Casting Data in Glass: Data Visualization as Art with Norwood Viviano

A partnership with University Museums, University Library and GIS Facility
What if you could turn your research data into a work of art? Learn how artist Norwood Viviano uses Geographic Information Systems (GIS) throughout his artistic practice to create sculptural and visual representations of data, making abstract information tangible. Viviano will examine his unique processes and ask attendees to consider how they can create visually impactful objects or even art with their own collected data. This presentation is especially great for students, researchers and anyone interested in GIS, data visualization, science communication, or the intersection of science and art.
Held at The Catalyst, University Library
