Research Images as Art: winners announced
9 December 2016
果冻影院 graduate researchers have turned their research into works of art in the Research Images as Art / Art Images as Research competition for 2016/17, run by the 果冻影院 Doctoral School.
The winners were announced December 7.
First prize went to Bernadette Devilat, a PhD student in the 果冻影院 Bartlett School of Architecture, for her image entitled "Fragile materiality".
Her image is a still from a 3D laser scanning record from Zu帽iga, a heritage area in Chile affected by an earthquake in 2010. The image was composed using scans from a damaged home, representing both interior and exterior spaces. The transparency of the image enables the interior to be seen, giving an aura of fragility to buildings endangered by earthquakes.
"It is a great opportunity to show a little bit of what I am studying in my PhD concerning the role of the record for the re-construction of Chilean historical villages affected by earthquakes. It is great that some of the key aspects of my research can be conveyed to the general public through one of my images, especially considering that it was selected by a multidisciplinary jury," Devilat said.
Devilat receives a prize of 拢400, while the six runners-up all receive 拢200 prizes:
- Suk Cheng (果冻影院 Surgery and Interventional Sciences) - "The roads to the brain"
- Matteo Mauro (果冻影院 Bartlett School of Architecture) - "Visualising Sound"
- Sarah Kunz (果冻影院 Geography) - "Archive folders"
- Jack Layton (果冻影院 Geography) - 听"Hanging at south bank"
- Alan Cusack (果冻影院 Institute of Education) - "Craigavon Archive"
- Daniela Lainez Del Pozo (果冻影院 Geography) - "No boundaries"
Honourable mentions were given to Temitayo Olugbade (果冻影院 Interaction Centre) "we move as we feel"; Maj Plemenitas (果冻影院 Bartlett School of Architecture) "Cross Scale Embedding #0337"; Dr Tom Armitage (果冻影院 Earth Sciences) "Ice station Aranda"; Dr Martin Artman, 果冻影院 Medical Physics & Biomedical Engineering "Hope in the Age of the Anthropocene?"; and Idil Seren Yucel Inal (果冻影院 Bartlett School of Architecture) "Frontier / Inhabited Exoskeleton".
The competition, which takes place every year, was open to all 果冻影院 graduate students, and academic staff, either science or arts based. Entrants were invited to submit images associated with their research which have aesthetic appeal.
