Daniel Ambrosi
computational photography, DeepDream, geology, astronomy, biology
Based in Half Moon Bay, California, Daniel explores novel methods of visual presentation since graduating from Cornell University with degrees in architecture and 3D graphics. He devised a unique form of computational photography that generates extremely high resolution immersive vibrant images. His latest work builds upon his previous experiments by adding a powerful new graphics tool to his artistic workflow; namely a modified version of "DeepDream," a computer vision program evolved from Google engineers' desire to visualize the inner workings of Deep Learning artificial intelligence models. He has engaged in successful collaborations producing AI-enabled artistic interpretations of scientific images in geology, biology, and astronomy. Daniel is interested in collaborating with any scientist capturing or creating extremely high resolution images (100 - 500+ megapixels).

Rosemary Chalmers
zoology, botany, marine biology, anatomy, paleontology, evolutionary biology, astrobiology, exobiology, exopaleontology, bioastronomy, cyrobiology, thermobiology, speculative biology, speuclative evolution
As a Course Leader at Leeds Arts University (U.K.), Rosemary Chalmers is currently developing the new BA (Hons) Comic and Concept Art. Her artwork explores the development of creatures through drawing, informed by existing animal anatomy and practice-based research methods. Rosemary enjoys experimenting with different approaches to creature design. The outcomes can be highly unique, for example, when beginning a creature with systematic changes to existing animals or through more chaotic mark-making. The diversity of animals on Earth inspire her drawings. Evolution fascinates her, and even more so, the possibilities of evolution in the future and on other planets. Recently Rosemary has also been investigating the possibility of animal-plant hybrids in creature design. Continuing to develop her practice, she aims to create creatures with real-world plausibility. Synthesising iterative drawing techniques and a visual knowledge of animal anatomy, Rosemary hopes to further explore how interacting with scientific principles can impact her practice and perhaps beyond.

Ioannis Michaloudis was born in 1965 in Anavra-Karditsas and raised in Athens, Greece. Graduating in 1989 from the Faculty of Fine Arts and Design, he continued his studies in Paris, where he received a degree in Product Design from the ENSArts Décoratifs. He earned his Master's degree in Visual Arts and his Doctorate from Sorbonne University, where he now develops its position on the “elastic arts” by analyzing the relationship between visual and applied arts through the presentation of his works of land art and in situ projects. He carried out a postdoctoral research at MIT on the (Nephele)3, the Cubed Cloud project. At MIT Michaloudis met silica aerogel, a nanomaterial used by NASA to collect stardust. For the reason that this ethereal material looks like our threatened sky, Michaloudis transferred it (worldwide first) in art & design.

Regina Valluzzi
nanotechnology, biophysics, painting, optics, chemistry, material science, polymer science
Dr. Regina Valluzzi has always pursued art in tandem with her technical achievements in Nanotechnology and Biophysics. She is a trained scientist, with a B.S. in Materials Science from MIT and Ph.D. in Polymer Science from University of Massachusetts Amherst. She has spent years as a researcher in the chemical, physical and biological sciences. Dr. Valluzzi’s scientific experience is evident in her approach to painting as both an art and a science. For many years her science has revolved around the topics of polymers and optical phenomena, and these twin fascinations are present in much of her art. Her paintings are very much about the properties of polymer-based paints and manipulation of those properties. Relief, texture, opacity and surface finish are as integral to her work as form, composition, and subject (abstract). Many of her paintings involve juxtapositions of colors with very low contrast or rhythmic patterns of evolving color. She is interested in connecting with others with similar interests
to help with interpretive science materials.
