understanding of what working with data means. The artistic practices by artists such as Ilona Sagar, Mark Didou, Liz Orton, and Beverley Hood (all artists working with data) emerge from intense research into the technoscientific, historical, and social aspects of MRI technologies. Their works play the important role of illuminating the profoundly relational features of data by showing how the scientific process leading to visualization is connected to the body, the emotional journey of patients, and their relationship with the practitioner. In addition, they explicate the changing role of data (from static to dynamic, from exact to probabilistic, etc.) in today’s machine learning era. Giving Bodies Back to Data is a must-read book for a range of readers: Whether interested in understanding the journey leading to the development of MRI technology, or the processes of art-making in an art and science context, they might find themselves becoming inextricably entangled with and benefiting from both approaches.

An artist (Brad Miller) and an engineering researcher (Diego Rosso) met at a common point: their interest in bubbles. Miller is a visual artist whose interest in bubbles has evolved over several decades. He has developed unique ways of capturing bubbles’ mesmerizing and mysterious patterns both photographically and, more uniquely, by making the high-resolution photograms of bubbles shown in this paper, allowing for detailed observation of their geometry etc. Rosso has observed the physical laws at work in these bubble patterns and distills the essence of these laws in this manuscript. This paper highlights some of their shared thoughts about what is revealed through these images.

A real breakthrough in the development of technological art and computer music was the collaboration era between the Centro di Sonologia Computazionale (CSC) and the Venice Biennale in the early 1980s. Thanks to this collaboration, computer music, which in those years was confined to research laboratories with auditions for insiders, entered the global scene of contemporary music. This interview by Sergio Canazza, current director of CSC, with two leading figures of that endeavor aims to bear witness to that creative turning point.

Computers became more standard in the early 80s and science and technology were influencing artists like myself. I began using a supercomputer and FORTRAN 77 software in order to define a non-Euclidean geometry model using conformal mapping to create art. A series of twisted and curved space images was manifested and reflective to Einstein’s general and special relativity. It was my encounter with Dr. Edward Teller, “the father of the H-bomb,” that let me to artist Francis Bacon. It was a private lesson with the artist that forced me out of the box into my own visual world.

Abstract The birth and progress of civilization are linked to the development of cities. This study investigates how people view and experience Tokyo, the populous megalopolis and major tourist hub. A digital art installation unveils a Tokyo that exists only through interaction. The authors reduce the city’s culturally dependent representation through a database using hashtags in 47 languages. The automated processing of the database finds trends in Tokyo’s representations on Instagram using Computer Vision (CV) and Natural Language Processing (NLP), yielding results in the art installation like current semiotic readings of the city.

The article presents the Smart Urban Governance for More-than-Human Future(s) anthology, comprising six speculative creative works. It draws on techniques of futuring as a methodology to explore how creative practice as an act of futuring and exhibitions as sites to ponder environmental governance can empower more-than-human futures. Reporting on participatory observations and semistructured interviews with the exhibition audience, the article posits that creative futuring can empower futures by developing awareness that environmental governance can facilitate nonhuman agencies that conserve and repair the ecological world.

The authors present a short dynamic visualization titled “Dancing with Atoms,” produced in honor of the late Irish mathematical physicist Sheila Tinney (1918–2010), the first Irish-born and -raised woman to receive a doctorate in the mathematical sciences. The visualization is inspired by Tinney’s groundbreaking work on crystal lattice vibrations and consists of an animation showing an atomic lattice structure vibrating based on data derived from a musical piece performed by her son, award-winning pianist Hugh Tinney. The acoustic signal processing and visualization were conducted using the new Science Foundation Ireland–funded “Tinney” high-performance computing cluster in Trinity College Dublin, Ireland.

Physicists study the physical world on spatial, temporal and complexity scales inaccessible through ordinary human perception. How, then, does a person ground their understanding of physics at these scales in the sensory impressions and emotional states made possible by their body? The author describes a framework that approaches this question by integrating artistic and intellectual methods, and is informed by the history of science, theories of embodied cognition and Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s philosophy of phenomenology. Its goal is to understand the subjective, internal representations of physics concepts used by practicing physicists and to explore their impact on their collective research efforts.

The author describes three interactive installations presented by the *.* Group from the turn of the Eighties to the Nineties. The first installation, Fractal Art, explored the fractal theme through various mediums, including images, music, sculpture, video and photoelectric sensors. The second installation, Foreseen Variations, featured a robot performing a choreography with a dancer in an environment equipped with a camera and TV sets, allowing the audience to be immersed in a virtual performance. The third installation, Aurora Beings, was a continuation of the previous one, where young people could program a choreography for the robot and act as both artists and engineers within the environment.
