This guided tour through the exhibition will not only give you a closer look at the images, but also at the research behind them.<\/p>\n<p>By pairing Earth observation and astronomical imagery, new perspectives emerge: Earth appears as one planet among many planets, with structures that echo across the cosmos. The curators intentionally worked at the edge of abstraction &#8211; resulting in a scientific and aesthetic &#8220;cabinet of wonders&#8221;, with images that incentivize to dive into the research behind them.<\/p>\n<p>The special exhibition \u201cAesthetics of Wonder\u201d was conceived to mark the opening of the UZH Space Hub at the Switzerland Innovation Park Zurich (IPZ) to celebrate the collaboration between experts of different disciplines, united by a passion for space exploration and research. After exhibits at EPFL, ETH Z\u00fcrich, UZH and PSI, the images have now made the full circle and are back here, at home at IPZ.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition shall foster dialogue between science, art, and the public, promoting discovery and innovation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two black holes merging, aerial views of the Eye of the Sahara, or simulations of entire galaxies: Images created by or for research showcase the Earth and space from an [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":13408,"template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[61,101,60,65,115,58],"class_list":["post-13412","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tribe_events_cat-english","tribe_events_cat-families","tribe_events_cat-german","tribe_events_cat-guided-tours","tribe_events_cat-how-we-create-knowledge","tribe_events_cat-requires-ticket","cat_english","cat_families","cat_german","cat_guided-tours","cat_how-we-create-knowledge","cat_requires-ticket"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
