Another interesting article from NCSA - about Computer Visualization Expert. access.ncsa.uiuc.edu These include the ground-breaking article, "Using the Supercomputer to Visualize Higher Dimensions: An Artist's Contribution to Scientific Visualization," published in Leonardo, an international journal of art, technology and science. In this article, she developed the concept of "Renaissance Teams." This sounds like pretty cool stuff. I wonder if they will ever be able to harness mass numbers of PCs in parallel on the internet to create a massive supercomputer for scientific visualization projects about our universe, that can take a quantum leap beyond what is possible now. As the article says, to " demonstrate the power of computer technologies in making complex scientific information comprehensible. This melding of art and science to make the invisible visible Cox calls "edutainment." Maybe it should be called a journey into the Telecosm? JW
