项目摘要

This project is a collaboration between a team of star and planet formation scientists based at the University of Dundee (UoD), the UK artist duo Semiconductor, and art curator and researcher Adam Lockhart, also based at the UoD (Duncan of Jordanstone College of Arts & Design; DJCAD). Our aim is to use art as a vehicle to communicate scientific processes behind the technique of time-resolved spectroscopy to a broad spectrum of public, encouraging them to think and wonder about the capabilities of mapping what is nearly invisible, and to raise awareness in science communities about what art-science collaborations can achieve. Our current research work as part of the STFC Consolidated Grant "The Planet-Disk Connection" is based on the emission line tomography technique, using time-resolved spectroscopy data of young stellar systems to extract velocity information that can be transformed into a spatial picture of the environments around young stars and forming planets. We want to put the focus on the scientific techniques, not just the outcome, to make the public participate in the challenges faced by astrophysicists and the role of time in mapping space. By using art we want to both make it easier to introduce the complex techniques behind the methodology used and raise awareness about the scientific procedure, techniques, and limitations behind the science. This will trigger philosophical discussion around the role of technology and humans as observers of processes that are nearly invisible.Semiconductor will create a wall-based electronic artwork that examines the techniques employed by the scientists. The artwork will be exhibited at several well-established events and venues including Mills Observatory (Dundee 2021-22), NEoN Digital Arts Festival (Autumn 2021), and Scottish Universities Physics Alliance (SUPA) Cormack Astronomy Meeting (Edinburgh, Autumn 2021). We will also be looking to exhibit at festivals such as Edinburgh and Cheltenham Science Festival (Spring 2022) and others. This variety of events and venues will allow the project to reach broader sectors of the public than what we have had with science-only activities, from young people, 16-19 and older attending NEoN, families with school-aged children at Mills, and the scientific community via SUPA/Cormack. Through this mixture of venues and audiences, the aim is also to reach some sectors of the public that may not be so interested in pure STEM-based public engagement and, in addition, professionals and students of science and art. More generally, art has been shown to be successful in attracting sectors of the public that may not attend usual science exhibits, such as young people (aged 16-19) and in particular girls. We also aim to promote future similar collaborations between art and science among professional researchers and artists, and university students of science and art.In conjunction with the artwork, we will present scientific materials through talks and leaflets, and will enhance our presence using the web and social media to help the public participate in the search and discovery behind the scientific results. The artists will also give presentations on their work as leading artists in their field with an extensive history of art-science collaborations. One edition of the artwork will be archived at the DJCAD. This will allow for the impact of the project to be long-lasting, enabling access by artists, scientists, and the general public, as well as inspiring future new artists, scientists, and collaborations between them.COVID-19 note: Public venues are currently closed, but the initial part of our project (developing and building the artworks based on the collaboration between artists and scientists via meetings and discussion - which can be online) can start in lockdown. Public exhibitions will start in mid-to-late 2021. Web presence, social media and newsletter communications will run from the start of the project.

这个项目是邓迪大学（UoD）的一个星星和行星形成科学家团队，英国艺术家二人组半导体公司，以及艺术策展人和研究员亚当洛克哈特（邓肯的乔丹斯通艺术与设计学院; DJCAD）之间的合作。我们的目标是以艺术为载体，将时间分辨光谱技术背后的科学过程传达给广大公众，鼓励他们思考和怀疑绘制几乎不可见的东西的能力，并提高科学界对艺术科学合作可以实现的认识。我们目前的研究工作作为STFC综合赠款“行星盘连接”的一部分，是基于发射线层析成像技术，使用年轻恒星系统的时间分辨光谱数据来提取速度信息，这些信息可以转化为年轻恒星和形成行星周围环境的空间图像。我们希望把重点放在科学技术上，而不仅仅是结果，让公众参与天体物理学家面临的挑战和时间在绘制空间中的作用。通过使用艺术，我们希望既能更容易地介绍所用方法背后的复杂技术，又能提高人们对科学程序、技术和科学背后局限性的认识。这将引发围绕技术和人类作为几乎不可见的过程的观察者的角色的哲学讨论。半导体将创建一个基于墙壁的电子艺术品，以检查科学家使用的技术。这些艺术品将在几个知名的活动和场所展出，包括米尔斯天文台（邓迪2021-22），氖数字艺术节（2021年秋季）和苏格兰大学物理联盟（SUPA）科马克天文会议（爱丁堡，2021年秋季）。我们还将在爱丁堡和切尔滕纳姆科学节（2022年春季）等节日上展出。这种多样性的活动和场地将使该项目能够接触到比我们只参加科学活动更广泛的公众，从参加氖的16-19岁及以上的年轻人，米尔斯的学龄儿童家庭，以及通过SUPA/Cormack的科学界。通过这种场地和观众的混合，目的也是为了接触一些可能对纯粹的STEM公众参与不太感兴趣的公众，以及科学和艺术的专业人士和学生。更普遍的是，艺术已被证明能够成功地吸引那些可能不参加通常的科学展览的公众，例如年轻人（16-19岁），特别是女孩。我们还希望在未来的艺术与科学之间的合作，促进专业研究人员和艺术家，以及科学和艺术的大学生。与艺术作品相结合，我们将通过讲座和传单提供科学材料，并将利用网络和社交媒体加强我们的存在，帮助公众参与搜索和发现背后的科学成果。艺术家们还将展示他们作为各自领域的领先艺术家的作品，并拥有广泛的艺术与科学合作历史。一个版本的艺术品将在DJCAD存档。这将使该项目的影响持久，使艺术家，科学家和公众能够访问，并激励未来的新艺术家，科学家以及他们之间的合作。COVID-19注意：公共场所目前关闭，但我们项目的最初部分（通过会议和讨论--可以是在线的--在艺术家和科学家之间的合作基础上开发和建造艺术品）可以在封锁中开始。公共展览将于2021年中下旬开始。网站、社交媒体和新闻通讯将从项目一开始就进行。
