Science-Art Interactions in Asia with Particular Reference to India
Coordinator: Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa
Abstract: While North America, Europe and Australia are basking in the glory of new wave science-art collaborations and reaping all the benefits that these interactions are bringing, there are some parts of the world that are relatively untouched by these happenings! Asia, to which the Indian subcontinent belongs, remains almost immune to the developments happening around the world in this subject. With the exception of China, we hardly find any science-art projects here. Moreover, the few science-art interactions that are occurring are concentrated in China, India, Singapore, Indonesia, UAE and Japan. Interestingly these areas with healthy scientific backgrounds are relatively high on the economic scales too in Asia. If we search for science-art interactions in this region, we mostly come up with science and technology assisted art rather than pure science art. This paper discusses the reasons for the dismal performance of science art and science based art in relation to the dynamics of the art world mechanisms in this region and suggests ways to remove the road blocks to make science based art flourish here.
I believe your concern, to develop science topics
and art as being of major importance
You insist passionately the ideas that are sure contributions to culture
universal, despite some areas dominated by private specialists
they are trained and that the contest that you promote it.
Developing the science and art theme is based on your
values accumulated millennia Indian culture such as:
the truth value, the good value the beauty and value.
Of course today must recognize that wherever we find
the science must participate in the development of these values with others
that we could highlight.
These values are found in university culture but senses that fall
from the Indian perspective are related to specific education.
I think that other people who have not received Indian education,
have feelings of social meanings of these values, and contribute to their support.
They are contained in Indian aesthetics to be associated with other values
to be the attention of aesthetic thinkers for additions to the chapters:
disinterested interest, as sensory art experience, art knowledge dependent and others.

We don’t get to see science art in India and Asia. When there is no art, naturally there won’t be any information on it. This indeed an interesting attempt not only to provide the details but also to take the sick man to the doctors. Let us see how the doctors can help the ailing man. Look forward to reading the full paper.
Dr. Krishna …i’m reading from time to time all out yours endeavors for the entire New research for creativity in the field of Science-Art.So far i saw your art work on several sites closely correlating..the feelings of natural laws rather even connected with pure science & applied science. i opined that science based art ..has given the magnificent impetus to the present Art scenario.ONLY need to get recognition …!!
So far as to the best of knowledge & on-line study …no one from Asia rather India has attempted the way you generate the Science-Art..concept !! Definitely,one day art lovers realize and associate to strengthen your research project from many ways in meritorious way to remember you as pioneer by Art community & new generation.
My best wishes ..Always feel to share & associate with u the concept of ” Eco Friendly Organic Art ” made from thrown out ingredients of our mother earth on Bark Canvas of Palm tree.
Warm regards ..best wishes…Basant soni
