While I’m on the subject of art and science, I should point out that QMUL’s David Berman told me about an exhibit of drawings by scientists on various themes in physics. He was looking for contributions too (although it may be too late now, I’m not sure). The website is here. He told me a while ago, and I apologize for neglecting to point it out to you sooner (for a while I was sure that I’d done a post on it, but cannot find one).
David said (back in October):
Sanjaye(Ramgoolam) and I are currently trying to put together a collection of works for a series of exhibitions we have lined up. The idea is to show how physicists use conceptual drawing and just to show some of the
interesting ideas around in a visual rather than mathematical way.
I like this idea a lot, not the least because I suggested something like this for a Visions and Voices event not so long ago. I will try to find a good excuse to do this sometime as an event. The difference is that I want it a live event – with both scientists and artists drawing together. Yeah, I know. I’m a dreamer.
Anyway, have a look at their site. If it is still possible to submit something and you are interested in doing so, go ahead! Heck.. just do a drawing, whether there’s any exhibit to contribute to or not. It’s one of the most valuable ways to spend a little quiet time, I find.
Enjoy.
