@article { , title = {Visualizing the invisible: Performing chaos theory}, abstract = {Edward Lorenz, a pioneering figure in the field of chaos theory, coined the phrase “butterfly effect” and posed the well-known question “Does the flap of a butterfly’s wings in Brazil set off a tornado in Texas?” In posing the question, Lorenz sought to highlight the intrinsic difficulty of predicting the long-term behavior of complex systems that are sensitive to initial conditions, for example, the weather and climate; these systems are often referred to as chaotic. Taking Lorenz’s butterfly as a starting point, the author’s science theater project Chaos Cabaret seeks to explore the nuances of chaos theory through performance and music.}, doi = {10.1162/leon\_a\_01887}, issn = {0024-094X}, issue = {3}, journal = {Leonardo}, pages = {289-293}, publicationstatus = {Published}, publisher = {Massachusetts Institute of Technology Press (MIT Press)}, url = {https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/846898}, volume = {54}, keyword = {Science Communication Unit, science theatre, chaos theory, science communication}, year = {2021}, author = {Weitkamp, Emma} }
