We are delighted to invite you to attend the 21st biennial Australian Institute of Physics Congress “The Art of Physics” which will be held at the Australian National University in Canberra in the week December 7-11 in 2014. The Congress also incorporates the Annual meeting of the Australian Optical Society as well as meetings of the many technical groups and discipline areas associated with the AIP.
The conference theme The Art of Physics should be read in many ways. There is an art to doing physics, and our apparatus is often the work of artisans. Our scientific images are sometimes beautiful and intriguing. Some physicists are active in the art community, and some artists find inspiration in physics. We encourage conference presenters to highlight the art in their physics.
