The purpose of Art & Science Collaborations, Inc. (ASCI) is to raise public awareness about artists and scientists who use science and technology to explore new forms of creative expression, and to increase communication and collaborations between these fields.

For Digital’07, ASCI is specifically looking at how structure and pattern in the universe, whether visible or invisible to the naked eye, have become the muse for many contemporary digital artists. They seek to explore how today’s scientific fields of systems science, chaos and string theory, fractals, nanoscience, genetics, molecular science, the wavelets or frequency of sound, or a myriad of other mathematical data-sets have influenced today’s artists, scientists, and technologists in creating 2-dimensional art of exquisite pattern.

The ASCI Exhibition of Digital Prints is to be held at the New York Hall of Science from 29 September 2007 – 21 January 2008. Deadline for this competition is 20 August 2007. Visit the site to learn more.
