CUBISM

CuBISM is a multi-year interdisciplinary research and educational/training program at the intersection of science and art, focusing on art as a catalyst for the development of innovative and holistic approaches to change over time in complex materials systems. Through comp utationally based imaging of structure in the materials used to create works of art, the central challenge is to tie the visual appearance of painted surfaces to the underlying molecular and microscopic material structures, and to use this correlation to investigate material properties. The analytical and methodological tools developed by the project will have broad relevance to the materials science and conservation science communities, illustrating the creative aspects of both science and art to a diverse audience... CuBISM is supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Partnerships for International Research and Education (PIRE) program under Grant Number 1743748... Rather than compartmentalizing..
