Women in Science? Science in Art? UMC Art Gallery 
Question: What do you get when you team nine artists with nine scientists? Answer: Nine new works of art exploring the intersection of art and physics, chemistry, mathematics, and technology.
Women in Science? Science in Art? is the first event in the "CU Special Year of Art and Math," a year long celebration of the intersection of the two distinct disciplines- art and science. This project is funded in part through the Colorado Council on the Arts, and will feature events on the CU-Boulder campus and in the Boulder community throughout 2005. Curated by the Colorado Women's Art Caucus, this exhibition features the work of artists Catherine Carilli, Annette Coleman, Madeline Dodge, Linda Everson, Kathleen Ferguson, Carla Farsi, Susann Gordon, and Tilli Urban. Each artist has spent the last year collaborating with a partner mathematician, chemist, physicist, engineer, biologist, or atmospheric scientist to create new works of art based on common interest and a desire to apply new knowledge to an area of expertise. Included are large scale satellite photographs with 'ghost images' to evoke the degradation of planet Earth, oil paintings inspired by the water filtration process, and an installation of an Aspen forest to shine light on parallels of process between art and the fiber of life, DNA, which must breaking apart, cut, move, and re-glue to replicate similar to the process of making art. Also included is community project Petri-Dish fractals. The petri dishes are an example of the interdisciplinary connection between art and science. The cell-like containers hold miniature artworks of abstract forms and patterns, much like those found in a variety of scientific processes. Each dish is scanned into a computer. Using mathematical formulas, the images and shuffled, sliced, and diced to continually renew and create new images.
