Artometry Exploring the Intersection of Art, Science & Technology

Institution

4D2U Project, National Astronomical Observatory of Japan

The site of the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan's project for turning astronomical research into images. It offers Mitaka, free software for travelling from Earth out to the large-scale structure of the universe, along with simulation-based films and VR works — reference material for visualising celestial motion and orbits.

Learning Resource

Paul Bourke

A personal site with a vast collection of notes and examples on geometry, fractals, curves and surfaces, visualisation and dome projection. Equations sit alongside code, making it a long-standing reference for makers.

Channel / Account

3Blue1Brown

A mathematics channel that explains linear algebra, calculus, number theory, neural networks and more through animation. Its way of building understanding through moving diagrams is a model for turning mathematics into film.

Learning Resource

earth :: global map of wind, weather and ocean conditions

A browser-based globe that renders global wind, temperature, ocean currents, waves and other weather data as flowing streaks, with switchable projections and layers. Its way of drawing a vector field as countless moving particles carries straight over to visualising mathematical vector fields.

Artist

Semiconductor (Ruth Jarman & Joe Gerhardt)

The website of a British artist duo. Working from scientific data gathered during stays at research facilities, and from astronomical tracking, they turn natural forces and scales of time into films and installations. Their choice to keep the noise and roughness of measured data is a useful reference for turning scientific data into moving images. The "Field research" section shows how the work grows out of time in labs.
