Science of Future

Science of Now

Future at Now!

Doing Science

Researching

Applying

Communicating

Adopting

All are turning into a continuum of meeting the future at now!

Boundary conditions in research no longer the facilitative conditions, at least lesser than ever

- Transdisciplinarity emerging as the new boundary path

- so is the imaging for transdisciplinarity

- Imaging for science-technology-arts are at greater than ever convergence

Data for science needs conversion for these new frontiers & boundaries in imagery

Computational Media & Prototyping the Futurefrom Dream Machines

Capturing the essence of science now calls for new modes of imaging science and science communication itself

- computational science media

- cloud media

- gamification of understanding science

- design as media

biodesign, biomimicry, biophilic and biophobic structures, eco-design, industrial eco-design,, nano-pico-femto scales of design, geo-media, eco-media, sky

media

Limiting oneself to conventional ways of communicating for “Hammer & Tong Era” of science would mean:

we shall be missing more on seeds of the transdisciplinary sciences

Researching in science & researching its real time, real scale communication,

both need a new paradigm for

“seeing for science for people meeting future”

New Paradigms …..

Imaging is to serve as the focal vocabulary for scientists and communicators alike.

It is now inventing both the medium and content at the same time

Marriage of text and moving images  can mean video reading and book watching

New Paradigms ….

dialogues-languages-dialects-shared meanings for multi-cultural environment

+ a kind of imaging aimed at communicative

transcendence!

Let us have : Concept notes/Pre-proposals on thrust areas

- Sci-Media research, including future of science literature, media & magazines

- Research Modules for popular science magazines & publications and pilot runs

of the research enriched versions of publications to assess the impact and defining the innovative models for replication &/or scale up

- Research in translations of popular science media and pilot runs of publication

- Lead Institutions for establishing ‘ Incubation & Learning Exchanges’ (ILE)
