Art into Science - Science into Art

约克是英国游客最多的地方之一。约克拥有约克大教堂、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，其中只有100多万游客乘火车抵达。2005年，参观城市博物馆和教堂的游客达到了惊人的338万，其中参观约克大教堂的游客比例非常高。在9月份，这个城市的游客数量通常达到351,360人，今年这个数字会因为节日而增加。游客来自各大洲，地域和文化各不相同，他们兴趣广泛，例如神学、建筑、历史、工程、艺术和摄影。这种兴趣可能是基于专业的，也可能仅仅是一种社交爱好。我们感谢一些观众来自世界各地，可能不会说英语。语言不是障碍，因为互动的一部分是视觉的。惊人的液晶图像，宽5米，高10米，将被数字投影到约克大教堂的东翼，以及整个城市的画廊，包括大教堂内部和国家铁路博物馆。面对如此庞大、多样化和忠实的受众，我们的公众参与和参与将产生非常大的影响。公众不仅可以在城市中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液晶领域的国际领先专家Gray教授，Goodby教授和Raynes教授进行公开辩论，作为cafe Scientifique活动的一部分。宣传将尽可能达到最高水平，因为这是节日的一部分。在任何年度英国科学活动中，该节日的国内和国际新闻报道率最高，确保了全球媒体的曝光。将利用约克市议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。计划制作传单、节目卡、无线电广播和可能的电视采访。我们通过视觉震撼的艺术作品传播科学。艺术品的本质是可移动的，可以很容易地运输。我们设想将传播作为巡回展览的一部分，使其能够进入全国各地，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.
