Copenhagen June 4th – Join Leonardo programme! June 4th is going to be Leonardo Day in Copenhagen with 2 events: - The 4th Arts, Humanities and Complex Networks Symposium organised by Leonardo at NetSci (8:30 am – 5 pm) - The Data Body on the Dissection Table round table co-organised in the evening by Leonardo/Olats and the Medical Museion Copenhagen (6:30 – 9:30 pm)
* Short info on the 4th Arts, Humanities and Complex Networks Symposium The fourth Leonardo satellite symposium at NetSci2013 on Arts, Humanities, and Complex Networks takes place on June 4th at DTU in Copenhagen. The aim of the symposium is to foster cross-disciplinary research on complex systems within or with the help of arts and humanities. The symposium highlights arts and humanities as an interesting source of data, where the combined experience of arts, humanities research, and natural science makes a huge difference in overcoming the limitations of artificially segregated communities of practice. Furthermore, the symposium focuses on striking examples, where artists and humanities researchers make an impact within the natural sciences. By bringing together network scientists and specialists from the arts and humanities we strive for a better understanding of networks and their visualizations in general. The overall mission is to bring together pioneer work, leveraging previously unused potential by developing the right questions, methods, and tools, as well as dealing with problems of information accuracy and incompleteness. Running parallel to the NetSci2013 conference, the symposium also provides a unique opportunity to mingle with leading researchers and practitioners of complex network science, potentially sparking fruitful collaborations. more here: http://artshumanities.netsci2013.net/ * Short info on The Data Body on the Dissection Table Dissection reveals what lies beneath the skin, but for a brief moment in time, and for a priviledged few. Depictions, models, and preservations have long been used to share what dissection uncovers; from ancient anatomical drawings to today’s virtual 3D anatomies. Contemporary medical sciences reveal ever more about the complex systems of the human body – but at a barely perceptible level. The (medical) human body today is understood, tested, and treated as a huge system of data, including complex interactions between our genetic material, our environment, and our host of microbial companions. How do we grab hold of this data? How do we make sense of it and communicate it to others? How do contemporary artists and designers give our ‘data body’ material form through images, sound, and touch? What kind of tools are complex networks science proposing, and what kind of body do they reveal? Speakers include Albert-László Barabási, Distinguished Professor and Director of Northeastern University Center for Complex Network Research, Boston; François-Joseph Lapointe, Professor at the Biological Sciences Department, University of Montreal and Artist; Annamaria Carusi, Associate Professor in Philosophy of Medical Science and Technology at the University of Copenhagen and Jamie Allen, Artist and Head of Research at CIID/Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design. The event is co-organised by Leonardo/Olats and Medical Museion under the EU Studiolab framework, and in conjunction with the Leonardo Day "Arts, Humanities and Complex Networks" satellite event for NetSci 2103.
