Abstract: 3D graphics visualization is equal part mathematics, geometry, and design. Based on the knowledge visualization framework, the author investigates the structure of a mineral to find if meaningful visualization pertaining to the field of art can be extracted from scientific resource. Working with the lines, spheres, and polygons that characterize crystal at the nanoscale provided the author an exceptional environment from which to extract coherent visualizations sustainable in the art environment. The outcome was tested in a variety of interactive platforms and opened a larger debate on cross-pollination between science and arts. Additionally, the experiment provided new ground of investigation for unexpected connections between mathematics, earth sciences, and local cultures.
