| summary |
The results of a needs-assessment study of the Art community recently conducted at CSE@SSL at UC Berkeley - which investigated how large databases of space science imagery and data analysis tools can be used for Education and Public Outreach purposes - have highlighted the artistic community's strong interest for greater involvement and exposure to space science. Artists expressed their desire to have access to space science research and data, and to participate in the process of creating compelling space science related tools and interfaces. New approaches have been suggested by them as regards the presentation of information on a multi-sensorial and intuitive way, all pointing to more effective methods of space science knowledge acquisition. |
