Fulbright Scholarship

8/2/2015

2 Comments

 
In a little more than month I will be moving to Vienna, Austria for a Fulbright Scholarship in Installation Art.

There will definitely be more updates to follow, but here is a copy of the abstract from my application:

I will be researching and collecting data sets on the globes and maps at the Globe Museum that will then be translated into conceptual maps and globes based on a visual system I develop. I will be taking classes in the Art and Science Master Program at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna to learn about data visualization and receive feedback, while also collaborating with the alternative project space Kulturdrogerie to involve the community.
