Visualizing the Unseen
Visualizing the Unseen grew out of Synergy II, a multi-year collaboration between the Art League of Rhode Island and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI). The project paired scientists with artists to create a “common language” using art to communicate the science.
Noah Germolus, a Chemical Oceanographer in the MIT-WHOI Joint Program, collaborated with contemporary painter Heather Stivison for over two years. The resulting paintings visualized Noah's research into metabolite availability in various zones of the ocean’s water column.
