Moritz visited the BSC - the Barcelona Supercomputing Center - last August and had the pleasure of meeting the designers and scientists that work there. This is the second part of this interview series. His third interview partner is Marta Esteban Fernández. Marta is a visualization engineer at the BSC and handles the communication between scientists and artists. In this Nerd Rant they talk about their AI Research together. They also reflect on how different artists approach their tasks compared to scientists and how that shifted Marta's perspective on his own working methods.
