Science & Art is organized into five “mini” exhibits
Origami sculpture work by Robert Lang, Ph.D., one of the world’s leading origami masters with more than 500 designs catalogued and diagrammed. Visitors may fold their own work of art to take home or leave for display in the gallery’s “visitor art” section.
Beautiful Worm which combines biology and photography, offering a unique window into the world of scientific research as interpreted through art. This part of the exhibit showcases research of the C. elegans worm by Ahna Skop, Ph.D., assistant professor of genetics at the University of Wisconsin.
1-Bit Music inventor Tristan Perich. The 1-Bit is part art, part physics and part mathematics. 1-Bit compositions are delivered to listeners via an on/off switch, micro-chip, battery, earphone jack and volume control all squeezed into a plastic CD case.
Wearable computers by Leah Buechley, assistant professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). A display of Buechley’s work allows visitors to select and see the different LED display patterns designed and programmed into the fabric.
Three Drops by electronic artist and computer scientist Scott Snibbe who introduces visitors to the concept of the nano-scale. This multimedia experience requires participants to move in front of a large screen to interact with projections of water at the macro, micro and then nano-scale and allows them to experience how the physical properties of water change.
Science & Art is made possible thanks to a $7-million grant from the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation through the Arkansas Discovery Network. The Arts & Science Center is one of seven Arkansas Discovery Network member museums in the state.
