SUMMARY:Art-Science Lecture at the Harn Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:Art-Science Lecture \n\nOn August 3rd\, 2013\, Xavier Cortada will deliver a lecture on his art-science practice at the Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art in Gainesville\, FL.  Cortada often collaborates with scientists in his art-making: \nAt CERN\, Cortada worked with a physicist to develop a site-specific art installation capturing the five search strategies which the CMS experiment has used to discover a new Higgs-like particle.  The five giant banners hang at the location (100m below the ground) where the particle was discovered. \nHe has also worked with a population geneticist on a project exploring our ancestral journeys out of Africa 60\,000 years ago\, with a molecular biologist to synthesize an actual DNA strand made from a sequence randomly generated by participants visiting his museum exhibit\, and with botanists in eco-art projects to reforest mangroves\, native treesand wildflowers. \nCortada is currently working with scientists at Hubbard Brook LTER on an water cycle visualization project driven by real-time data collected at a watershed in New Hamphire’s White Mountains. \nThe lecture will be part of the University of Florida’s Creative B programming. \n\nAbout the Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art \n\nMISSION STATEMENT\nThe University of Florida’s Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art collaborates with university and community partners to inspire\, educate and enrich people’s lives through art.
