You
Need To See This -- Pushing the boundaries of scientific visualization
Tuesday
25 September - Wednesday 26 September 2012
The
Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters, H.C. Andersens
Boulevard 35, DK-1553 Copenhagen V, Denmark.
Scientific
visualizations are essential for the processes involved in generating and
presenting scientific data. This symposium explores how connections
between art, design and science inspire and advance research, innovation and
working processes in scientific data visualization. Speakers will share ideas
for and processes of their work in visualization across disciplines. Talks and
discussions will address how visual ideas and intentions are transformed by the
use of different tools and technologies, how to meet the challenges of
cross-discipline collaborations, how to gain and apply inspiration through
multidisciplinary processes, and how these processes can enrich both the
practice of science and art.
Speakers: David Goodsell (The Scripps
Research Institute), Colin Ware (University of New Hampshire), Bang Wong (The
Broad Institute of MIT & Harvard), Alessia Giardino (Thread Count Lab
London), Nik Spencer (Nature), Amanda Cox (The New York Times), Gaël McGill
(Harvard Medical School), Poul Nissen (Aarhus University), Søren Brunak
(Technical University of Denmark), Niels Christian Nielsen (Aarhus
University), and Mette Høst (Niels Bohr Institute).
