“Vela” pulsar sculpture

Walters, P. and Davies, K. (2010) “Vela” pulsar sculpture. [Artefact] Images Information Untitled vela Creators: Walters, P. and Davies, K. Abstract: This sculpture was created through the transformation of astrophysical data into tangible 3D form. The sculpture was 3D printed from a signal, detected by a radio telescope, which emanates from a distant star – a pulsar – located in the constellation of Vela, some 950 light years from Earth. The signal was transformed through a process of metamorphosis that exploits audio processing, 3D modelling and rapid prototyping technologies. The resulting 3D printed sculpture is a translation of the signal from the pulsar – a 3D manifestation of the pulsar itself, and a direct translation of sound into visual representation.
