GROW: visualising nature at nanoscale

GROW' is a practice-led research in which Erica is investigating the aesthetic possibilities of computational extension of vision through 3D Microcomputed Tomography X-rays (Micro-CT) in the XCT Facility at the ANU Department of Mathematics. Her intention for this project is to capture in 4D the dynamic process of propagating agricultural seeds, from embryo to first leaf stage. Micro-CT is conventionally static but there is now ground-breaking work capturing movement as an object is transformed; such as a seed sprouting from an embryonic state. She is visualising this data through a unique scientific volume exploration tool Drishti.
