Events are organized by participants in the Nanoscale Informal Science Education Network (NISE Net) and will occur at science museums, research centers, and universities across the country.

Octopus Mandala Glow (OMG) was a public artwork and performance premiered on September 28th 2014 at Santa Monica’s Glow Festival on the famous Pacific Wheel. OMG was created by Art|Sci Director Victoria Vesna, who was invited to be the keynote artist of the festival, together with the Art|Sci Collective Team: Ray Zimmerman / Dawn Faelnar /Mike Datz / Peter Rand / Steven Amrhein / Lindy Ransom.
The vision was to spread the project beyond the Pacific Wheel and on to other ferris wheels with the slogan “Occupy Your Wheel,” in order to create a global chorus and spread the joy.
Victoria Vesna’s artistic work as well as her theoretical background were motivations to invite her to curate a project that will bring to CoCA Torun some of the most advanced and experimental artistic practices, but not only. The project curated by Victoria Vesna is conceived to be first and foremost an exciting collaborative experience, based on the exchange and dialogue through the creation of a social network and meta-interface that will involve artists, scientists, curators and theoreticians, journalists and other interested intellectuals. This project is developed around the theme of water, understood not only through the multiplicity of its symbolical and metaphorical meanings but also as one of the life and energy sources which today demands a serious political and social discussion.

Microwave International New Media Arts Festival 2009
Hong Kong
Four water bowls reflect different aspects of water related to the collective, global human condition. Some of the most common metaphorical associations of water -- such as the reflection of the moon, a drop of water, the sound of water, and oil and water -- are revisited through the use of some of the latest scientific observations. Moon and Sound are locally interactive and Drop and Oil are interactive both locally and remotely, emphasizing the global connectivity of water / human systems, beyond borders.
Conference: November 15th, 11:00-16:00 at the Hong Kong Heritage Discovery Center Lecture Hall

From medieval mythologies we are familiar with hybrid creatures like the Centaur and the Griffon. The creation of these fantasy beings denies in itself the very existence of species as we define the term today.
This year's conference looks closer on how knowledge from new research radically can happen to change human biology and self understanding, and how art practice both becomes influenced by this development, as well as being able to influence it.
The conference keynote speaker is researcher and artist Roy Ascott (UK), pioneer within interactive computer art in the 60's and later telematic art. Ascott is founder of the Planetary Collegium, he is a professor at Technoetic Arts at the University of Plymouth in addition to several other positions and appointments. Ascott is today one of our most innovative theorists regarding our virtual present and future.
Further at the festival you will among others be able to experience speakers and exhibitors as moderator Laura Beloff (FIN), Natasha Vita-More (US), Margarete Jahrmann (AUS), Eva Sutton (US), Victoria Vesna (US), Marta De Menezes (P), Eric Singer (US), Amy Youngs (US), Peter Flemming (CAN) and George Gessert (US).
This year's festival concerts includes names as ALEPH (N), BOL (N), LEMUR & ADAM MATTA (US), PIERRE BASTIEN (NL), INCITE/ (D) and XPLODING PLASTIX (N)!
The exhibition HYBRIDS opens Friday the 17th of Oct. at Trøndelag Centre for Contemporary Art.
