Remembering David through photos
David filled his personal web page with his art, intellect and humor.
I was so saddened to read about David’s passing. David was instrumental in stimulating our work on the Brain and Cell projects created for the Carnegie Science Center planetarium. His visioning and suggestions led to some of the most advanced public presentations about the subject matter that have taken place in science centers. I specifically remember a conversation with David at the beginning of the Brain project in which we “brainstormed” about how to transform the planetarium into a living interactive simulator of how the brain works. That conversation led our team at the STUDIO for Creative Inquiry to produce several cutting edge interactive sequences showing how neurons fire and to letting the audience play the roles of individual synapses. I also remember his enthusiasm for the emerging field of high-end CG and his generous sharing of the PSC facilities with our project.
