Curiosity and the Art of Reimagining Scientific Discovery (21st Century Renaissance, Ep.3, Part 1)

This is Episode 3, Part 1 of "21st Century Renaissance" video podcast series. (Watch Part 2 here:    • Curiosity and the Art of Reimagining Scien...  ) Following a special presentation from my guest with an overview of her art-science practice, we dive into an in-depth discussion about her diverse body of artworks bridging disjointed scientific fields - anywhere from the "macro" of astrophysics and solar corona to the "micro" of neurons and coronavirus. She also tells her personal stories of turning disadvantages and crises such as dyslexia and brain tumor into learning opportunities and creative inspirations. 00:00:00 Introduction of the guest 00:04:15 Presentation: Making the Invisible, Visible 00:32:04 Sense of wonder kept alive despite dyslexic childhood. Doing science on an artist's term. The gift of neurodiversity as hidden blessing. 00:38:27 Santiago Ramón y Cajal's unique discovery. Drawing as an instrument for deep processing 00:42:02 Reconnecting myopic and siloed scientific fields with art 00:44:30 Contrast and connection between the macro and the micro 00:46:20 Wonders of aurora borealis - its physics, chemistry, aesthetics and historical events ABOUT THE GUEST Rebecca Kamen, sculptor and lecturer on the intersections of art and science, seeks ‘the truth’ through observation. Her artwork is informed by wide-ranging research into cosmology, neuroscience, history, philosophy, and by connecting common threads that flow across various scientific fields to capture and re-imagine what the scientists see. Currently, Professor Kamen is serving as artist in residence in The Computational Neuroscience Initiative and the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Pennsylvania. ABOUT 21ST CENTURY RENAISSANCE Taking cues from the European Renaissance, which emerged from the Dark Ages amidst plagues, trade, and wars, we fancy a new renaissance in the context of the 21st century, as we confront a potent mix of humanity-level existential challenges. What might enable a desperately-needed renewal, and catalyze a profound transformation? What lessons can we learn from history? How can we shape the future for better trajectories? How will the changing world order hasten or hinder such trajectories? What inspirations can be drawn for personal renewal, whether or not a large-scale societal renaissance materializes? The new podcast will interview authors, thinkers, practitioners, artists, scientists, creative leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs who reimagine a world of possibilities, going beyond or even against prevailing narratives and methodologies. It showcases promising new explorations, approaches, and organizations, as well as those that have been on the fringe, daring to ask probing new questions, reframe problems, and reinvent systems for a creative rebirth. The conversations are themed around what we imagine as cornerstones of a 21st Century Renaissance: The Da Vinci Way: convergence of knowledge Better understanding of the mind / consciousness New kind of humanism, vis-a-vis technology, spirituality, and nature Return to beauty: aesthetics as important human value OUTRO MUSIC COURTESY: Rayko of Lolita Dark, www.Rayko.com
