Home Vis A Thon Transitional spaces is a collaboration probing the poetry of decay etched into bumblebee wings. like tree rings or worn teeth, wing deterioration holds stories about the bumblebees’ lives—a language the project decodes through hybrid and tactile forms. Participant projects are completed over a two day period called the vis a thon weekend. during this time, participants work directly with risd faculty, facilitators and graduate students to develop and enact their proposals.

The program provides opportunities for participants to collaboratively experiment with new and innovative ways to create and use visual imagery and language. Unlike other programs that use design solely as a way to communicate findings, he adds, risd’s vis a thon uses art to create a space in which to ask new and unexpected questions. “we’re trying to generate open discourse and see where that leads,” copeland explains.

Vis a thon is a program designed to reimagine visualization as an evolving process of inquiry, indivisible from the research itself. the program provides opportunities for participants to collaboratively experiment with new and innovative ways to create and use visual imagery and language. Throughout school, i have often been told to put art on the back burner, or have had it laughed off entirely, and to put my head down and focus on math and science. vis a thon is one of the first times i have had a dedicated and supported space to bring that balance back into my work with the ocean. The vis a thon weekend is a 2 day event where collaborative groups work on risd’s campus to fully realize their proposals. teams are connected to technicians and studios, along with the materials stipend necessary to complete their projects. Vis a thon is a collaborative program that pairs rhode island stem researchers with risd graduate student artists to explore art based approaches to visualization that surface unexpected questions and connections in their research, through a focused, hackathon style format.
