Interpretation through Art: Ulrike Kuchner


For me, the relationship of art and science through various retinal interpretations artists display is the most exciting new developments in the art world. Artists typically illustrate an emotion, memory or idea; science thought to be so structured and pragmatic is now seen in diverse artistic versions creating an almost ironic twist to the basics of science itself.


The Austrian astronomer and visual artist Ulrike Kuchner collects data of the nuclei of interacting and colliding galaxies, and then reinterprets it through color with printing and painting techniques. This new art and science collaboration Kuchner hopes, will pique the audience’s interest and encourage a creative process in an audience not usually connected to science.
