Conférence: "La révolution des quasicristaux", October 22, 2012
par Dan Shechtman, prix Nobel de chimie / CRDP
Address:
CRDP, 11 avenue Général Champon, Grenoble, France
Dans le cadre du Centenaire de la cristallographie, 2 conférences exceptionnelles sont proposées à Grenoble par le Prix Nobel de Chimie, Dan Shechtman, le "découvreur" des quasicristaux. Le physicien présentera l'histoire de cette découverte fascinante et la bataille qu'il lui a fallu mener pour faire accepter ce résultat dans la communauté scientifique.
La conférence de Dan Shechtman sera introduite par un court exposé de Anke Zürn (Artiste visuel et docteur en chimie) sur le thème Art et Symétrie.

Crystallography Between Art and Science
22nd IUCr Congress, Madrid, Spain, 22-30 August 2011
Organization: Anke Zürn
An increasing number of researchers – artists and scientists equally – are exploring the intriguing space between science and art. On the one hand, natural science researchers are commonly confronted with visual research methods and results that involve design, visual perception, and aesthetics. On the other hand, artists often use scientific methods and instruments, and engage themselves in methodological questions and science-related topics.
At the XXII Congress of the International Union of Crystallography in Madrid, Spain, 22-30 August 2011, the IUCr together with the Commission on Crystallography in Art and Cultural Heritage (CrysAC) provided a platform to illustrate the important place of crystallography and the multiple aspects of its research at the interface between the arts and the sciences.
This call addressed all artists and crystallographers whose work and interest pertain to both the arts and the sciences. Each contributor was invited to submit up to 10 visuals (images as well as short animations and movies). A selection of these visuals related to crystallography was presented as a continuous looping slide show during the IUCr Congress 2011 in Madrid.
I wish to thank following artists and scientists for their contributions, respectively for allowing me to show photographs of their work during the IUCr-Congress:
Jean-Marc Castera, Bernardo Cesare, Anna Ferrari, Chaim Goodman-Strauss, Ulrich Griesser & Winfried Platzgummer, Annegret Haake & H. Winotosastro, Jessica Hymas, Edgar Meyer, Group XX-TEX, Susanne Happle & Frederik Molenschot, Hervé Graumann, Roger Hiorns, Gerda Steiner & Jörg Lenzlinger

I had a double talk together with Alicja Rafalska to present CrysAC. Alicja focused on X-RAY powder diffraction methods in cultural heritage, my focus was on symmetry.
