The Art of Physics project showcases the beauty and complexity of physics research – theoretical, experimental and computational. The artworks are on display in the Physics Building on the Camperdown campus of the University of Sydney.
Celebrating the interplay of art and science
I was so honoured to have developed three pieces of digital photographic artwork included in this project.
Creativity is a vital part of scientific enquiry. From capturing the wonder of the distant Universe to developing experiments to trap individual atoms for quantum computation, physics research requires deep specialist knowledge, as well as thinking about things we know in radically different ways.
This project celebrates this meeting of art and science. Each image is an eye-catching snapshot of the research taking place in the School of Physics. Some of the images are from the real world, some show simulations, and others are more traditional artworks.
Currently, we have images from the sub-disciplines of astronomy, medical physics, and photonics. As we expand the project, each of the major research cohorts for Physics will be represented.
