Conversation: [Yasmin_discussions] ARTISTS AS INVENTORS ON YASMIN
Subject: Re: [Yasmin_discussions] ARTISTS AS INVENTORS ON YASMIN

Artist as Inventor
Joseph Ingoldsby

There is a fine line between art and science. The creative process is often
based on direct observation and the synthesis and transformation of that
study into an invention. Leonardo bridged art and science through analytical
methods that allowed for the accurate modeling of zoology, physiology,
anatomy, medicine, astronomy and flow for example which Leonardo documented
within The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci. These studies translated into the
development of theories of color, light, nature, art and invention.

Goethe, although best known for the writing of poetry and plays followed in
the traditions of Leonardo as an artist /scientist through rigorous
observation and critical thinking on the qualities of nature. His studies
have been continued by Theodor Schwenk, John Wilkes and, arguably John Todd.
Each has developed a greater understanding of water flow and natural
processes and has been able to translate this knowledge into invention using
art in the service of nature.

Theodor Schwenk¹s observation of flow gave new meaning to the life and
action of water and air. His studies were published as Sensitive Chaos-The
Creation of Flowing Forms in Water and Air through the Rudolf Steiner Press,
London in 1965. These studies were put to functional use by the English
sculptor, John Wilkes within his patented works called Flowforms. These
sculptural works although beautiful objects have a function- that of
purifying water through the natural regenerative process of waters movement,
including the meander, vortices, and pulsing rhythms of flow. These
sculptural works have been used in the tertiary treatment of wastewater in
combination with constructed vegetated wetlands to clean wastewater to
irrigation standards in projects in across the globe.

The tradition of invention through observation has been continued by the
visionary John Todd, a biologist by training with his wife Nancy Jack Todd,
a writer are pioneers in the development of solar aquatics and a family of
technologies for wastewater purification and reclamation. Their work can be
studied within their publication, From Eco-Cities to Living Machines.


As an introduction, Joseph Ingoldsby of Landscape Mosaics has studied art,
landscape architecture and ecological design and planning. I use art,
science and technology collaboratively to advocate for vanishing landscapes
and endangered species. Recent exhibitions include- Requiem for a Drowning
Landscape at the NY Hall of Science and Vanishing Landscapes and Endangered
Species at the UWI-Madison Arboretum in 2009. Recent publications include-
Vanishing Landscapes: The Atlantic Salt Marsh in Leonardo Journal, Volume
42-2-2009 and Requiem in ORION Magazine for Nature, Culture and Place,
March/April 2009.
