Announcing the release of RAW DATA. Artistic Transformation, edited by Ingrid Koenig, Margit Schild and Elvira Hufschmid. Ingrid Koenig is Associate Professor in the Faculty of Graduate Studies and the Faculty of Visual Art + Material Practice.

RAW DATA. Artistic Transformation: An interdisciplinary dialogue between physics and art. (Eds.) Koenig, Schild & Hufschmid, Berlin/Vancouver 2013. ISBN 978-0-9691944-1-5.

The book is the result of an ongoing research project that was part of the Goethe Satellite 2013. For more information about the project, please visit the Goethe Satellite website.

RAW DATA is a project by the Goethe-Institut in cooperation with TRIUMF, Emily Carr University and Revised Projects, Vancouver, Canada. Curated by Koenig, Schild & Hufschmid.

Koenig, Schild & Hufschmid, artists-in-residence at TRIUMF, Canada´s National Laboratory for Particle and Nuclear Physics, Vancouver, invited eight artists to respond to a physics problem, passing and translating work across disciplines, culminating in a “RAW DATA. Artistic Transformation“ chain reaction. They formulated a model of collaboration by generating a collective, creative field that wove art and physics into a fabric of associations, images and metaphors.

Participating artists: Dennis Burke, Dr. Randy Lee Cutler, David Khang, Ingrid Koenig, Sonnet L´Abbé , Ben Reeves, Stefan Smulovitz and Suzi Webster.

Participating physicists: Dr. Anadi Canepa, Dr. Abhishek Kumar, Dr. Ania Kwiatkowski, Dr. Kendall Mahn, Dr. Tim Meyer, Dr. Chris Ruiz and Dr. Reda Tafirout.
