Physics & Art: Exploring Connections
E N D
Presentation Transcript
Where are the connections? • Where are my connections?
Where are the connections? • Art in physics • Physics in art • Similar patterns in physics and art
1. Art in physics • Patterns, patterns, patterns……. Diffraction, interference, turbulent flow, shockwaves, absorption and emission spectra, collions pictures from LEP, cloud and bubble chamber pictures…… Electrostatic and magnetic fields (see later3-D MODELS) • The beauty is always there!!
2. Physics in art • The theory of diffraction in the work of the ‘pointillism’ painters. (The role of the observer!! Colors change with the distance of the observer to the painting); Manet, Seurat… • Strange equilibrium in some sculptures; Caesare • Oscillations, standing waves; S. Van Aerschot • Archimedes’ law; V. Janssen, S. Van Aerschot • Attraction and repulsions with magnets/electromagnets; Takis, B.Gray… • Fluiddynamics; Riley • Aerodynamics; Panamarenko • ............
3. Similar patterns between physics and art • Sometimes a scientist is inspired by arts e.g. Scientist/engineers kinetic art e.g. Lorenzo Cimadevila Margarita, A. Calder • Sometimes an artist is inspired by sciences Panamarenko • Coincidence in similarity? Diffractionpatterns Vasarely Emission/absorptionspectraRothko Collisionpatterns Art Robotica …..
My work • 3- D Magnetic and Electrostatic Field Pattern Models Birth: 1994 Expected lifetime: a schoolcarreer?? • 3- D Diffraction, interference patterns • Paintings of light diffraction patterns • New work inspirated by the HST program
Use? • Use 1: to make the classroom more attractive, artfull, alive…. • Use 2: as a break after doing measurements s.a. tracking fieldlines by measuring the voltage between different elektrodes; playing with clay and wire, & being creative and inventive • Use 3: while doing exercises pupils can take the models and find out more easily how to draw some vectors (excersises with the Lorentz-force) • Use 4: As an extra help to memorize.
Can fyslets replace them? • Yes, for the visual apect. • No, for the physical contact!!! Feeling Touching Holding Hugging Squeezing ….. (with another magnet of course)
Bubble chamber pictures I hope the pictures will keep on bubbling my inspiration and creativity! THANK YOU Gron!!
