The Diatrope Institute disseminates information and engages in research exploring art, science and visual studies.

Leonardo Digital Reviews is the work of an international panel of scholars and professionals invited from a wide range of disciplines to review books, exhibitions, CD-ROMs, Web sites, and conferences. Collectively they represent an intellectual commitment to engaging with the emergent debates and manifestations that are the consequences of the convergence of the arts, science and technology.

Art & Science collaborations, Inc. (ASCI) at www.asci.org
The purpose of Art & Science Collaborations, Inc.(ASCI) is to raise public awareness about artists and scientists using science and technology to explore new forms of creative expression, and to increase communication and collaborations between these fields. Their annual international ArtSci Symposium, 14-year old monthly ASCI BULLETIN, and ArtSci INDEX are valuable resources to the art-sci-technology community.

Art with Brain in Mind Listserv
The goal of this forum is to explore the relationship between art and the mind/brain. It has a multidisciplinary focus and is open to as wide a range of relevant issues as necessary. Topics range from the implications of the neural correlates of consciousness to the artistic and physiological roles of emotion to the possibilities of neurologically inherent aesthetic universals. This forum, a brainstorming platform, is informal and uninhibited: posting unconventional ideas, taking risks, or being open to a little silliness at times is not disallowed

Atelier Vision, John Jupe's site: www.ateliervision.co.uk
The art work of John Jupe establishes a new form of 2D illusionary space. This work builds on the legacy of other artists such as Chardin, Cezanne, Bonnard, Giacometti, Gowing etc. The work of all these artists can be seen to contain references to what has now been identified as an awareness of two separate images types or data sets in our mental projections of the world. The 'correct' configurations of these image types or data sets, establish depth cues unattainable in traditional picture space.

Art and Optics web site www.artandoptics.com/
Site for conference and subsequent debates on David Hockney collaboration with University of Arizona physicist Charles Falco. Hockeny and Falco propose that as far back as the 1420s Master Painters in the High Tradition were deploying optical devices to render lifelike images of people and their surroundings. The conference will bring together Hockney, Falco, and their principal supporters and skeptics among art and science historians, critics, scientists and painters for the first full public airing of their views.

The book as 'portrait' projects alternating lines of thought and feeling. They extend to the author's viewing points, and when you change your viewing angle, they reach toward yours. At this website I'd like you to find out more about both.  The sections of the site are designed so that you can learn more about my perspective and visit the book's PORTRAIT GALLERY. In it you can develop your own perspectives as you react to the subjective self, as I see it by means of my sketches, diagrams, and recommendations for the musical experiences that round out the portrait.

This site reviews Sync: The Emerging Science of Spontaneous Order by Steven Strogatz. Strogatz is a Cornell mathematician and pioneer of the science of synchrony, which brings mathematics, physics and biology to bear on the mystery of how spontaneous order occurs at every level of the cosmos, from the nucleus on up.
