Imagine The Beam

Artist Residency at TRIUMF labs, data visualization prints, 2012

A two month artistic residency at TRIUMF accelerator labs Vancouver results in a collection of digital data visualizations – interpretations of the proton beam from the cyclotron.

I harness data from TRIUMF's daily operation, and investigate aspects of precision, control and deviation. The beam is not visible to the human eye, its data is interpreted through visualization software to imagine a rarely seen organic view on this technology.

Intrigued by the contrast between the highly specialized facility and the down-to-earth routine of its daily operation, I aim to give form to an entity that is abstract, hypothetical and invisible.
