Only in Concert with Art Does Science Become so Precise
Scientific conventions are founded on the belief that we must systematically eliminate emotional involvement in order to uncover truths about the natural world. Adrien’s work seeks to reframe the scientific lens through sculpture to make information accessible as a sensory, physical, and personal experience. Taking an interdisciplinary approach that integrates scientific research, data visualization, history, landscape, and materiality, Adrien’s work uses scientific data as a conceptual resource to reveal trends, patterns, and changes in the landscape that happen over time. In this presentation, Adrien will share her work and creative process, and will discuss ideas about objectivity, quantification, big data, intuitive knowledge, and what lies beyond reason.
