Where are the connections?

• Art in physics
• Physics in art
• Similar patterns in physics and art

1. Art in physics

• Patterns, patterns, patterns.
• Diffraction, interference, turbulent flow,
• shockwaves, absorption and emission spectra,
• collions pictures from LEP, cloud and
• bubble chamber pictures
• Electrostatic and magnetic fields
• (see later 3-D MODELS)
• The beauty is always there!!

2. Physics in art

• The theory of diffraction in the work of the
  pointillism painters. (The role of the
  observer!! Colors change with the distance of the
  observer to the painting) Manet, Seurat
• Strange equilibrium in some sculptures Caesare
• Oscillations, standing waves S. Van Aerschot
• Archimedes law V. Janssen, S. Van Aerschot
• Attraction and repulsions with magnets/electromagn
  ets Takis, B.Gray
• Fluiddynamics Riley
• Aerodynamics Panamarenko
• ............

3. Similar patterns between physics and art

• Sometimes a scientist is inspired by arts
• e.g. Scientist/engineers kinetic art
• e.g. Lorenzo Cimadevila Margarita, A. Calder
• Sometimes an artist is inspired by sciences
• Panamarenko
• Coincidence in similarity?
• Diffractionpatterns Vasarely
• Emission/absorptionspectra Rothko
• Collisionpatterns Art Robotica

My work

• 3- D Magnetic and Electrostatic Field Pattern
  Models Birth 1994
• Expected lifetime a schoolcarreer??
• 3- D Diffraction, interference patterns
• Paintings of light diffraction patterns
• New work inspirated by the HST program

Use?

• Use 1 to make the classroom more attractive,
  artfull, alive.
• Use 2 as a break after doing measurements s.a.
  tracking fieldlines by measuring the voltage
  between different elektrodes playing with clay
  and wire, being creative and inventive
• Use 3 while doing exercises pupils can take the
  models and find out more easily how to draw some
  vectors (excersises with the Lorentz-force)
• Use 4 As an extra help to memorize.

21
Can fyslets replace them?

• Yes, for the visual apect.
• No, for the physical contact!!!
• Feeling
• Touching
• Holding
• Hugging
• Squeezing .. (with another magnet of
  course)

Bubble chamber pictures

• I hope the pictures will keep on bubbling my
  inspiration and creativity!
• THANK YOU Gron!!
