Studio - Gaps in Reality - Research - Ben Fry


fry, originally uploaded by James Wellock.

Ben Fry is a graduate of MIT and is interested in how scientific information is visualized artistically. Above is just one of his works "Genome Valence" it uses data used by scientists to visually represent the process in which they go through to understand using genomes, if a certain organism is biologially possible. I will obtain images and information on his work to try and come up with some ideas on how to visualize and group individual pieces of data, for example images. I am looking at Ben Fry to undertsand how programs can be used to collect data from other programs to then create visual but informative art. It will give me ideas on how to structure an effective and informative album section for my Pixisnap piece.
