Brunnier Art Museum
How can data become sculpture? Brunnier Art Museum curator Adrienne Gennett will lead visitors on an exploration of Norwood Viviano’s complex glass sculptures, which aim to visualize complex information through striking works of art.
Viviano’s sculptures combine GIS mapping, LiDAR, and photogrammetry with glassblowing and casting to transform agricultural and infrastructure data into glass forms. The exhibition features a new commission: cast glass architecture of Iowa State’s 1860 Farm House and Agronomy Building, embedded with maps exploring agriculture’s past and future.
Admission and the tour are free and open to the public.
