WHEN: SUNDAY, OCTOBER 20 - WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23
WHERE: SEMINAR ROOM LEVEL
Step into a world where the microscopic becomes magnificent and the language of science translates into pure visual poetry. In this immersive exhibit, stunning images derived from histology, microscopy, and pathology data are transformed into windows of light and color, floating against a deep black background. The interplay of projected light and real flower arrangements creates a dynamic, ever-shifting landscape—where the organic meets the digital, and the fractal patterns of nature repeat from the micro to the macro.
With each projection, science reveals its spiritual side, offering glimpses into the intricate beauty that lies beneath the surface of life. The accompanying videos continue the transformation, guiding the viewer through visual metaphors of growth, change, and discovery. Awe-inspiring and meditative, the exhibit invites you to consider the profound elegance of nature’s hidden architecture. Here, science becomes art, and truth becomes a breathtaking journey of exploration.
What knowledge lies beyond the grasp of modern science? When we uncover answers to our most profound questions, will we receive them with humility and grace? Nature, one of our greatest teachers, offers glimpses into the questions we must continue to ponder. Looking through these windows, we are reminded of our place within the cycles of life. Despite our knowledge, achievements, and accolades, there are moments when we feel powerless. Yet, it is the beauty and thrill of exploration that propel us to keep asking these essential questions.
