Minisymposium Presentation

The visualization of 3D phenomena, such as volumes, surfaces, or particles, offers a unique opportunity to transform scientific data into engaging artworks. Photo-realistic renderings of scientific results not only captivate but also help communicate complex ideas in a visually compelling way. However, artists and scientists often face challenges: scientists may lack the skills to create appealing imagery, while artists may not fully understand the data or the necessary tools. This disconnect can result in overly technical, uninviting imagery or abstract visuals that lack rigor. When scientists and artists collaborate, they can produce work that is both accurate and visually striking. This presentation explores how blending artistic techniques with scientific data has led to innovative approaches in data-driven art. We will share our experience using cinematic tools to transform large-scale scientific datasets from computer simulations into high-quality, stylized visualizations. By integrating artistic control with scientific accuracy, we aim to explore the possibilities that emerge from the interaction between both domains.
