The ethnographic film project BLURRED VISIONS investigates practices of visualisation in electron microscopy. Following a nano physicist throughout an experiment, the project looks at how a mundane substance, graphene, is made invisible through exfoliation, just to be made visible again through light and electron microscopy. In other words, it's a film about the (in)visibilities of experimentation, different ways of seeing, and the transformation of matter into knowledge. BLURRED VISIONS (2022) was made by Andrea Heisse, Jamina Trapp, Antonia Winkler, in collaboration with Research Group Physics of Nanostructured Materials during the Ma course "Visual Ethnographies of Science", taught at the Department of Science and Technology Studies (STS) and the Department of Cultural and Social Anthropology (KSA) of the University of Vienna. The course was taught by Sarah Davies and Sanderien Verstappen, with tutoring of Viktoria Paar.
