Science Visualization Lab

New form of teaching course with lectures and practical exercises. Won the JKU/LIT New Courses in Teaching Call. 

Processes to create high-detailed models of insects. A 3D scanner and the outcomes as art and science.

See through the eyes of butterflies and fall in love with biodiversity. VR installation with high-res print, soundscape and huge butterfly egg.

Learn about the "Action in the Nucleus" which is one possible process to edit genes.

Life and death. SARS-CoV-2 and the chance of staying healthy. Performative dice game and projection mapping of computer animation.

Is collaboration everything? How to we go beyond the limits of contemporary scientific imaging? Installative sound-driven data visualization.

Dive into the world of plankton. Watch the stereoscopic documentary to see what is threatening to plankton and therefore humans.

Science Visualization

The common understanding of modern scientific research becomes more and more difficult as activities are carried out in size and time ranges we cannot perceive with the unaided eye. The key to understanding is often a visualization of these hidden processes. The Science Visualization Lab at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna, Austria, specializes in making invisible scientific phenomena visible and disseminating this visual information in research and artistic exhibitions. The primary objectives of the lab are keeping the authenticity of the scientific data used, while also crafting captivating and imaginative artistic expressions.
