SciArt Magazine Volume 29

Letter from the Editor
Dear readers, Bioluminescent portraits, bitcoin assemblages, microbioloical music, and virtual sunspots are only a few of the aesthetic places we bring you in our first issue of 2018. From collaborating across disciplines to across species our featured artists, scientists, and cross-disciplinary practitioners this February come from New York, Illinois, Indiana, Pennsylvania, California, the Netherlands, Australia, and more. With the Internet as our global center, the 21st century cross-disciplinary Renaissance that is the SciArt movement is here, there, and everywhere. As we move forward, we bring with us the spirit of da Vinci, and his tireless quest to better understand the world through experiment, observation, and creation. His journals contain plans for flying mechanisms, drawings of cadavers, drafts of new war technologies, and poetry - all on the same page. While there will always be distinct things called 'art' and 'science', it is the questions that we ask, rather than the mechanisms through which we pursue them, that unite us, that put us on the same page. What questions are you pursuing? We'd love to hear from you. On a particular page of da Vinci's journals, he writes "Tell me if anything was ever done... Tell me... Tell me." It's easy to read this as a statement made in frustration. But I take a different view - because in art and science, questions lead to answers which lead to more questions. It is the nature of humanity to ask questions, because there's always more to know - we would never want to be 'done'. As always, thank you for your continued readership. Sincerely, Julia Buntaine | Founder, Editor-in-Chief |
