Slow Vis: Extending Opportunities for Insight and Understanding Over Time

Andrea Polli has been working at the intersection of art, science, and technology since 1999. With degrees in both art and computing, she comes to collaborations with a solid art training and extensive practical experience. Her projects focus on creating opportunities for collaborators and student researchers to participate in public projects that express environmental data and information in new ways. In this interview with department editors Bruce Campbell and Francesca Samsel, Polli discusses how she has implemented a "slow vis" approach to real-time visualization in large-scale public art installations.
