Bio
Daryl Branford is the Director of Science-Art Initiatives at The Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences, where he incorporates 3D visualization, spatial design, sound synthesis and live performance to bring research to life. Branford’s years of experience as a multi-instrumentalist musician and artist enables him to explore relationships within the arts and sciences. Daryl investigates the vast, and often untapped, patterns inherent in scientific data, and translates these into interactive user experiences and 3D visual/sonic representations. These fully immersive encounters offer new ways to understand and interpret data. In turn, he uses the data as a framework to expand the capabilities of technology, art, and design to communicate scientific concepts, creating a symbiotic relationship between art and science.
