SCIENTIFIC SCIENARIOS 
in (and for) ART

A European Project
Agreement n. 2008 - 2254 / 001 - 001 CTU MECOAN
 SCIENAR
The project SCIENAR takes into account the common European
Cultural heritage, that is profoundly based on the links existing
between Science & Art, from the very beginning of the Greek
Culture, through Renaissance, until present time.
It aims to build an interdisciplinary approach using mainly
digital technologies to explore the present day interactions of
these two facets of our Culture, bringing together both
communities of “Human Culture” and “Scientific Culture”.

From Plato to Leonardo da Vinci (Renaissance) until Picasso & Einstein /XX Century)
 SCIENAR
The starting and leading idea is that these two facets are NOT
separate entities – as they frequently happen to be considered –
but just two facets of the SAME Culture, which encompasses all
human endeavours to understand, represent and trascend the
whole of our knowledge of “reality” in which we live.
Two facets that share a common past, a common present and a
common future; two facets the mutual interrelationships of
which are profound and extremely important.

From Plato to Leonardo da Vinci (Renaissance) until Picasso & Einstein /XX Century)
 SCIENAR
A further leading idea, in fact, is that Mathematics – the basic
language of all Science and in fact fundamental for the
development of many oher fields of Human thought – subtly
pervades our everyday’s life. In particular we shall be exploring
in SCIENAR – from various viewpoints – the deep interrelations
that existed and still exist between Mathematics & Art, basing
our work on the continuous and reciprocal benefit that each one
of these two disciplines can gain from the other. Mathematics
can be more easily understood when it becomes clear that
“mathematical structures” provide a description and sometimes a
language for the corresponding structures existing, more or less
manifestly, in artworks; as well as Art – a creative and
imaginative act - can be helped or even inspired by techniques or
reasonings that belong to the field of Science and to the
constructive and descriptive language of Mathematics.
 SCIENAR
As it was stated in the declaration of SCIENAR, Mathematics
has evolved alongwith our way of conceiving, perceiving,
experimenting and representing “reality”; while Art develops the
means to harmonise, describe, represent aesthetically, trascend
and transfigure the World of our sensations and perception.
History of Arts and Sciente tell us tha Mathematics and
Figurative Arts (Painting, Sculpting, Carving) have often
developed in parallel.
A completely analogous pathway is
recognizable in other forms of
Visual Art, in Architecture, in Music,
in all forms of “modern and
contemporary Art”, from Photography
to Film, up to Digital Art.

 SCIENAR
The project SCIENAR is based on the following starting points.
A) The Need of Visualizing Science to Better Comunicate it.
Our senses have been forged, through millenniums, by and around
the physical conditions we commonly encounter in our life. Science
of XX Century started to study more profound aspects that are far
from our common experience. Difficulties arise if one tries to
visualize them, but an escare is offered by Digital Technologies, that
make it possibile to represent and visualize “modified realities” or
“alternative worlds”.
 SCIENAR
The project SCIENAR is based on the following starting points.
B) Virtual Laboratories as a Mean to Better Understand and
Teach Science.
Interactivity is the essence of Science and Digital Technologies; it
allow us to create “Virtual Laboratories” where the genuine
interactive process of making Science can be easily and fruitfully
reproduced.

The project SCIENAR is based on the following starting points.
C) The Deep Interplay between Science and Art.
The Digital Technologies provide a rather good mean to explore the
interplay between Science and Art. The common European cultural
heritage is profoundly based on these links and the New
Technologies allow us to explore and represent these fruitful
relationships in a way that was unthinkable before. Mathematics
intersects all aspects of “Cultural Industry”.
As a modern example we can mention “Fractal
Art” – Habel (pseudonymous of Antonio
D’Anna) said in this field:“The scientific
component is present only at the level of study
[…] the creative act is by no means mortified
[…] and it remains the undiscussed
protagonist […] it would be impossible to
repeat a painting, while repetitivity is a Haebel -
founding value of scientific work.” Fractal Cube
 SCIENAR
The project SCIENAR is based on the following starting points.
D) The Digital Technologies as a Tool to Produce New Art.
In our days Science in general – and Mathematics in particular –
play a direct and explicit role in several forms of Art (visual, plastic
and musical). We mention methods to generate Art and Music by
means of computers and electronic devices.
From mathematical concepts and
scientific scenarios it is then possibile
to extract classical and modern pieces
of Art, as well as to realize
environments that offer innovative
spaces composed of images, sounds
and tools for generating new artistic
and creative forms.

 SCIENAR
The project SCIENAR is based on the following starting points.
E) Art and Digital Technologies as Tools to Produce New Science.
Albert Einstein stated once that “The Artist and the Scientist each
substitute a self-created world for the experiential one, with the goal
of trascendence”. And Martin Minsky pointed out the importance of
artistic representations to better understand scientific concepts: “No
matter what one’s purposes, perhaps the most powerful methods of
human thought are those that help us find new kinds of
representations”.

Stephen Wilson:“The role of the

Artist is not only to interpret and
spread scientific knowledge, but to
be an active partner in determining
the direction of research”.

 SCIENAR
The project SCIENAR explicitly aims in particular to:
1) create an interactive environment for
both Scientist and Artists, where Scientists
can explore the role that Mathematics plays in
understanding and making Art, as well as
produce mathematical objects that are useful
in Art; while Artists can found mathematical
structures and forms that they can directly use,
without needing the subtleties of
Mathematics, to inspire and produce their
artworks;

 SCIENAR
The project SCIENAR explicitly aims in particular to:
2) review and analyze the existing scientific
environments for producing artistic objects,
implement them with new environments,
create a “standard” portal - “MARs” - where
the existing interactions between Matematics
and Art can be reviewed and easily retrieved;
 MATHEMATICS & ART
THE WEB PORTAL “MArs”
The Web Portal “Mars” was a “prelude” to the activities of SCIENAR. It
remained as a “localized experiment”, aimed to presenting Art as a way to
approach Mathematics, enjoying the beauty of the structures that exist in our
vision and in our representation of the World, to eventually reconstruct its
structures and all the theoretical tools that are necessary to understand and to
elaborate its essence. As a second aim there was of course the desire to stimulate
further applications of Mathematics to various fields of Human culture.

 SCIENAR
The project SCIENAR explicitly aims in particular to:
3) formalize and develop three scientific
scenarios in which the interaction between
Mathematics and Art can be understood,
visualized and used to create new Art
(installations in the domain of Art & Science,
exhibits concerning Art & Science);
 SCIENAR

WP1: Project start-up and Analysis of existing scientific environments for producing artistic objects 1st
–3rd month
Objectives:
• T o individuate among partners existing scientific environments and useful materials to be used in the project
Description:
• In this phase pre-existing environments and materials within partnership will be individuated and analysed
in order to evaluate and to use them in the project.
• In particular, first of all the following programs/materials will be considered:
• T he Mathematica package. With Mathematica artists can think at a higher level and by means of it they can
create complex objects all at once. The functional programming capabilities of Mathematica let artists easily
build up complex algorithms from simple parts. This system has been realized at the University of
Technology in Bratislava - Slovakia
• T he results achieved within the Connection in Space project, available on the Website
w ww.connectionsinspace.co.uk and on a CD-ROM, that has been distributed free to the Heads of Science
of all secondary schools in the UK. In the project connection with geometry and space are individuated and
treated. This project has been realized with the collaboration of Virtual Image ltd in Stockport – England.
• A p p lications concerning Einstein’s Theory of Special Relativity. In these applications, a “sensible”
dimension of the last century on an equal footing with the three sensible dimensions of space is considered:
the Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity is at the top of this line of thought and should not be surprising
that Einstein had influence on Picasso and Dalì.
Expected results:
- R eport about the analysis and survey activities
- R eport about the Mathematica tool and its use from artists
- R eport about Connection in the space materials to be used in the project
1. R eport about the Applications concerning Einstein’s Theory of Special Relativity and their use for producing
artistic objects

WP2: Formalization and development of new scientific scenarios 1st -8th month
Objectives:
• T o individuate and to select existing material on three different scenarios, suitable to be used for the project
• P r eparation and gathering of contents for the reproduction of the three scenarios
• A d aptation of scientific data to the needs of the project
Description:
In this phase three scientific scenarios, that is, Scenario 1: Relativity; Scenario 2: Geometry, Scenario 3:
Symmetries will be defined and formalized. Also their functionalities will be individuated. Geometry and Relativity
scenarios will be designed and developed mainly from University of Calabria, with the contribution of Slovak
University of Technology in Bratislava. The Geometry scenario is first introduced as the “art of measurement”
together with its logical-deductive structure (as it was followed by ancient Greeks to describe, analyse and
understand extended objects in space). Synthetic Geometry is consequently introduced at different levels of
abstraction and understanding (Set Theory, abstract and structured Spaces, Morphisms and Transformations
between Spaces, Topology, Erlangen’s programme and Klein’s work, in which Geometry is defined as the study of
the invariant properties with respect to a characterizing Group of Transformations). It is then shown how and why
Symmetry plays a dominant role in understanding Art through Mathematics (or Mathematics through Art). Topics
covered include Curves and Surfaces, Euclidean Optics, Projective Spaces and Perspective,
Tessellation of Surfaces (together with Penrose’s and Escher’s work), Fractals, Knots, Crystallographic Groups,
Curvature and non-Euclidean Art. Also in the Relativity scenario, comparisons with old theories are made and it is
treated the path from Galilean physics to Einstein theory. Concerning symmetries, the project intends to treat the Art
and Science of Symmetry Breaking, starting from the experience of Virtual Image Ltd partner. The aim will be to
inspire new works of art by introducing the artists to the idea of broken symmetries, as applied in physical contexts.
There are good aesthetic reasons to expect that a discussion of symmetry breaking might be valuable to the artists.
Although some symmetry in an artwork might be appealing, too much is monotonous and uninteresting. Indeed, the
most symmetrical artwork would be an infinite blank canvas. A musical example of the aesthetic value of a small
amount of broken symmetry is the preference for the rhythms of a human drummer over the relentless perfect
repetition of a drum machine.

This phase, in particular, consists in:
• Collection of information data
• M a t hematics formalization of scientific scenarios
- D efinition of an approach underlining how each scenarios change during the time, that is, how each
arguments has been treated in classic period and, instead, it is treated now.
- I n dividuation of possible connection with Art world
- I n dividuation of basic multimedia libraries and functions necessary to produce artistic objects (musical
pieces, graphics objects, pictures, etc.)
- D evelopment of three scientific scenarios
During this phase, scientific experts and artists will cooperate in order to produce scenarios coming from will be
possible to extract artistic objects.

WP3: Utilization of scientific scenarios for producing objects having artistic and cultural value and
experimentation 8th –16th month
Objectives:
• C reation of artistic objects (music pieces, digital art objects, etc)
- E xperimentation of innovative interaction models among artists, scientists and technologic experts
- T esting scenarios and artistic objects from different point of views.
Description:
Artists will be involved in order to give artistic and cultural value to scientific objects produced in the previous
activity. They will work by using tools and functionalities of the scenarios and will interact, if necessary, assisted by
technical support.
This activity will contain also 1 intense preliminary interactive session, with invited artists and Scientists working on
the first activity in order to introduce the scenarios/theme.
This session will be organized taking into account a model defined from Interactive Institute (Sweden), within the
Man Machine project. It is an experiment on how it is possible to merge science and art and taking care of the
energies that are created when engineers, scientists and artists meet in the best way. The project has a number of
parameters that build up the model but which can be altered according to the aims set up for a project: Number of
artists and engineers, Conceptual frames, Time and Budget.
This interactive session is considered as an intercultural exchange event. Additionally, scenarios and produced
objects have to be tested from different points of view: artists have to provide feedback on scenarios in terms of
usability and user-friendliness of interfaces, and on produced objects in terms of artistic value. Remote artists have to
test the virtual scenarios published on the web to evaluate from home if they are easy to use and understandable.
Expected results:
- A r tistic objects (music pieces, digital art objects, etc)
- R eport for each produced artistic object
- R eport of interactive sessions among scientists, technological experts and artists
- R eport about the used interactive model (Man Machine model)

WP4: Spreading of this new approach and interchange events 12th –24th month
Objectives:
• T o organize dissemination and interchange events and initiatives for cultural operators, artists and scientific
experts
Description:
Events (intercultural exchanges and exhibitions) to spread the produced artistic items will be carried out.
Intercultural exchanges, that is interactive dialogues and informative tables, will be carried out by involving all
partners. We foresee two intercultural exchanges, organized by the University of Calabria (Italy – Cosenza) and the
Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava (Slovakia).
Intercultural exchanges will be very stressed in 2008 year (2008 – European year of intercultural dialogue) and will
involve artists, scientists, technologic experts, and cultural players, (it is not necessary that they play the same
typology of activity).
Concerning exhibitions we foresee two events, having as target cultural operators, artists and scientific experts.
An exhibition will be organized by Interactive Institute in Stockholm, in collaboration with the Technical Museum in
Stockholm and/or Avesta Verket. Thanks to experience in this kind of work of Interactive Institute, we will also
make sure that the exhibition is easy to transport and set up in other participating countries.
The other exhibition will be done with the contribution of the Institute for Computers, in Bucharest, by involving the
Art University from Bucharest and the Museum of Contemporary Art (Bucharest). Coming from these dissemination
and interchange events it is possible the production of new artistic objects and, eventually, the improvement of that
already realized.
