I finally got around to scanning a series of printed slides (okay, decal-ed slides) that I produced as an art project last spring. (Shout out to the wonderful work of the Creative Futures #HASTAC group, who let me show it last June.) IU has some archival quality scanners, so I got these HUGE scans of each of the slides.

The idea was to overlap two images in different colors (Red and blue) to think about how aspects of medicine which are shown to the public (happy people living in sanatoria) are interlinked with the really awful extractive practices of scientific medicine. The material I used were related to tuberculosis around 1900.

These I love because both images kind of get lost in a kind of abstraction.

#DH #CriticalMaking #ArtsBasedResearch

Continuing the rundown of my work, I was excited to start merging #research & #art with @jessicacalarco in our collaboration for #VisualStudies. We drew on her #PandemicParentingStudy interview data & discussed how to translate themes visually. Then I produced three illustrations.

Again, I'm grateful to the journal and our gracious reviewers. I'm always expecting pushback on #ArtsBasedResearch.
