While speakers on stage at TED 2011 in Long Beach, CA are sharing their latest research and insights, visitors to GE’s Innovation Gallery at the conference are seeing data visualizations on energy and electric vehicles, new technologies on display, and some eye-popping art that gives an insider’s view on some everyday objects — from typewriters and accordions to bats and blowfish.
The stunning series of images below were taken by notable X-ray photographer Nick Veasey. The display highlights GE’s FlashPad, which is a wireless digital detector that can be used on multiple GE digital X-ray systems, such as a fixed one in a doctor’s office or an FDA 510k pending mobile version.
As more healthcare providers switch from traditional film to digital xrays, FlashPad’s design provides up to eight percent more coverage for key applications and maintains high image quality at low dose levels. All of which is great for the future of technology and design, but the photographs — which reveal the inner beauty of everyday objects and natural forms — are strictly for entertainment. Enjoy!
