9:30-11:00am: “Osmosis”: What Can the Arts Do for the Sciences? <br>
<br>
Art-Science interaction is a two-way process. The impact of science and
technology on the arts is much discussed and well-documented. This
panel seeks
to examine the influence of the arts on the sciences, and the benefits
that
science can derive from the arts.<br>

<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Brilliant Noise: How
Data Becomes
Experience for Artists and for Scientists </span><br>
<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><br>
Most information about the world we live in is now mediated by
instruments.
This data is often visualized and sonified, both to aid analysis and to
communicate with other researchers, but artists, too, can make this
data
meaningful and “sensual.” The same data sets can lead to very different
kinds
of work. One person’s noise is another person’s sound.<br>

2:00-3:30pm: The New Sensuality: Epistemologies of the Very, Very Small</span>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><br>
Human cognition is bounded by the inadequacy of human senses to allow
us
sensory contact with the world on scales larger or smaller than
ourselves. To
perceive the nano world one needs extended senses or new senses. The
nano world
requires a new ontology and a new epistemology.<br>
