Homology of DanceOSA's Spring 2018 project, Homology of Dance, is currently on display in the Walter Library Reference Room (rm 206)! This project highlights the homologous limb bones humans share with other animals and how they relate to motion. This exhibit was inspired by the Alonzo King LINES Ballet's production Biophony, which included a soundtrack of nature and animal sounds.
The exhibit will be on display through March 2020. |

Augmented Reality SandboxHow do we represent a 3D world in 2D images? Our augmented reality sandbox reads the topography of the sand and creates a topographic map that updates as the landscape changes, showing relationships between 3D landforms and their representation on 2D maps. This fall, the sandbox is getting a facelift and will be donated to the UMN Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences as a teaching and outreach tool.

What is OSA?We are a student-run program designed to improve public communication of science and interdisciplinary collaboration. We produce public exhibits and events that provide scientific context for artistic works and artistic expression of scientific research. Participation is open to all University of Minnesota students.
