Indigenous Visions: Native American Glass Artists Create

Show #250

Talking about the art and science of working in glass to represent themes from indigenous cultures while combining the techniques of glass making with traditional art forms. Our guest artist will help us explore how modern art can be combined with cultural art to help advocate on behalf of indigenous people. We will look at the traditional role of art in indigenous culture, how art becomes central to the objects being created, and how glass objects become more than just utilitarian.

Guests

Preston Singletary, Glass Artist; Mary Childs, Director of the Sandwich Glass

Clusters, Nebulae, and Galaxies, Oh My! Photographing the Night Sky

Show #248

Talking about the deep-sky objects you can capture with simple photographic techniques. We will explore the science of the objects as well as the equipment we can use. Our guests will help you understand what types of equipment you can use, how the atmosphere affects what you see, and how to start with the objects you already are familiar with. Join us on this exciting cosmic journey.

daVinci Art Science Roundtable –

Neuroradiology: The Brain, Mind, and Leonardo DaVinci

daVinci Art Science Roundtable

The daVinci art science roundtables are a facilitated monthly series of exploratory discussions for artists and scientists to talk about the culture of their two fields and how they might collaborate more meaningfully. Ultimately, the discussions also explore how collaborations intersect with public understanding of science. The roundtables began with the basic assumptions that discussion between the artists and scientists had the potential to create new knowledge and ideas that would be of interest to the participants and eventually to the public as well. Join us for a stimulating talk by Dr. Suresh Mukherji on Neuroradiology, the Brain, Mind, and Leonardo daVinci. The event is free on Friday, October 13, 2023 from 1pm to 2pm EST.

Beyond What the Eye Can See: Deep Sky, Star Trails, Moons, and Galaxies

Show #248

Talking about star trail shooting. Using modern cameras to shoot beyond what the eye can see including the Orion Nebula and Andromeda Galaxy and how anyone with a small telescope can get great pics of the moon with any camera. We will also explore an upcoming event that will connect poets and amateur astronomers to explore the deep skies through images and poems.

Seeing Through the Lens of a Pencil: How Archaeologists Use the Art of Sketching to Better Visualize and Understand What They See

The Conversation

Show # 247 Talking about how drawing engages different parts of the brain and allows the archaeologist to highlight specific aspects of the excavation that are important to the interpretive process. Archaeologists, at times create simple sketches to record spatial relationships of stratigraphic layers, features, and artifacts, or to share ideas with one another as we develop our interpretation of past events. At times, he opts to create a scientific drawing, or map, that includes scale in order to visualize and understand what he is seeing.

Guests

Dr. Alex Elvis Badillo, Archaeologist and Assistant Professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Systems at Indiana State University; Dr. Jordan Rogers, Visiting Assistant Professor of Classics, Carleton College; Mary-Evelyn Farrior, Ph.D. candidate, Columbia University, Dr. Allison Emmerson, Director of the Pompeii I.14 Project, Tulane University.
