Jury for virtual SAN-AAAS-DC Science Art Exhibit (Feb 17-21)
|
Week 1
December 4 |
Click on the image for an enlargement.
Please provie a score for each category, determine if the image ranks as "Yes", "No", "Hold for Now", and return your completed Excel scoresheet to darrylw@stanford.edu, copying cpbvk@juno.com by Thursday December 9, The second set of images will be sent to Barbara Rice Saturday December 11, with a return date no later than December 17th, and so on through the month of December. The first week of January we'll determine the finalists. This wil allow only three weeks to confir with researchers, and have the artists review their entries, so there's virtually no wiggle room. Thank you very much for your participation on the jury, and good luck. I would ask that Barbara send me this week the names and email addressed of all AAAS participants for our records.

Category: ENERGY
Topic: 58. If Termites Can Do It, Why Can't Humans?
[That is, "If termites can build soil-based towers that maintain steady internal temperatures of 86°F, why can’t humans build indoor environments without excessive need for external energy?"...or as this painting shows, What temperature-regulating strategies can humans learn from poikilotherms like this Collared Lizard?"]

Category: CLIMATE CHANGE
Topic 17. Changing Climate, Changing Approaches: Conservation in the Face of Climate Change
[That is, "whether standard efforts or more radical, transformative approaches are appropriate for habitat conservation, and the importance of evolutionary change as a potential component of species and ecosystem resilience. ...or as this painting shows what happens to the Emerald Toucanet and the Spiny-headed Treefrog as the tropical cloud forests begins to dry-up?".]

Category: LAND AND OCEANS
Topic: 101. Global and Local Responses to the Nitrogen Challenge
[That is, "reactive nitrogen is an essential resource" that has costs and benefits...and, as this painting suggests, there are many routes for nutrient cyclying in Borneo's dwarf forests, known as “kerangas, from which to learn.]

Category: EMERGING SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
Topic: 45. Growth and Form in Mathematics, Physics and Biology
[That is, ,"the role of physical laws [are] embodied mathematically as the fundamental determinant of structure and form of organisms" (e.g.,Darcy Thompson, On Growth and Form) ...here, the arist notes that her image shows how the bilateral symmetry of many living creatures can be emulated through fluid dynamics.]

Category: BRAIN AND BEHAVIOR
Topic: 4. From Artificial Limbs to Virtual Reality: How the Brain Represents the Body
[That is, "answers to the question of how we perceive our own bodies and interact with our world are just emerging"... here the artist notes that his central figure is engineering the
biomechanical animals around him, creating his own world from metal, wire,
and ultimately ones and zeros", a work that emerged from "a meditation on the nature of reality and what we perceive as real.]

Category: SUSTAINABILITY
Topic: 150. Resource Use and Ecological Resilience in a Tropical Socio-Ecological System
[That is, "many factors influence whether resource-use patterns will be sustainable" ... Here, the artist portrays long-lived Galapagos Giant Tortoises whose diet has been severely simplified.]
