PERIODIC LANDSCAPES
Royal Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh UK
April 2000

This was the major launch of the Periodic Landscapes at the Royal Museum of Scotland and a feature of the Edinburgh Science Festival.

The Periodic Landscapes - are a series of computer generated ‘landscape’ views based on relationships and patterns within the periodic table such as ionisation energies, and masses of the atoms. The various values were extrapolated from bar charts to create a 3-dimensional ‘landscape’ view of the table. The Periodic Landscapes currently exist as a suite of 16 Iris gliclée prints of which all framed pieces were displayed at the Edinburgh Science Festival . Also included was a 15 minute video featuring a computer generated ‘fly-through’ of four landscapes shown on free standing 24” monitors.
