A video clip on his collaboration with Bjork: Lose notes: …Bjork used the program\u00a0Mathematica<\/em>, computer hacker, gamers, musicologists…biophilia \u2014 love of living things. Bjork wanted “bling dna” …maya is berry’s tool of choice, been using it for 10 years. Homages to Archimboldo (Bjork’s face in her dna) and The Eamses’ Power of X (huge zoom out). From bjork.com: Berry Tedx (CalTech) talk Quote by Berry: Biomedical animator and Bjork collaborator. Trained as cell biologist and microscopist. On working for Bjork: “I\u2019m just having a lot of fun: that\u2019s the main goal for me \u2013 just to let loose and have fun and, as Bj\u00f6rk described … Continue reading

\n<\/strong>armed with two science degrees and trained in the use of advanced microscopes, drew berry isn’t exactly your run-of-the-mill animator. the creator of bio-inspired animations on biophilia spends his days painstakingly poring over scientific papers before putting virtual pen to paper and recreating the vast worlds that exist within our bodies \u2013 microbes fighting infections, parasites replicating, proteins repairing…
\nhis animations have exhibited at venues such as the guggenheim museum, moma, the royal institute of great britain and the university of geneva. in 2010 he received a macarthur fellowship “genius award”.<\/p>\n

\n<\/em>Talks about scientific visualization…David Goodsell, scientist who painted scientific illustrations (Scripps Research Institute). Wanted to add motion to the kind of work Goodsell did, to make it more dynamic. Amazing animation of stem cell dynamics. DNA science visualization.

\n<\/strong>\u201cMy approach is the opposite tack to simplifying the science,\u201d says Berry. \u201cRather than dumbing it down, I set out to show the audience exactly what the scientists are talking about. By building accurate visualizations founded on real scientific data, the animations come alive of their own accord, engage the audience, and go a long way towards explaining what the science is about. The science is rich, detailed and fascinating, and if you can watch it in action you will intuitively get to know how it works.\u201d
