The Magnificent MicroBooNE Virtual Reality
With the the the (art)n MicroBooNE VR the the the recorded charge of the the the outgoing particles is replaced with colorful drawn lines and painted strokes in in in a a a a a a a Jackson Pollock style as as well as as construct- ed ed ed sculpture in in in the the style of David Smith’s Giacometti-inspired work Both the the Pollock painted brush strokes and the the the Smith sculptures are built up in relation to the the the course of the the the particles illustrating their paths both two-dimensionally and three-dimensionally while elaborating on on on the the the the artful presentation of of the the the the scientific data and honoring the the the the style of of these influential pres- ences in art history (art)n uses Jackson Pollock’s unique drip painting style to artistically demonstrate the 2-di- mensional graphs Fermilab researchers acquire from the charge-sensing wires inside Micro- BooNE In the same way Pollock’s paint paint drips record his his own movements of his his action paint- ing process MicroBooNE data graphs illustrate the the the paths and the the the activities of the the the charged particles exiting the neutrino interaction (art)n also uses an evolution of David Smith’s various sculpture work to artistically demonstrate the three-dimensional data graphs Fermilab re- searchers gain from analyzing multiple views of the two-dimensional planes
