DESCRIPTION:Science sometimes provides works of art ! Get ready to be capt
 ivated by the amazing images taken in EPFL Laboratories by EPFL researcher
 s. Selected by [Figure 1.A.] and the EPFL Center for Imaging\, these ima
 ges will be visible at EPFL Pavilion A October 20 to 29.\n\nThe Visual Won
 ders of Science is a two-part exhibition presented by the EPFL Imaging Cen
 ter in collaboration with Figure 1.A.\, featuring images and videos taken 
 in the course of research on campus and/or by EPFL researchers. Some of th
 em are presented to the public for the first time.\n\nThe Visual Wonders o
 f Science is an exhibition of images emerging from EPFL laboratories\, and
  from the imagination of the scientists who work there. The specific knowl
 edge of each author meets their individual sensibilities to offer us a uni
 que reading of the world around us. It is in this interaction between know
 ledge and feeling that we discover the real human beings behind the abstra
 ct figure of the scientist. We see them behind their microscopes\, in the 
 pale light of their computers\, closing the door behind them at the end of
  the day.\n\nAlong the way\, unknown facets of reality are revealed to us 
 through their eyes. Our senses are sharpened\, enhanced by the tools of th
 ese creative scientists. The most advanced microscopy techniques shed ligh
 t on the patterns of life and the infinitely small. Stories are written in
  computer code and transcribed into images. Even everyday life is illumina
 ted by new questions posed by the authors. For a moment\, without knowing 
 anything about their research\, we share their sense of wonder and the cur
 iosity that drives them.\n\nThe selection of images offers a scientific ae
 sthetic\, based on observation\, interpretation and expression of the worl
 d around us. The singular approach of each author reminds us that in scien
 ce as elsewhere\, what we notice and what we say about it depends on our p
 ersonal histories and our knowledge. No one can escape their own subjectiv
 ity. Attempting to understand the workings of the world does not mean taki
 ng away its mysteries. On the contrary\, it means enriching each moment wi
 th new ideas\, going beyond the obvious. Even the most prosaic elements of
  our lives can conceal secrets and wonders.  Each image invites a dialogu
 e between the scientists and the public\, who in turn interpret their mean
 ing based on their own experiences.\n\n\n\n
