Immersed in N-Dimensions: Using the Creative Process as a Computational Framework for Unfolding Complex Systems (Recorded 2018)
In this information-rich age when voluminous amounts of data are being generated, processed, and transformed at ever increasing rates, Joann Kuchera-Morin asks how does one master working with these data as if it were intuitive and second nature? Can one master control much in the same way that a composer or musician creates or performs a composition, with intuitive precision? And if so, could one design a computational framework that could support this creative process, allowing researchers of different fields to work with their data as artists do? Recorded on 07/13/2015.
