Dataspaces Event - Visualising Computing

Join Dr Robert Fischer and Professors Axel Voigt, Dirk Brockmann and Matthew McGinity as they discuss the role of visual imagery in their scientific practice. Gwendolin Kremer will give an input on the works of the Dresden-based artist Charlotte Sommer-Landgraf. The event will circle around questions like: What is the relationship between visualisation and understanding? Or what role does aesthetics play in scientific visualisation?

When: 17:00-18:30, Wednesday, February 5, 2025
