Creative Turbulence Thursday, June 14th, 2018, 7pm-9pm Past Event Watch the video » The Creative Turbulence roundtable is the culmination of the Creative Turbulence art exhibition—on view at the New York Psychoanalytic Institute from the afternoon of Saturday, June 9th through Saturday, June 16th—of four artifacts fusing art and science in a collaborative creative process embodying the physics of fluid dynamics, turbulence, and complex systems, and exemplifying the experimental methodology at the root of art and science alike. Our roundtable will bring together artists and scientists exploring what is considered the last unsolved problem of classical physics, turbulence, its experimental and technical visualizations, and its many theoretical and philosophical implications, including: the emergence of complex, self-organized structures from the chaos of turbulence; entropy; quantum fluid dynamics; and condensed matter. Roundtable Discussion: Thursday, June 14th, 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm Art Exhibition Viewing Hours: Saturday, June 9th, 2:00pm to 5:00pm Monday, June 11th, 10:00 am to 5:00 pm Tuesday, June 12th, 10:00 am to 5:00 pm Wednesday, June 13th, 10:00 am to 5:00 pm Thursday, June 14th, 10:00 am to 9:00 pm Friday, June 15th, 10:00 am to 9:00 pm Saturday, June 16th, 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm Participants: R. Luke DuBois R. Luke DuBois is a composer, artist, and performer who explores the temporal, verbal, and visual structures of cultural and personal ephemera. He holds a doctorate in music composition from Columbia University, and has lectured and taught worldwide on interactive sound and video performance. He has collaborated on interactive performance, installation, and music production work… read more » Enrico Fonda Enrico Fonda is a Postdoctoral Researcher from Italy in the Department of Physics at the New York University. He has a master in theoretical physics and a PhD in fluid dynamics from the University of Trieste, and he worked as researcher at the University of Maryland, College Park. He is interested in cryogenic fluid mechanics… read more » Dana Karwas Dana is a research-based artist working with digital imagery, sculpture, installation, and painting. Her research explores the human (and post-human) relationship to the environment by colliding speculative architecture with empirical observation. This is driven by her love of the ironic in architecture—including intentional and unintentional zoomorphic structures, her fear of storms and the ocean—and her… read more » Denis Pelli Denis G.
