Scientist and artists work and think in different ways, but the process of inquiry has many common dimensions as well. How do art-science convergences happen? Why are they important or useful? What are some future prospects for art-science convergences?
In a presentation held on Thursday, April 7, 2016,, scientists and artists offered brief illustrations of their convergent work, and engaged in a conversation with the audience on the practice of arts-science convergences. Presenters included:
- Jerri Bartholomew: biological science and glass art
- Mark Harmon: forest ecology and visual arts: ROT: The Afterlife of Trees
- Bob Keefer: Forest-inspired visual art
- Dana Reason: Forest-based music
- Justin Ralls: Forest-inspired music
- Angelique White: biological science and photography
- Leah Wilson: Andrews Forest-based visual art
- Charles Goodrich: Forest Under Story: Creative Inquiry in an Old-Growth Forest
- Fred Swanson: Long-Term Ecological Reflections
