About Images from Science:
“From picturing the invisible realm of human DNA to exploring the rings of Saturn or viewing Earth’s global warming, photography and science are indispensable partners whose evolving story continues to shape the ways we know ourselves and our seen and unseen world.” – Therese Mulligan, Director, School of Photographic Arts and Sciences, Rochester Institute of Technology
Images from Science 3 is a collaborative experiment that initially began in 2002 at Rochester Institute of Technology, and was organized to celebrate the production of extraordinary images featuring science. At its core mission, the project seeks to explore the interface of science, technology, art, design, and communication. Since the first two iterations of Images from Science in 2002 and 2008, much has changed. Coupled with new optical and other imaging software, nothing seems out of the realm of what is possible in the creation of images for science. The dynamic release of new imaging equipment, including the smartphone, coupled with the explosive use of social media has allowed for images to be shared worldwide synchronously.
Images from Science 3 will showcase 82 extraordinary images from 71 image makers from 15 countries around the world . This year, in addition to still images, the exhibition will incorporate moving images using video, computer generated images (CGI), animations and illustrations. The images were selected by an international panel of experts from around the world. The show will be on view at RIT City Art Space November 1-24, 2019, then travel to Johns Hopkins University. The exhibition is available for travel to other venues, and is accompanied by a catalogue published by RIT Press.
