Art into Science - Science into Art

约克是英国游客最多的地方之一。约克市拥有主要景点，如约克市议员、国家铁路博物馆和众多历史悠久的城市教堂，每年吸引近400万游客，其中略高于100万的游客乘坐火车抵达。2005年，参观城市博物馆和教堂的游客达到惊人的338万人，其中参观约克明斯特的比例非常高。在9月份，该市的游客总数通常为351,360人，今年由于节日的原因，这个数字还会增加。参观者来自各大洲，来自不同地区和文化，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职业的，也可能仅仅是社交的，比如一种爱好。我们很高兴一些观众将是国际观众，可能不会说英语。语言不是障碍，因为参与的一部分是视觉上的。令人惊叹的液晶图像，宽5米，高10米，将与全市各场馆的图片库一起，以数字方式投射到约克市议会大厦的东翼，包括国会大厦内部和国家铁路博物馆。有如此庞大、多样化和被俘虏的观众，我们的公众参与和参与的影响将非常大。公众不仅有机会看到全市令人惊叹的科学图像，还将有独特的机会与三位在液晶领域的国际领先专家Gray、Goodby和Raynes教授进行公开辩论，这是Caf Science活动的一部分。由于它是艺术节的一部分，公众活动将是尽可能高水平的。在确保全球媒体曝光率的任何一年一度的英国科学活动中，该艺术节拥有最高的全国和国际媒体覆盖率。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。我们还计划制作传单、节目卡、电台和可能的电视采访。我们正在通过视觉上令人惊叹的艺术作品来传播科学。艺术品本身的性质是可移动的，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.
