Opposites attract: computational and quantitative outreach through artistic expressions

Abstract

Staff from the University of Tennessee's Joint institute for Computational Sciences, National Institute for Computational Sciences, and Remote Data Analysis and Visualization Center have teamed up with faculty from UT's School of Art to engage with students, the public, and the research community on a number of projects that connect the arts with the science and computing disciplines. These collaborations have led to coursework for students, videos about scientific discovery, and the production of novel, computer-mediated artwork. Both the arts and the sciences have gained from these collaborations.
