An Art – Science Collaboration

 

WHAT:           She has traveled around the ocean depths and seen mysterious animals. She has shared her discoveries and experiences at TED  and on the BBC and National Geographic channels. Most recently her use of bioluminescence to lure the giant squid was featured in the Discovery Channel’s documentary Monster Squid: The Giant is Real. The public is invited to meet Dr. Edith Widder during a special presentation at the Aquarium of the Pacific on August 27 at 7:00 p.m. and see some of what she has seen in a special underwater photography exhibit in the Aquarium’s Great Hall through August 31, 2013.

 

Widder and photographer and inventor Dr. Steve Bernstein have collaborated to produce an exhibition of photographs featuring digitally enhanced images of marine life. The photographs, captured by Widder from locations around the world and altered by Bernstein, depict sea creatures like sea jellies and squid, accentuating their colors and shapes. The exhibit pieces are printed on aluminum via giclée dye sublimation. Widder’s lecture at the Aquarium is titledThe Kraken Revealed: The Story Behind Finding the Giant Squid and will take place in the Ocean Theater and be broadcast live on the Aquarium’s website. A deep-sea explorer, oceanographer, marine biologist, and co-founder of the Ocean Research and Conservation Association, Widder was the first to capture video recordings of bioluminescent animals and the first to film the giant squid in its natural habitat.

  1. For one thing, these units are completely eco-friendly, relying on nothing more than
    the power of super-heated steam to loosen and remove different kinds of stains and deposits.
    What is the most ideal lightweight carpet vacuum cleaner.
    It is also important that you should consider its form.

  2. In the morning it can be quite a great pick-me-up, and then some individuals even have one inside the evening to wind
    down. The parts must go back in the unit with minimal
    logic sufficient reason for ease. One final way in which coffee brewer reviews may help
    you is that you could possibly be aiming to fill a specific need with your new purchase.

  3. The Casiotron watch received enormous acclaim like a revolutionary item that symbolized a full departure
    in the traditional watch. If you intend on getting a small
    G Shock lineup, make sure you shop around in order that you may take your budget far.
    Casio G-Shocks have been one of leaders of watch industry when it comes to
    innovative functionality.

  4. The dynamics of the front and rear rails can be effectively pictured using this example: suppose you had two bottles – a two-gallon jug and a 16 oz.
    The Panasonic SD-YD250 Automatic Bread Maker is equipped with a timer of up to
    13 hours so you can set it to bake bread in time for breakfast or dinner.
    Best thing about bread maker is that we get fresh breads out of it and as long as
    the bread is baking we keep waiting for it in anticipation.

  5. This will help you to undock all of the features like plug ins, transport, and mixer so that you can concentrate on the track view without all of your panels inside
    way. The online world has more resources and options than any physical electronics store may possibly possess.
    A generation ago, a motor vehicle DVD player would have sounded
    like science fiction.
