ERNST HAECKEL AND THE VISUALIZATION OF SCIENCE – A TALK FOR 'KEY OF LIFE', 2009/2014 - Part 1 of 4: ‘Rhetoric of design, to begin with’ [02]
Abstract
Part 1 discusses contemporary visual design and designers' imagination versus visualisation in biological sciences.
It is part 1 of a Web-article series in 4 parts by Marjan Groot on art-design-science-ethics.tumblr.com The text is based on two talks that I gave in 2009 for the ‘Festival Key of Life’ and updated in 2014. For this festival in 2009, the German scientist Ernst Haeckel, active at the end of the nineteenth century, was the starting point to inspire artists and designers for a project of their own. Two of these projects feature in my Blog 05.
