Letter from the Editor
Dear readers, Five years ago I founded SciArt Magazine (then, SciArt in America) with the mission to build a platform for science-based artists to have their work shown and shared, connect the cross-disciplinary community worldwide, and to recognize SciArt as cultural movement to be taken seriously. Like any widespread movement (across geographies and sectors), there are a lot of players, a multitude of aims, a spectrum of outcomes, and an open door of possibility for what comes next. What SciArt exactly is, and what it's going to be, is an open question with a growing list of evolving answers. It has been my biggest honor, and pleasure, to investigate this question by featuring the artists, scientists, scholars, makers, and doers of the science-art world these past 32 issues. Here's to five more years (and five more, after five more, and five after that...and so on...)! Sincerely, Julia Buntaine | Founder, Editor-in-Chief P.S. Looking to explain SciArt to a lay audience? Check out this feature on us which appeared in Forbes, "The SciArt Movement: Why Facebook, MIT and Autodesk Use Art to Drive Innovation." P.P.S. We are still accepting contribution pitches for our special topics October issue: What does science gain from interaction and engagement with the arts? Learn more HERE. |

Partners Announcement

Sometimes when artists and scientists collaborate, it seems like we are speaking different languages. Nancy Lowe, director of Art + Science In the Field: AS IF Center, has begun developing an art-science glossary to help artists and scientists feel less like we are in a foreign country when we walk into a lab or studio.
SciArt Magazine & Center partner AS IF Center is a hybrid of a biological field station and an artists community. Because the work at AS IF leans toward organismal biology and landscape ecology, the science terms on the glossary page reflect that bias. There are also a few terms related to academia, publishing, and statistics that are pertinent to a scientist's life.
Nancy is treating the art-science glossary page as a Wiki and invites you to send your input. Pick a word (or several), using words that are already on the page or adding some of your own. Write a short definition (using an art lens and/or a science lens), then email Nancy at sciencecandance@gmail.com, with "AS IF Glossary" in the subject line. Feel free to offer criticism or edits on the words already published on the page. Words that have different meanings in art and science (like "media" or "design") are especially welcome.
Have fun with it, and thanks for your contribution!
