Large-scale mosaic for Remsen Hall, Queens College, New York
commissioned by the City University of New York for Queens College


For Remsen Science Hall at Queens College, I created a 3-story mosaic, based on my work using atomic particles moving through space. Using computer code in a procedural drawing process, I keyed in the parameters of the building space and simulated a particle collision. A nucleus of particles emits from the top floor, falling to the bottom. Other particles travel down corridors, wrapping around 9 columns. Based on a digital image, each pixel becomes a tile. This project bridges the historical use of mosaic in public places into a modern scientific digital imaging vernacular.
