<span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Our understanding of the world is limited by the capacity of our senses to ingest information and by our brain’s ability to interpret it. Through the use of technology, we know that the universe we live in is far more
complex and richer with information than what can be perceived by humanity. From microscopic to cosmic, information that transcends our lived experiences is difficult to comprehend. Our ability to augment our senses with technology has resulted in an accumulation
of vast amounts of data, often in a form that needs to be translated to be understood. This SPARKS session explores the conceptual and creative aspects of scientific visualization. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">When raw numbers are converted to graphic or animated illustrations, important decisions must be made to facilitate human comprehension, interpretation, and analysis of often inconceivable natural phenomena. The use
of art and design principles, coupled with an understanding of human perception and cognition, as well as a thorough command of computer graphics technologies enables scientific visualization artists to reveal the complexities of the incredible world we live
in. Through the use of computer animation, graphic illustration, virtual reality, immersive installation, 3d printing, augmented reality and other mediums of sensory expression, scientific visualization artists and scientists are the important mediators between
the known and the unknown, the seen and the unseen, and the imperceptible and the perceived. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Green, Ohio, USA. Mitchell is a member of the ISEA International Advisory Committee and ACM SIGGRAPH History and Digital Arts Committee where she focuses on the development of their online archives. She is currently the SIGGRAPH 2023 conference History Chair
in charge of the immersive Time Tunnel, history displays and retrospective talks. Her current creative practice focuses on development of physically immersive data visualization environments that showcase climate change over time. Mitchell’s artworks explore
spatial and experiential relationships to our physical, social, cultural and psychological environment through interaction, abstraction and audio. She has created numerous abstract visual music installations and animations that have been shown in hundreds
of venues world-wide. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
