Murmurations: Drawing Together Art, Visualization, and Physical Phenomena

Dennis Hylnsky, a professor at the Rhode Island School of Design and head of the Film/Animation/Video Department, is a practicing artist and early adopter of electronic media. At RISD he has studied 3D modeling and animation. One of his current projects focuses on the movement of small animals and what animal visualizations can tell us. In this issue's Art on Graphics, department editors Bruce Campbell and Francesca Samsel talk with Hylnsky about his work and how it can help to bridge the gap between art and science practice and facilitate a dialogue between the two communities.
