Abstract: Weaving the Universe
Art: Fiorella Lavado
Science: Arthur I. Miller, University College London
Artists use mathematical models of black holes developed from data taken by space telescopes to give us some idea of what these mysterious objects actually look like. They have produced amazing images of objects which are impossible to perceive and enormously far away from us. But what has been missing are visual representations that evoke their frightening grandeur and the poetry behind them. Towards that goal artist Fiorella Lavado and scientist Arthur I. Miller have been working together, in an artist-scientist collaboration. Together we explore representations of nature that go beyond scientific visualisations.
