DESCRIPTION:Brian Boyd (Auckland University)\, “On The Origin of Art”\, IAS
 T General Seminar\, Toulouse: IAST\, December 2\, 2016\, 11:30–12:30\, roo
 m MS 001.\n\nThe Museum of Old and New Art in Hobart\, Tasmania (often cal
 led\, ever since its opening five years ago\, the most interesting new art
  museum for decades\, or simply the most interesting art museum in the wor
 ld\; its average visitor time is longer than for any other art museum\, in
 cluding the Louvre) has just opened an unusual new exhibition\, On the Ori
 gin of Art. Four “scientists” (I was given that honorific label)\, psychol
 ogists Steven Pinker and Geoffrey Miller\, neuroscientist Mark Changizi an
 d I\, were invited to co-curate: to offer our own evolutionary hypotheses 
 for the origin of art and to select works that illustrated our hypotheses 
 and challenged those of our co-curators. I will give an introduction and o
 verview of the exhibition and the hypotheses\, and an explanation for some
  of my choices. If there is time\, I may also say a little about the way a
 rt and science can work together. I selected for my show with one artist w
 ho frequently works with (real) scientists\, inviting him to contribute ph
 otographs of pollen\, photographed through electron microscopes\, gathered
  for him around Mona\; I am collaborating with another artist-photographer
 \, two of whose work I slected for the exhibition\, on a future series of 
 shows involving photographs of Vladimir Nabokov’s butterfly catches\, also
  at microscopic scale\; and I contributed a kind of art-work myself\, an i
 nteractive iPad “verbeogame” that invites visitors to detect the kinds of 
 patterns Shakespeare has hidden in his sonnets
