Location: Auditorium
Speaker: Andres Wanner (Emily Carr University of Art + Design)
Title: Imagine the Beam
Abstract: Andres Wanner is completing a two month artistic residency at TRIUMF. In this talk, he will present his process and artistic pieces. These pieces present a collection of digital data visualizations interpretations of the proton beam from the cyclotron.
This collection builds on earlier work, in which Wanner used the mechanics of everyday machines to draw intricate geometrical pictures. At TRIUMF, he harnessed beam operation-data, and used it to investigate aspects of precision, control and deviation. The beam is not visible to the human eye, so Wanner interpreted the data with visualization software to imagine a rarely seen organic view on this technology.
Intrigued by the contrast between highly sophisticated research and the down-to earth routine of its daily operation, with his pictures he gives form to what is usually abstract, hypothetical and invisible.
