Cognitive Learning Through Knowledge Visualization, Art, and the Geometry of Nature
Abstract
Scientific modeling applied to the study of a mineral structure at the unit level provides a fertile ground from which to extract significant representations. 3D graphics visualization is equal part mathematics, geometry, and design. The geometric structure of 52 minerals was investigated in a specific modeling program to find if meaningful visualization pertaining to the field of art can be extracted from a mathematical and scientific resource. Working with the lines, spheres, and polygons that define crystal at the nanoscale provided the author with an exceptional environment from which to extract coherent visualizations sustainable in the art environment. The results were tested in various interactive platforms and opened a larger debate on cross-pollination between science, humanities, and the arts. Additionally, the experiment provided new ground of investigation for unexpected connections between mathematics, earth sciences, and local cultures.
