Section 18: Scientific Visualization. Publication of this NSF report prompted researchers to investigate new approaches to the visualization process and also spawned the development of integrated software environments for visualization.

Section 18: Scientific Visualization

Besides several systems that only addressed specific application needs, such as computational fluid dynamics or chemical engineering, a few more general systems evolved.

The Poetics of Metadata and the Potential of Paradata (Revised)

I originally planned on talking about the role of metadata in two digital media projects—a topic that would have fit nicely with STS's official mandate of investigating print and digital textual culture. Datavisualization. Larping Off the Grid. Courtesy of Isaac Eddy.

Object Breast Cancer. Shamanic Tumor Extraction Process - a shorter edited version of a piece made for the Out of Hand show at the Museum of Art and Design, NY.

Object Breast Cancer

Chanting by Guillermo Arevalo and Janice Weil. Carcinodaemon Serpentina These carcinodaemons fuse three different imaging techniques. A shaman manages to see figures that are said to inhabit you using a technique called ‘extraction’, in which the shaman identifies malignant figures and casts them out. An MRI images the breast cancer tumor, identifying its size and location, before the surgeon extracts it. Once again, the answer is confirmed, resoundingly: Yes, art can impact science.

User-driven visual mashups in interactive public spaces

One approach for alleviating these limitations is device symbiosis, whereby the interaction with one's personal mobile device is augmented by additionally engaging with more capable infrastructure devices, such as kiosks and displays. The Celadon framework, previously developed by our team, builds upon device symbiosis for delivering zone-based services through mobile and infrastructure devices in public spaces such as shopping malls, train stations and theme parks.

This week, United Nations Special Rapporteur Ben Emmerson gave a presentation to the organization's Human Rights Council on how drone strikes impact civilians. The report, which focuses mainly on U.S. drone strikes, calls for nations that use drones to conduct investigations and release public explanations in cases where unexpected civilian injuries and fatalities occur. Emmerson has been working with Forensic Architecture, a project at Goldsmiths University in London that images and maps sites of violence, and SITU Research, a New York–based interdisciplinary architecture and design firm, to visually reconstruct these covert operations. Together, they've pieced together disparate evidence, including digital models of buildings damaged in attacks, to create an interactive site that catalogs 30 drone strikes, which reportedly resulted in civilian injuries or deaths, in five different countries.

Visualizing the impact a simple cup can have on our environment According to sustainabilityissexy.com, over 6.5 million trees are consumed each year to produce the 16 billion disposable coffee cups that are being thrown away out into landfills. For about every 50,000 paper coffee cups produced, a tree is destroyed. DESCRIPTIONA Simple Cup visualizes the impact disposable coffee cups have on our environment by simulating a real-time growing forest on a web site every time a mug of coffee is placed onto a networked coffee cup coaster.

The interactive visualization encourages coffee drinkers to drink out of their coffee mugs by rewarding them with saved trees and energy onto a virtual ecosystem (that may be accessed globally online) every time they don’t drink out of disposable paper cups when they have a cup of coffee. The objective of A Simple Cup is to raise awareness over the impact disposable coffee cup production has on our environment’s natural resources.
