Even though it is my research, the scope of my project and its ambition would have not been able to be developed without collaborating with other artists, academics and technicians. I would firstly like to thank my supervisor Ross Gibson, who kept me on track for four long years, always keeping the big picture in mind. He guided me in a field unknown to me: academic writing. Thanks to his insights I was able to tame my enthusiasm and deliver a proper thesis. I want to thank my editor Ross Harley, who helped me on the last stretch to get it into a tight form. Thanks to Sue Linsday, microscopist at the Australian Museum, who encouraged me to pursue my dream to make 3-D models out of electro- microscopic scans, and had the patience to sit with me and scan miniscule specimens multiple times until we achieved the results we wanted. Thanks to Andrew Simpson from Vert Design, who was not afraid to experiment with me to achieve what no one had achieved before in 3-D modeling, and who found the talent and technologies to do it. Thanks to Matt Booth, for his great eye and technical skill in computer modeling, and for taking the risk of tackling this subject matter. Thanks to Valerie Odewahn, Tony and Johnathan at Sydney College of the Arts, who helped me ‘make things’, and answered technical questions absolutely every day I was on campus. There was so much to learn from them. Thanks to Nick Greenwich, from the 2-D Digital Lab at Sydney College of the Arts, with whom I learnt to work in 2-D digital image printing. Thanks to Allan Jones at the Centre for Microscopy at Sydney University. Thanks to Mark Elliot for lending me his flame glass skills to make some beautiful objects. Thanks to Gary Warner for the thoughtful and effective museological design, display case design and object support, and especially for the beautiful miniature lighting he did for the show at Cockatoo Island. I enjoyed working with him making every decision a thoughtful one. Thanks to Philip Sticklen for his beautiful craftsmanship of the display cases. Thanks to Bill Eberhard for his generous comments, and for letting me use his drawings as inspiration for many of my artworks. Thanks to the Australian Museum for giving me access to its microscopic collection of animal genitalia, and for lending me some Harvestman specimens for the exhibition at Cockatoo Island. Thanks to Sydney College of the Arts, who gave me access to fabulous facilities and a beautiful environment in which to study and make art. Thanks to Sydney University for the UPA Scholarship, and thanks to Arts NSW for their generous support for the exhibition of my project at the 18th Biennale of Sydney. Thanks to the Biennale of Sydney for lending me Building 123 at Cockatoo Island and for an audience of over 600,000 people. Thanks to Catherine de Ziegler and to Gerald McMaster, curators of the Biennale, for inviting me to participate. Thanks to Emma Watts for her thoughtful documentary The Wonderful World of Professor Cardoso produced by ABC TV Artscape, which followed the project prior to the exhibition at the Biennale, warming the audience to the show at Cockatoo Island, and presenting my 4 perspective as a woman artist to the public. And lastly, I would like to acknowledge and thank all the many volunteers who gave me at hand with the installation and de-installation of the project on the island. 5 List of Illustrations Figure 1 William Eberhard, Mammalian penes, Hemipenes of Snakes, and Damselfly Penises, illustrations from Sexual Selection and Animal Genitalia, (1985).

  • Wax, Wings, and Swarms: Insects and Their Products As Art Media
    Wax, Wings, and Swarms: Insects and their Products as Art Media Barrett Anthony Klein Pupating Lab Biology Department, University of Wisconsin—La Crosse, La Crosse, WI 54601 email: [email protected] When citing this paper, please use the following: Klein BA. Submitted. Wax, Wings, and Swarms: Insects and their Products as Art Media. Annu. Rev. Entom. DOI: 10.1146/annurev-ento-020821-060803 Keywords art, cochineal, cultural entomology, ethnoentomology, insect media art, silk 1 Abstract Every facet of human culture is in some way affected by our abundant, diverse insect neighbors. Our relationship with insects has been on display throughout the history of art, sometimes explicitly, but frequently in inconspicuous ways. This is because artists can depict insects overtly, but they can also allude to insects conceptually, or use insect products in a purely utilitarian manner. Insects themselves can serve as art media, and artists have explored or exploited insects for their products (silk, wax, honey, propolis, carmine, shellac, nest paper), body parts (e.g., wings), and whole bodies (dead, alive, individually, or as collectives). This review surveys insects and their products used as media in the visual arts, and considers the untapped potential for artistic exploration of media derived from insects. The history, value, and ethics of “insect media art” are topics relevant at a time when the natural world is at unprecedented risk. INTRODUCTION The value of studying cultural entomology and insect art No review of human culture would be complete without art, and no review of art would be complete without the inclusion of insects. Cultural entomology, a field of study formalized in 1980 (43), and ambitiously reviewed 35 years ago by Charles Hogue (44), clearly illustrates that artists have an inordinate fondness for insects.

  • Making Art / Discovering Science Steven Shapin, Harvard University
    Making Art / Discovering Science steven shapin, harvard university ere is one way that, in ordinary speech, we mark the dis- tinction between science and art. We say that scientists dis- H cover things—the relationship between the volume and pres- sure of air was discovered by Boyle; nuclear fission was discovered by Hahn, Strassmann, and Meitner; the structure of DNA was discovered by Watson and Crick. We say, however, that artists invent, compose, construct,ormake things—Mozart composed Così fan tutte; Botticelli made La Primavera; Philip Roth invented Nathan Zuckerman. In ordi- nary speech, all genuine art is made up and no genuine science is made up. Again, in ordinary speech, the difference between these catego- ries is fundamental: it’s an important way we have to distinguish science and art in the stream of culture, to assign them to different institutions, to give us confidence in our distinctions, to hold them to different standards, and to assign them to different schemes of value. The categories also mark out different kinds of relationship between the named responsible people, and what it is they are said to be re- sponsible for.

    Frontispiece. René Binet, Porte Monumentale for Exposition Universelle, Paris, 1900. Phototype, from Exposition Universelle, Paris 1900. Héliotypes de E. Le Deley (Paris, n.d.). (V&A Images, National Art Library, Victoria and Albert Museum). 224 A World of Things in Emergence and Growth: René Binet’s Porte Monumentale at the 1900 Paris Exposition robert proctor by 1898, René Binet had produced his final design for the Porte Monumentale of the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris, a building which came to symbolise the Exposition in the media, in the profusion of ephemeral literature which surrounded it, and in the public consciousness [Frontispiece; Figure 1].1 The arch was meant to be ‘a type and epitome of the Exposition itself ’, as an American commentator put it.2 The Exposition aimed to celebrate the achievements of the nineteenth century and the arrival of a new age of peace in the twentieth, under the steerage of the Third Republic. The Porte Monumentale compressed this ideological scheme into a single complex and ambivalent object. The contemporary discourse on nature provided Binet with an expressive range of symbolic forms with which to articulate such political concerns. Re-reading the Porte Monumentale through such discourse, however, produces more contradictions than certainties. While one strand of scientific enquiry maintained a rational view of life, and consequently of human society, as internally structured and constantly evolving according to understandable principles, another related strand proposed a more mystical, romantic and pseudo-religious view of nature. In Binet’s architectural adoption of natural forms, each of these views seems to have a role.
