Course Description:
Questions we want to address:
Course Goals:
Student Work:
1) How do scientists get from analysis of data to discovery? What is the methodology and what is the process by which that happens? Do artists proceed in a similar or different way? 2) What are the methods of representation? To what degree does aesthetics play a role in the process of scientific discovery and representation?
To map out the process by which data collection leads to discovery
To study the role of tools, technologies as means to discovery
To what degree is the representation a neutral process?
The course will conclude with student presentation/papers to be presented in class and posted at the course website on the topic of research, discovery, and representation.
