Doors to Hidden Worlds
The Power of Visualization in Science, Media, and Art
If the doors of perception were cleansed, every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite.
William Blake
Forty years of making things visible: how measurement data turns into imagery, and what comes to light that the eye alone would miss. Scientists, media practitioners and artists of the Science Visualization Lab present their work and explain how it comes about.
What it covers
- Electron microscopy
- Impact craters
- Molecular biology
- Computed tomography
- Immersive installations

Pages that move
Some of the illustrations start moving once you hold a phone over them: printed page and animation work together. The book thus bridges the same gap as the work behind it — from the still image to the moving one, from measurement to perception.
