How HPC and Art Create the Future of Scientific Visualization
Thursday, December 5, 2024
12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
PC simulation enables us to study physical systems that cannot be directly examined by converting internal digital representations of those physical systems to visual imagery. Over the past few decades, algorithms and systems for converting abstract data to forms amenable for rendering have been developed. This talk will discuss how the Sculpting Vis project, a collective of computer scientists and artists at the University of Minnesota and the University of Texas, are utilizing artistic principles to make visualizations more effective in conveying information to the scientists and the broader public.
