Using data from NASA's space satellite missions Galileo and Voyager this short video aims to educate and spark wonder of what it would look like to approach Jupiter and potentially one of its many moons. This animation was created using a graphic 3D rending software, Python and some of the imagination of a scientist and artist.
In the age of facts and information, the true essence, meaning, and value of science have washed away from our society. It's hard to reconcile through these data and graphs and occasional images, that astronomy has infinite dimensions of imagination. My art aims to bridge the conceptual gap between astro-physical/astronomical data and three-dimensional art through short animations and videos.
Andy graduated from Columbia in May 2019. He currently works as a post-baccalaureate researcher at Caltech studying supernovae in the local universe. GitHub: andytza.github.io |
