Overview
For a second year, Barnard IMATS and the Vagelos Computational Science Center (CSC) are holding a competition for proposals that use the Cyber Visualization Wall in Milstein 516 - this year the theme is art + science! This competition is open to all undergraduate students in all disciplines at Barnard and Columbia – the top four winning submissions will receive a $500 grant to develop their proposals. Show us what you’ve got!
We want to see proposals that embrace the medium and capabilities of the Visualization Wall - remember it’s touch sensitive! Winning submissions should engage directly with the medium (the Visualization Wall) and theme (art + science). You can use design programs, filmmaking, coding, and more to make artistic interventions that explore the relationship between art and science, or explore a question of interest to you in a scientific way. You can submit digital art, maps, a game design, or utilize the interactive/touch aspects of the panels, or find clever ways to subvert our expectations.
Cyber Visualization Wall Details:
- 6 interconnected (3x2), touch enabled panels
- Panels can also be used individually, e.g. up to 6 discrete devices can be projected at a time
- Windows 10 operating system
- Speakers/sound enabled
