Art into Science - Science into Art

约克是英国游客最多的地方之一。约克拥有约克敏斯特、国家铁路博物馆和众多历史悠久的城市教堂等主要景点，每年吸引近400万游客，其中乘坐火车抵达的游客略多于100万。2005年，有338万游客参观了城市博物馆和教堂，其中很大一部分参观了约克敏斯特。在9月，该市的游客人数通常为351，360人，今年由于节日的原因，这一数字将增加。游客来自各大洲，具有地域和文化多样性，他们有着多种兴趣，例如神学，建筑，历史，工程，艺术和摄影。兴趣可以是基于专业的，也可以仅仅是社会性的，比如业余爱好。我们很高兴看到一些观众将是国际性的，可能是非英语国家的。语言不是障碍，因为参与的一部分是视觉。令人惊叹的液晶图像，5米宽，10米高，将被数字投影到约克敏斯特的东翼，以及城市各地的画廊，包括敏斯特和国家铁路博物馆。有了这样一个庞大的，多样化的和俘虏观众，我们的公众参与和参与的影响将非常高。作为科学咖啡馆活动的一部分，公众不仅可以在整个城市看到令人惊叹的科学图像，而且还有一个独特的机会与三位国际领先的液晶领域专家格雷教授、古德比教授和雷恩教授进行公开辩论。由于它是节日的一部分，宣传将达到最高水平。该节日拥有最高的新闻报道率，国家和国际，任何年度英国科学活动，确保全球媒体曝光。将利用约克市理事会和约克大学的媒体和公共关系专家网络进一步加强宣传和传播。我们计划制作传单、节目卡、电台广播和可能的电视采访，并通过视觉上令人惊叹的艺术品传播科学。艺术品本身的性质是移动的，可以很容易地运输。我们设想作为巡回展览的一部分进行传播，使其能够在全国各地展出，例如泰特现代美术馆。

York is one of the most visited places in England. With major attractions such as the York Minster, the National Railway Museum and a plethora of historical city churches, York attracts close to 4 million visitors per annum, with just over one million arriving by train. A staggering 3.38 million visitors attended city museums and churches in 2005, of which a very high proportion attended York Minster. In the month of September, the number of visitors in the city usually totals 351,360 and this number will swell this year because of the Festival. The visitors are regionally and culturally diverse arriving from all continents with a multitude of interests, for example, theology, architecture, history, engineering, art and photography. The interest may be either professional-based or merely social such as a hobby. We appreciate some of the audience will be international, and possibly non-English speaking. Language is not a barrier since one part of the engagement is visual. Stunning liquid crystal images, 5 m wide by 10 m high, will be digitally projected on to the east wing of York Minster together with picture galleries in venues across the city, including inside the Minster and at the National Railway Musuem.With such a large, diverse and captive audience the impact of our public engagement and participation will very high. Not only will members of the public have access to stunning scientific imagery across the city, but also a unique chance to engage in public debate with three internationally leading experts in the field of liquid crystals, Professors Gray, Goodby and Raynes, as part of a Caf Scientifique event.Publicity will be at the highest level possible since it forms part of the Festival. The Festival boasts the highest rates of press coverage, national and international, of any annual UK Science event ensuring worldwide media exposure. Publicity and dissemination will be further enhanced using the network of media and public relations experts at York City Council and the University of York. The production of leaflets, programme cards, radio and possible television interviews are envisaged.We are disseminating science through visually stunning artwork. The nature of the artwork as such is mobile and can be easily transported. We envisage dissemination as part of a travelling exhibition, making it accessible to various parts of the country, for example to Tate Modern.
