The article proposes a novel model for ArtScience collaborations that is based on more equal roles. With better power balance, artists and scientists can together create projects that truly synthesize their fields. Additionally, it is suggested that these collaborations can significantly contribute to social change through socially engaged research. The article focuses on the transformative potential of the collaboration process itself. The presented case study is the authors’ collaboration in creating hybrids of participatory performance art and social psychology experiments. It contributes new methodological approaches to the expanding field of ArtScience collaborations.

Parameter mapping sonification is a powerful tool for data display and analysis with uses in a myriad of fields of study. Despite the wide range of applications, parameter mapping sonification remains abstruse for people to utilize effectively. This article outlines an original design in the domain of parameter mapping sonification applications for a flexible, extensible and intuitive web app that democratizes this data display method. Sonification Interface for REmapping Nature (SIREN) accomplishes these goals through an accessible interface for sonification that demonstrates various web technologies, including Web Audio API. Existing frameworks are compared in five different areas—technology, design, functionality, accessibility, and extensibility—to determine the optimal gap for SIREN.

This paper describes a way to use blockchain-based non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to address some fundamental failures of the art world introduced when the early-twentieth-century evolution of financial markets expanded to include objets d’art as commodities. It proposes the creation of a distributed autonomous organization (DAO) that uses domain experts’ Delphic consensus methods embedded in smart contracts to provide NFTs with meaningful nonfinancial assessments of intrinsic artistic qualities and merit. Full details of the blockchain implementation and organizational development are online, registered at https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/3DF4W with the Open Science Foundation as a large-scale participant/observer social science experiment.

The histories of finance and music are more interconnected than they might at first appear. From ancient ideas on the mathematical harmony of the universe to ultra-contemporary approaches driven by networked data, the flow of sounds and the circulation of capital have long traced one another’s shadow. Indeed, since the publication of Jacques Attali’s Noise in 1977, musicologists and sound scholars have been probing how music as an expression of mathematical knowledge has intersected with a range of intellectual, social, and economic shifts.

This paper delineates the authors’ practice-based findings from The Algorithmic Pedestal exhibit, a practice-based research project examining the impact of algorithmic curation on visual ecology. Instagram, a platform that deploys algorithmic recommendations to select and display artworks, was instructed to choose a set of images from the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s collection to display. A London-based artist also chose images to display from the same collection. In this paper, the authors reflect on the process of producing an exhibit with both machinic and human curatorial inputs; they also share and describe the selected images for the first time.

Nested Cinema is an original immersive experience that complicates the boundaries between the physical and the virtual, between the real and the imaginary. Nested Cinema reimagines film through the orchestration of technology across three distinct layers of experience – traditional screens, the installation space and cinematic virtual reality – giving rise to a new immersive mode of dramatic fiction and expanded cinema. By combining established and emerging production and presentation technologies, the project explores the narrative and atmospheric effects of a nested multimodal environment, as well as new modes of installation visitor engagement, and novel audio-visual expression and communication.

I was recently asked to share thoughts on how to co-create the future in honor of International Women’s Day, for Creative Switzerland. My first thought was a question: Who are the cartographers mapping human futures today? In reply, I turn to the pages of Leonardo and the work across the Leosphere that chart a course forward led by irrepressible curiosity, experimental collaborations, and creative sparks of experience and inquiry. I think of women whose vision, ingenuity, and resilience inspire us all. Women of valor who interweave strength with courage and humility. I think of men whose insights, vulnerability, humor, and humanity enable us all. Men of true grit, grace, and generosity. I think of people of all genders embracing the truth of who we are at our core. I think of those who are emerging and those yet to come. My unborn granddaughter, my nieta, and the generations to follow. These are the mapmakers shaping our shared future.

The study of bacterial art provides an opportunity to investigate the philosophical framework of object-oriented ontology (OOO). This viewpoint challenges traditional human-centered perspectives by highlighting the autonomy and agency of all objects, including microorganisms. Objects have their own inherent properties and are regarded as equal actors in the world. The authors highlight the dynamic relationship between humans and microorganisms and the agency of bacteria in bioart. Bacterial art raises concerns regarding control, authorship, aesthetics, and ethics, necessitating interdisciplinary discussions and critical evaluations. This study provides an intriguing case examining the implications of OOO at the intersection of science and art.

The author discusses his work creating programmable, generative analogue drawing machines over six decades in the context of the constructivist tradition and influenced by the Bauhaus German art school and the subsequent art, science, and technology movement. During the first three decades he developed a variety of machines and from 1990 followed a more analytical approach focusing on randomness, chaos, and subjectivity in art. This progressed to the author’s PhD research program wherein he investigated innovative analogue programming systems that employed direct current motors, linkages, and cranks together with programmers, actuating motors for a variety of timed pulses. These enabled variables such as pen-lift and rotation, forward/reverse pen action, light drawing, sine waves, turntable and drum machines, and versions of X:Y plotters.

This paper proposes to teach students biology through dance. Knowledge of nucleotides, amino acids, and structures of DNA and protein is used to create dance music and choreography. The three nucleotides (A, T, G, or C) making up the amino acids of selected proteins are converted into a musical note. In accordance with DNA’s double helix structure and base-pairing, the authors designed a low-cost, in-house Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) machine to allow for a dual player dance mode that requires students to synchronize their choreography during gameplay.
本文建议通过舞蹈向学生传授生物学知识。利用核苷酸、氨基酸以及 DNA 和蛋白质结构的知识来创作舞蹈音乐和舞蹈编排。构成选定蛋白质氨基酸的三个核苷酸（A、T、G 或 C）被转换成音符。根据 DNA 的双螺旋结构和碱基配对，作者设计了一种低成本的内部舞蹈革命（DDR）机，允许双人舞蹈模式，要求学生在游戏过程中同步编排舞蹈。
