Visualizations in the Sciences

Humans have always used images as a vehicle for understanding the world around them. Although visual representation is often associated with artistic endeavors, images have proven to be one of the most powerful mediums through which to express new, scientific ideas. This power lies in an image's unique ability to convey information universally by relying on a sensory experience that is a central part of our everyday lives. Not only do these visuals challenge how we view our world, they also challenge the strict boundaries that we have created between the disciplines of art and science.

This exhibit aims to dissolve these boundaries by allowing the viewer to see the creativity necessary for the production of such visual imagery, and the simplicity and beauty that is often achieved as a result, with striking examples of visualizations of scientific information in a variety of formats created by both faculty and students at the University of Vermont.
