But what about the creativity of the minds working at the forefront of "pure science" that underlies it all? And how is their discovery and innovation effecting contemporary art and aesthetic thought? This is the theme of ArtSci98, a two-day symposium to be held in the Great Hall at Cooper Union on April 4 & 5, 1998. There, 40 of our nation's most curious minds: research scientists, artists, educators, writers, and science and technology professionals, will present their work in relation to issues of discovery, creativity, innovation, invention, and current career challenges. The goals of Art/Sci'98 are to dispel misconceptions, confirm suspicions about the advantages of multi-disciplinary learning, and take an affirmative step in the direction of narrowing the personal and professional schisms between scientists and artists and the general public. This event is SPONSORED BY: Discover Magazine and Leonardo Journal; with additional support from AT&T. The special web-segment created for ArtSci98 was donated by Roy Harrison and includes: Program, Topic Premises, Short Bios, Registration Info, Hotel info, and info. about producers and sponsors. ================================================== KEYNOTES: Agnes Denes...... pioneer environmental artist; 1997 Prix de Rome Roger Malina...... astro-physicist & Editor of Leonardo Journal PANEL FORMAT: (75min. each) - Introduction of each panelist (1min.) by moderator - Each panelist talks about & shows (A/V) the conceptual framework of their current career challenge (5min.) - Followed by a moderated discussion of specific panel topic (30min.) - Questions & Answers from the audience (15-20min.)
