Visualizations in Art and Science
is curated by Margaret Lazzari, Vice Dean of Art at USC's Roski School of Art and Design. In this show, Lazzari will use works by both artists and scientists to explore the overlap between the two fields. She borrowed the concept from Martin Kemp, who wrote numerous articles in the journal
Nature,
in which he showed that both artists and scientists use visualizations as a way to comprehend concepts beyond their knowledge.
Visualizations will have sculpture, painting, digital media and more.
The show will include artistic renderings of human organs, seismic readings, and other natural phenomena. The works clarify scientific understanding while imparting a sense of wonder to the viewer.
Art and science can be simply defined as human attempts to understand the visible and invisible aspects of their surroundings. Artists and scientists are on an ongoing quest for knowledge about the natural world.
While
Visualizations

.
Those students will have an exhibition at The Loft May 30 from 5:00 to 7:00 pm
.
