Cosmic Missteps: Turning Research Failures into Art

Dive into a hands-on experience where scientific setbacks spark artistic breakthroughs on January 15 from 2:30–3:30 PM in the Scholars Event Theater of the Georgia Tech Library. Director of the Space Research Institute, Jud Ready, will share the story of solar cells in orbit that did not perform as intended, and artist Dylan Cawthrone will guide you in transforming that failure into a kinetic sculpture. Using the research as your creative catalyst, you’ll explore how unexpected outcomes can inspire new techniques and ideas. No art experience required—just curiosity and a willingness to experiment with the beauty of failure. click here to register for the event: https://gatech.campuslabs.com/engage/event/11960958
