Exhibition: Seeing the Unseeable
In modern life, data is so ubiquitous, it's practically invisible — but should it be? ArtCenter’s exhibition Seeing the Unseeable, opening Thursday, brings together 20 years of work from 16 artists + designers at the forefront of using data visualization as a springboard for creative expression and cultural critique.
Experience custom algorithms as large-scale installations, the beauty of threatened coral reefs as intricate stitches of crochet, storm systems as suspended titanium cloud sculptures, and much more.
Seeing the Unseeable is part of Getty's PST ART: Art & Science Collide, a landmark series of exhibitions in partnership with leading museums and institutions across Southern California.
🟠 Seeing the Unseeable: Data, Design, Art
📅 On view 9/19—2/15, 2025 | Opening Reception: 9/19, 6 PM
📍 Alyce de Roulet Williamson Gallery, ArtCenter, 1700 Lida Street, Pasadena

Why AxS podcast: How to Land on a Comet
Welcome to the Why AxS podcast where brilliant scientific and artistic minds ponder the big why's that come with being a tiny part of this universe.

Ron Husband appreciation post 👏🏾 The celebrated @WaltDisneyStudios animator, trailblazing illustrator and, yes, ArtCenter faculty is behind the Disney classics you’ve watched and rewatched, from the Little Mermaid to Aladdin to Fantasia 2000.
At #ParisFashionWeek, his voice over and vision of the first cowboy kicked off @Pharrell’s Western wear collection.
Ron holds the distinction of being the first African American animator and the first African American supervising animator for Walt Disney Studios.
We got a look inside his studio, sketchbooks and classroom where he teaches an animator’s only limitation is imagination.
