Students from across the School of Art, Media, and Technology (AMT) at Parsons applied their design skills to a scientific topic in Radioactive, a fall Collab course created by Illustration faculty member LAUREN REDNISS. AMT students developed a website for a New York Public Library exhibition inspired by Redniss’ new book, Radioactive: Marie & Pierre Curie—A Tale of Love and Fallout. The site combines animation, interactive book pages, and a digital tool to simulate cyanotypes, the cameraless photographic process Redniss used to create the book’s artwork. A finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize in the Science and Technology category, Radioactive chronicles the romantic and scientific partnership of the Nobel laureates and explores the ramifications of their groundbreaking discoveries.
