75,000 links
75,000 plastic flanges attached to each other to illustrate the growth of lung cells. 2009 Science/NSF International Science & Engineering Visualization Challenge wins first prize in the illustration section with this work by University of Pennsylvania biologist Peter Lloyd Jones and Jenny E. Teams of architect Sabin.
Jones and Sabin’s team are looking for new ways to represent large data sets, an example of which is this 3.5 m tall sculpture. In this case, the starting point was a computer simulation, a calculation of the forces exerted by the lung cells during their growth in a protein matrix. And they tied the plastic flanges with this simulation as a model. In this way, this work allows you to do more than just see the simulation data on a screen; the observer can walk among all this data and touch them with his hands.
