Macrofab Engineering Podcast

In this episode, Parker Dillmann and Stephen Kraig chat with Cy Keener, an interdisciplinary artist who merges art and technology to document and visualize the natural world. Cy discusses his journey from architecture to creating custom instruments and sensors for scientific research in the Arctic. He explains how his work helps visualize complex phenomena like sea ice and ocean waves, and shares insights into his collaboration with scientists. Cy also delves into the engineering challenges of building durable sensors for extreme environments and the artistic process of transforming raw data into compelling visual art.Key Discussion Points:Cy Keener's background in architecture and transition to art and technology.The process of designing custom instruments and sensors for Arctic research.Challenges of creating durable electronics for extreme environments.Collaboration with scientists to document and visualize sea ice and icebergs.The artistic process of transforming scientific data into visual art.The signif
