The shape of this spent flower from our Queen Victoria Agave flower stalk (that I painted for my Perpetual Journal) reminds me of bacteria with flagella!

After I finished painting a blooming Ocotillo for my Perpetual Journal weekly art, an Iron Cross Blister Beetle visited our patio. With those amazing colors, I couldn’t resist adding it to my PJ page!

Here’s another of my Perpetual Journal entries: Cooper’s Hawk (watercolor). We regularly see these in our yard!

(In Perpetual Journals you draw/write 1x/week & leave room on each page to draw/write that same week the next year & following years until each page is full).

Time for some shameless self-promotion: my new gig with Professor Chris Fluke at the #SmartSAT CRC at the Swinburne Centre for Astrophysics and Supercomputing, via an #ANAT Bespoke Residency. I'm the #sciartist-in-residence for 6 months, looking at using Unreal Engine for #XR development using near-real-time multi- and #hyperspectral satellite data, machine learning and human-computer interaction. Perfect - couldn't be more thrilled 🙂

Here’s the 4th in my Tucson Yard Journal series: September. Temperatures & rainfall decrease, insects still flourish, & a few leaves start to turn yellow - the desert’s version of Fall foliage!

#introduction
Hi, I'm Peter - by day I'm a #Sciartist, developing different types of #Science and #Art #Visualizations using #GameEngines #Fulldome #XR. I have a PhD in #ComputationalGeophysics, specialising in #DataVisualization, and another in #Semiotics and #ArtHistory. I'm fascinated by #Antarctica #Wilderness #DigitalHeritage and worried about #ClimateChange, so I try and make work that explores these to aid understanding. I've made #Fulldome movies about #DarkMatter and #AboriginalSonglines, and experiment with novel types of #ImmersiveMedia and #HCI for #Museum and #GLAM applications. By night my magpie interests range across #Astrodon to #ml and #CognitiveNeuroscience, #Mathstodon #Consilience #Literature #Philosophy - I read a lot. When I have a free moment, I'm trying to builld an #OffGrid home. Well OK, #shack :)
I'll approve follows if I can get an idea of who you are from your #introduction. I'd like friendly polite quality in my feed, not random quantity. That seems to be one of the best things about #mastodon! #lists!
