The Collaboration of Science and Art
The latest artist in the Cynthia-Reeves gallery’s Art & Science project, Daniel Kohn, will be joined by Nobel Laureate Harold Varmus at the opening of Kohn’s show, Genomic Research.The Art & Science project is a discourse over three exhibitions on how artists translate current science investigations into their work. Kohn works as an artist in residence at MIT’s Broad Institute, collaborating with researchers to create visual images that represent their findings. Kohn says he is “deeply interested in finding visual analogs for ideas in the genomic sciences, and through them, for emergent features in our larger world view.”

Science, media, art, movies, politics, and what else I find interesting tweeting and reading on the internet. And ITP.
Nasa's Image of the Day
Composite of a Series of Images Taken From Space Aboard the Space Station
This is a composite of a series of images photographed from a mounted camera on the Earth-orbiting International Space Station, from approximately 240 miles above Earth. Expedition 31 Flight Engineer Don Pettit said of the about photographic techniques used to achieve the images: "My star trail images are made by taking a time exposure of about 10 to 15 minutes. However, with modern digital cameras, 30 seconds is about the longest exposure possible, due to electronic detector noise effectively snowing out the image. To achieve the longer exposures I do what many amateur astronomers do. I take multiple 30-second exposures, then ‘stack’ them using imaging software, thus producing the longer exposure." A total of 18 images photographed by the astronaut-monitored stationary camera were combined to create this composite. Image Credit: NASA
