Presentation Transcript

  1. Physics & Art

  2. Where are the connections? • Where are my connections?

  3. Where are the connections? • Art in physics • Physics in art • Similar patterns in physics and art

  4. 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 later3-D MODELS) • The beauty is always there!!

  5. Chladni figures Diffraction of light

  6. Magnetic field Momentum conservation

  7. 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/electromagnets; Takis, B.Gray… • Fluiddynamics; Riley • Aerodynamics; Panamarenko • ............

  8. Caesare Metal art

  9. Gray Takis

  10. Panamarenko

  11. 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/absorptionspectraRothko Collisionpatterns Art Robotica …..

  12. Unknown Calder

  13. Rothko Vasarely

  14. Where are my connections?

  15. 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

  16. A barmagnet

  17. U-magnet

  18. Repulsion between two point charges

  19. Attraction between two point charges

  20. 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)

  22. Bubble chamber pictures I hope the pictures will keep on bubbling my inspiration and creativity! THANK YOU Gron!!

  23. The discovery of anti-Ω particles

  24. The discovery of neutral particles
