New Art/Science Affinities (NA/SA) is a 190 page, densely illustrated, book focusing on contemporary artists working at the intersection of art, science, and technology co-published by Miller Gallery at Carnegie Mellon University and STUDIO for Creative Inquiry. The book accompanies an exhibition titled Intimate Science, first shown at Miller Gallery at Carnegie Mellon University in January 2012. The exhibition has toured to both Southern Exposure in San Fransico, CA and Real Art Ways, Hartford, CT.

Creation
New Science/Art Affinities was designed and written at the STUDIO for Creative Inquiry on Carnegie Mellon University's campus in February of 2011 over the course of 7 days. The book was created through a working model for collaborative book authorship known as a book sprint, derived from code sprinting. The project was lead by Andrea Grover, recipient of a 2010 Warhol Foundation Curatorial Fellowship, along with three other authors (Régine Debatty, Claire Evans and Pablo Garcia) and two designers (Luke Bulman and Jessica Young of Thumb).
