Entangle
Black holes, dark matter, gravity, time, motion--these phenomena fascinate physicists and artists alike. Both strive to discover how they shape our world. The connection between art and science is gaining increasing significance in contemporary art.Now, the influence of physics on today's art, design, and architecture is being more closely examined. Curated by Ariane Koek, the founder of the arts program Arts at CERN, the exhibition Entangle - Physics and the Artistic Imagination and its companion catalog present the works of thirteen contemporary artists who are inspired by physics and its investigation of natural phenomena. Besides their works, this ground-breaking publication also contains interviews with the artists and physicists who share their different ways of seeing.Featuring interviews with and works of art by Sarah Sze, Julius von Bismarck, Julian Charrière, Sou Fujumoto, Iris van Herpen, Ryoji Ikeda, William Kentridge, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, Goshka Macuga, Davide Quayola, Solveig Settemsda, Keith Tyson, Jorinde Voigt, and Carey Young. Exhibition:16.11.2018--14.04.2019, BIldmuseet Umeå
Keith Tyson
This definitive volume on artist Keith Tyson’s thirty- year career examines all aspects of his artistic endeavors. British Turner Prize–winning artist Keith Tyson is known for a distinctive and diverse body of work, including drawing, painting, installation, and sculpture. Showing a wide range of influences extending from mathematics and science through to poetry and mythology, he has an interest in how art emerges from the combination of information systems and physical processes that surround us every day. For over thirty years, Tyson has probed, dissected, explored, and questioned reality. Not fixed to one artistic style, Tyson’s mission is to challenge himself and the audience, while working with diverse materials—paint, clay, metal, resin—to question our knowledge of the world we perceive as real, and art’s role in representing it. Iterations and Variations offers an overview of the artist’s work in many media, with gallery installation views. Featuring 400 illustrations, and contributions by a number of leading critics, this is an edifying look at the acclaimed artist.
Libby Heaney
Libby Heaney worked for several years as a quantum physicist before turning to art. She is a pioneer in the use of quantum computing as an artistic technology, which she uses to create immersive visual worlds and develop a unique visual language that makes the multi-layered reality of the quantum world tangible to the senses. Her oeuvre includes video installations, game environments, sculptures, performances, and participatory experiments. This catalogue presents the latest works by this pioneering British artist. LIBBY HEANEY is an award-winning British artist and quantum physicist. She lives and works in London, UK. Heaney is considered the first artist to use quantum computing as a working artistic medium.
The Infinite
A journey to the International Space Station: the making of the biggest media project ever filmed in orbit. The Infinite documents the making of the ground-breaking immersive VR experience shot entirely aboard the International Space Station. Artists and astronauts joined forces to capture life in the cosmos as never before. In this oversize publication, brand-new views of space and stunning production shots reveal the human imagination's limitless potential. In Summer 2021, PHI and EMMY(R) Award-winning digital entertainment pioneers Felix & Paul Studios will launch the public into an infinite universe. A ground-breaking immersive VR exhibition will enable the audience to visit the ISS, where they encounter experiments, zero-gravity living, and breathtaking spacewalks. Beautifully designed, The Infinite features interviews with leaders in VR and contemporary art. It perfectly complements the exhibition's role in rendering the innovation and collaboration in humanity's quest for the skies.

Thought Experiments
Jonathon Keats' work as an artist and thinker is compelling for our time. Keats poses critical questions, asks us to fundamentally reconsider our assumptions, and proposes radical methods of response. In a time when the environment and human lifeways are experiencing unprecedented change, thought leaders like Keats are needed to encourage us to consider possibilities--from the absurd to the profound. Since the turn of the millennium, Keats has comprehensively extended his academic training in philosophy by prolifically presenting conceptual art projects that he refers to as "thought experiments." These include installations and performances in museums and galleries around the globe. His motivations are to make space for exploring ideas, offering provocations, and confronting systems we generally take for granted. By prototyping alternative realities--systematically asking "what if?"--these projects probe the world in which we live, exploring the potential for societal change.

Idea Colliders
A provocative call for the transformation of science museums into “idea colliders” that spark creative collaborations and connections. Today's science museums descend from the Kunst-und Wunderkammern of the Renaissance—collectors' private cabinets of curiosities—through the Crystal Palace exhibition of 1851 to today's “interactive” exhibits promising educational fun. In this book, Michael John Gorman issues a provocative call for the transformation of science museums and science centers from institutions dedicated to the transmission of cultural capital to dynamic “idea colliders” that spark creative collaborations and connections. This new kind of science museum would not st...
Art's Realism in the Post-Truth Era
Arguing for the necessity of taking art's contribution to contemporary realism seriously, this edited collection intervenes on contemporary debates about realism by demonstrating that the arts do not simply illustrate philosophical theories. The significance of art's realism in times characterised by the normalisation of fake, manipulated and distorted representations of reality can only be fully understood by attending to the ways that the arts mediate, visualise and even shape reality. Each chapter features a different approach to realism and its aesthetic dimensions not only in the visual arts, but also in sound art, film, scientific imaging and literature.
The Shock of Recognition
In The Shock of Recognition, Lewis Pyenson examines art and science together to shed new light on common motifs in Picasso’s and Einstein’s education, in European material culture, and in the intellectual life of one nation-state, Argentina.
