Documentation of "SEVEN ENIGMAS"
a provocative art/sci multi-media performance
from a University of Michigan collaboration
Seven Enigmas represents different ways of approaching the enigmatic,
or interacting with it, and being affected by it. Instead of answering
questions, these seven pieces describe some of the many possible
responses in the face of incomprehensible mysteries and unreachable
knowledge. Primary collaborators were: choreographer/director,
Peter Sparling and set design by painter Jim Cogswell with research scientists
Fred Bookstein (morphometrics) and John Clark (space physics).
Saturday & Sunday (10am-6pm)
I.C.E.@ArtSci98
I.C.E.@ArtSci98 is an exhibition by students grades 6-11 from The
Institute for Collaborative Education (I.C.E.). Students used their
skills to create interdisciplinary projects based on their studies in
science, studio art and interactive multimedia.
The studio art projects combine the study of color theory with
constructions of cells, electrons and planets. Other works include
drawings based on evolutionary and planetary change, scenery from a play
about scientific theory, photographs and drawings documenting patterns
found in nature. ãDiversity In Science,ä a multimedia stack, addresses a
variety of scientific topics of interest to students including: Global
Warming, The Eye, Dogs and Dolphins, TV, and Space. In the ãWhatâs (The)
Matter?ä interactive lab, the user learns about the states of matter
such as mixtures, elements, compounds, and the periodic table.
The teachers who planned this exhibition are Miriam Gottlieb- Studio
Art, Meryl Meisler- Multimedia, Matt Morey- Physics, Alex Shub- Intro.
to Science, Traci White- Chemistry. Support for this project was
provided by Dr. Ceccarelli, Arts Education Director/ Manhattan
Superintendency, Cynthia Pannucci - Founder/Director of ASCI, John
Pettinato- I.C.E. Principal, and Mr. Granger Ward- Superintendent of
