About this book

40 years of science visualization

The visualization of often-encrypted data reveals new, previously hidden, but quite real worlds to humankind. Art adopts these insights and uses them to create new dimensions.

This book brings together a wide range of contributions on visualization in science, media, and art. Renowned experts and associates of the Science Visualization Lab at the University of Applied Arts Vienna present examples of outstanding and innovative visualization projects and provide insight into their working methods. The book follows a variety of approaches to expanding perception and rendering the invisible visible.

“If the doors of perception were cleansed, every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite.” – William Blake

Insight into the thinking and working methods of renowned scientists, media experts, and artists
Lavish publication with numerous illustrations and AR features
With contributions by Ina Conradi / Mark Chavez, Christian Köberl, Walter Köhler, Thomas Matzek, Markus Müller, Ruth Schnell, Victoria Vesna / James K. Gimzewski, Manfred Wakolbinger, and others

Reviews

'La quantité d’images saisissantes produites dans le cadre de recherches scientifiques qui ne cessent de nourrir les créations artistiques et de multiplier les rapprochements entre arts et science est bien mise en valeur.' (Tania Vladova in: Revue Critique d'Art, 2024/62)
