Amplifying Data Through Art
With challenges such as overfishing, ocean acidification, and sea level
rise rapidly changing our marine environments, it's more important than
ever to help people understand and care about what's going on. To this
end, artists are working with scientific data and translating complex
concepts and new findings into visually stimulating, thought-provoking
works. When Philadelphia-based artist Rebecca Rutstein was aboard the
exploration vessel Nautilus last year, expedition leader Robert Ballard
made an apt analogy she won't soon forget: "Exploring the deep ocean is
like standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon in the dark. The artist
can turn the light on." Here are five artists who are turning on lights,
helping us look at scientific data differently.
