Art Pieces and Science Abstract
Artist's Research Questions
Are there clues hidden in the arts and humanities that can advances in science? Research to date suggests yes. Therefore, an organizing premise of this research is that the history of the arts and humanities contain qualitative expression of principles that are presently poorly defined within scientific concepts.
At the foundation of all arts, humanities, and the sciences, rest core principles of human anatomy and physiology. How well is this fact articulated within the arts and humanities, and within the sciences?
Do the arts and humanities express a category of inherent biological, human force that is poorly identified in scientific and medical disciplines? Based upon this researcher's assessment of the proposed structures and mechanisms of the protocell, the answer is yes. How can the arts and humanities convey the philosophical, ontological, and epistemological implications? And then, what forms of arts and humanities can activate societal benefits and economic impact of these insights?
How can art and humanities principles be integrated into training curriculum for researchers, Such as, for exploring origin of life astromaterial sample analysis?
Can engaging, participatory, multisensory, multicultural, folkloric arts and humanities activate, expand or refine a somatic, visceral capacity in a person’s/researcher? Can this increase their potential for creativity, innovation, exploration and discovery, in general, and specifically for origin of life projects?
How can the arts and humanities create experiences which clarify the dynamics between precision measurement versus whole systems biology perception and measurement?
How can expression of art and humanities convey complex anatomy and physiology/psychophysiology principles? How can the arts and humanities engage, encourage and teach skills to people to support wellness and thriving?
My Art Style: Translating My Origin of Life Journey
My art is mission, passion and purpose driven. It is an invitation to descend into primordial energies, forces, relationships, and experiences. My art style infuses astrobiology, origin of life, and the protocell into a whole body, anatomy and physiology, expression, and relationship Multiple elements of medical science, integrated health, fitness and wellness practices are integrated. Expressive arts, dance, drama, voice, and somatic experiences are additional colors on the palate.
My intent is to awaken primordial biological universal principles within each of us.
See: The Innovation Wave
These principles and skills arising from the biological universal can be woven into the fabric of society:
Arts, humanities and sciences are the vehicles.
My art is an expression of my life journey.
I was born with a cluster of genetic polymorphisms that contributed to a complex medical condition in my youth. My health gradually deteriorated, with episodes of life changing medical events. I have spent decades struggling with a mysterious disease and difficult life altering symptoms.
This illness became my teacher. Since I was young I have explored the mystery of the human body, and the dance of thriving and mortality.
My art and training programs are an expression of my journey and the wisdom which I have gathered. My aspiration is that this art helps others to thrive in the world in the face of challenges.
Historical References
My research has identified an integration opportunity between the domains of science, medical, and entertainment illustration and animation.
This research identified that art history since the beginning of the euro-american scientific revolution show clues to the progression of human physiology that are fragmented between the arts and the sciences.
As well, the progression of medical concepts since The Flexner Report on Medical Education in the United States and Canada (1910) further shows fragmented concepts of human anatomy and physiology between the arts and the sciences. This influenced the curriculum of medical schools, and the implications to public health.
This research proposes that principles from astrobiology, origin log life and the protocell support integration and coherence to help repair past fragmentation, and progress to more effective principles of anatomy and physiology for societal benefits.
Professional Integration of Arts, Humanities & Sciences
By profession, Daniel is a Certified California healthcare provider working with Integrated Health modalities. He actively incorporates arts, humanities, and science principles into his professional consultations supporting clients.
Personal Arts and Humanities Background
Daniel is grateful to have been raised in a family and community that blended the arts and humanities with the sciences. He was raised with deep roots in folk music and dance, international folk dance, choral music performance in multiple languages, hand craft, classical trumpet, and theater. He both studied and performed in these art forms.
Daniel was active in a variety of sports activities, notably swimming, spring board diving, gymnastics and martial arts.
He is inspired by Improv Comedy and incorporates it in his life whenever and where ever possible.
With his study at the College of the University of Chicago, his background in the arts and humanities contributed to his current project proposing an inquiry and exploration methodology for astrobiology and origin of life research.
