Stealth Drones is comprised of seven embroidery hoops hung in formation. Each hoop contains fractal patterns and ornamentation embroidered in white thread. The hoops are presented on a black velvet backdrop. At regular intervals UV lights are activated in the exhibition space. The embroideries react to the UV light and reveal a new type of information. Once the regular room lights are turned back on, this information disappears.
Please join us for our monthly LASER talk following the opening reception for Stealth Drone by Anne_Niemetz.
We are joining forces with the Fathomers to co-host a program of the National Academy of Sciences for a “Science Speed Dating” event dedicated to vibrant explorations of innovative research in 7 minutes or less,
Communication and games researcher Lonny J. Avi Brooks, AI researcher Philip Butler, aerospace systems engineer Tracy Drain, oceanographer Bethanie Edwards, robotics engineer Maynard Holliday, and theoretical physicist Clifford Johnson offer brief, energetic presentations on their research and work. Following the presentations, AFPC host Ahmed Best moderates a panel and Q&A with the speakers on the implications of their work to the shared experience of Black and Brown communities.

Leonardo da Vinci, Inventing the Future: Flight, Automata, Art, Anatomy, Biomorphism brings scholars, doctors, scientists, and artists together to discuss and view Leonardo’s influential work and legacy. His desire for new knowledge and understanding are examples of true interdisciplinary thinking, and this conference invites us all to consider approaching the future with expanded, Leonardo visions of what is possible.
Organized by: Noel G. Boyle, Professor of Medicine/Cardiology, UCLA; Massimo Ciavolella, Professor of Italian and Comparative Literature, UCLA; Morteza Gharib, Professor of Aeronautics and bioinspired Engineering, Caltech; Francis Wells, Cardiac Surgeon, Royal Papworth Hospital, and Cambridge University, UK

Sci|Art Lab+Studio is a highly competitive, 2-week summer program for high school juniors and seniors interested in collaborating with diverse and notable minds to challenge traditional, polarized perspectives of the arts and sciences.
This joint venture, between the California NanoSystems Institute (CNSI) and Department of Design | Media Arts, sponsored by the Art|Sci Center, brings together two of the most competitive majors at UCLA. This is an excellent opportunity for students interested in both science and art to build their portfolio for college admission as well earn FOUR UNITS of transferable UCLA CREDIT for the two-week course. The course will be supplemented with field trips, guest scholars and lecturers, while offering students the opportunity to experience college life on the UCLA campus.

In the exhibition UNDERSTANDING – ART & RESEARCH, curated by Gerald Bast, Alexander Damianisch and Barbara Putz-Plecko (Angewandte) 15 projects of artistic research practice, related work by the artistic researcher Margarete Jahrmann and the Angewandte Artistic Research PhD Program are presented -- all approaches challenging our established perspectives. The exhibition will enhance the understanding of possibilities of research through art in new ways and the driving force of inquiry, artistic and scientific activity. The desire and claim to contribute to the transformation of society can be viewed, examined, sensed, discussed and experienced through examples from research and teaching, science and art, design and architecture. The exhibition was newly adapted and designed for the Building Bridges Art Exchange gallery after presentations in New Zealand (Dunedin School of Art) and Singapore (Nanyang Technological University Singapore).
