Research Images as Art: winners announced

9 December 2016

Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø graduate researchers have turned their research into works of art in the Research Images as Art / Art Images as Research competition for 2016/17, run by the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø Doctoral School.

Fragile Materiality The winners were announced December 7.

First prize went to Bernadette Devilat, a PhD student in the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø Bartlett School of Architecture, for her image entitled "Fragile materiality".

Her image is a still from a 3D laser scanning record from Zuñiga, a heritage area in Chile affected by an earthquake in 2010. The image was composed using scans from a damaged home, representing both interior and exterior spaces. The transparency of the image enables the interior to be seen, giving an aura of fragility to buildings endangered by earthquakes.

"It is a great opportunity to show a little bit of what I am studying in my PhD concerning the role of the record for the re-construction of Chilean historical villages affected by earthquakes. It is great that some of the key aspects of my research can be conveyed to the general public through one of my images, especially considering that it was selected by a multidisciplinary jury," Devilat said.

Devilat receives a prize of £400, while the six runners-up all receive £200 prizes:

  • Suk Cheng (Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø Surgery and Interventional Sciences) - "The roads to the brain"
  • Matteo Mauro (Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø Bartlett School of Architecture) - "Visualising Sound"
  • Sarah Kunz (Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø Geography) - "Archive folders"
  • Jack Layton (Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø Geography) - Ìý"Hanging at south bank"
  • Alan Cusack (Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø Institute of Education) - "Craigavon Archive"
  • Daniela Lainez Del Pozo (Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø Geography) - "No boundaries"

Honourable mentions were given to Temitayo Olugbade (Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø Interaction Centre) "we move as we feel"; Maj Plemenitas (Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø Bartlett School of Architecture) "Cross Scale Embedding #0337"; Dr Tom Armitage (Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø Earth Sciences) "Ice station Aranda"; Dr Martin Artman, Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø Medical Physics & Biomedical Engineering "Hope in the Age of the Anthropocene?"; and Idil Seren Yucel Inal (Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø Bartlett School of Architecture) "Frontier / Inhabited Exoskeleton".

The competition, which takes place every year, was open to all Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø graduate students, and academic staff, either science or arts based. Entrants were invited to submit images associated with their research which have aesthetic appeal.
