discuss the intricacies intertwining the two fields. For example, we had Carols Sequin come in to speak about mathematical knots and their implementation into artistic sculptural pieces. We also had a class on sound aesthetics and what makes music beautiful, as seen through a physicist's perspective. We talked about synesthesia, cognitive structures... you name it! This December, we are having an art show to showcase the students' original artwork in the class. They have been assigned to choose a scientific topic they are passionate about and explain it through a specific medium of art. The gallery will feature not only engaging art work from students of all different scientific majors and beyond, but also feature a sensory science exhibit. In conjunction with the Synesthesia Association of Berkeley, we will have a sensory isolation chamber that vibrates a participant's body to the tune of dubstep, a reel of engaging optical illusions and other cross-sensory demonstrations. You can also expect to enjoy a performance from the Multimedia Orchestra at Cal and beats all night from local DJ Schwa. We wanted to personally invite you to attend The Creative Consciousness, an art gallery and science exhibit which aims to encourage a consciousintegration of arts in the sciences and sciences in the arts. We think this event will be highly rewarding. Please do join us in celebrating these two wonderful fields in a fun and engaging way. Spread the word, invite your friends, and enjoy. -- Simona ZOMPI, MD, PhD Immunology & Global Health Consulting www.simonazompi.com LinkedIn Profile<http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=19020451&trk=nav_res… -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Counter Culture Labs" group.
