Residency at the University of Salzburg to develop "Fly... Butterfly".
The basic principle of tomography is largely known because of MRI scans. Nevertheless, it never ceases to amaze recipients that this technique is used in so many scientific investigations in the micro and nano range with similar technical principles.
Such scanned organic entities are not only sampled on the surface, as is done in photogrammetry, but volumetric data are created and these cross-section stacks also provide detailed information from the inside of the specimen. Existing imaging data of hoverflies and butterfly eggs can be worked out by developing the data into larger-than-life representations. The project aims to bring the wonder that our ecosystem and the diverse life on our earth represents to all visitors. Insects make up an important part of our ecosystem, and their population and diversity has declined sharply in recent years. Often only small steps, such as no poison and no or less mowing the lawn, have to be implemented to do something to protect insects. The project aims to create new formats that can expand their impact on society as a whole through an interaction between digital, biological, spiritual and cultural spaces.
