I really appreciate Steven’s description of Marmalade Type by Rus Khasanov. Specifically, Steven discusses how art can use a rigor and understanding of science as a means to create visually interesting pieces. The train exploration Steven described is a wonderful example of how one can begin asking standard scientific questions, such as “what is birefringence?” and use the response as a generator for a project. I would be interested to see to what extent the images were edited and color corrected, and am curious to what extent it would it matter if someone is staying true to the science of the project given its art context.
