Creative Capital's On Our Radar is a searchable database featuring more than 300 projects that advanced to the second or third round in last year's highly competitive Emerging Fields, Literature and Performing Arts grant round. Although projects in On Our Radar were not ultimately funded, they still feel that these are projects to watch, and they invite the public to explore them. The site will be online until September 30, 2013.
Creative Capital supports innovative and adventurous artists across the country through funding,
counsel and career development services. Our pioneering approach—inspired by venture-capital
principles—helps artists working in all creative disciplines realize their visions and build sustainable
practices.  http://creative-capital.org/home 

In this project, panoramic photomicrographs of biological specimens that have been deliberately damaged during the imaging process are presented at trade shows organized around visualization technology research and development. The goal is to draw this audience into a discussion of imaging technology that is informed by feminist scholarship, and critical art practices.
