Ulrike Kuchner and astronomical spectra

From 28 November 2014 until 18 January 2015, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Santiago in Chile will display the exhibition “Bajo Presión” — Under Pressure. Eight international artists will present works that reflect the condition of contemporary society. One of these artist is the Austrian astronomer and visual artist Ulrike Kuchner.

In this picture she appears during an earlier exhibition, in front of calibration spectral data from ESO’s telescopes in Chile.
