Juan-Pablo Correa-Baena was featured in Georgia Tech's Art Exhibit at Hartsfield-Jackson Airport in Atlanta. In Glaring Through the Sun, Correa-Baena brings his research in solar energy materials into an artistic context, using scientific data to explore how emerging energy systems shape environmental futures. Corre-Baena was one of many researchers from the Institute to contribute to the installation.

This exhibition showcases the groundbreaking work of artists and researchers at Georgia Tech who merge science, technology, and design to reimagine traditional notions of movement, materiality, and meaning. From AI-powered dance and robotic percussion to parametric textiles and plastic wastes, each piece explores movement in a physical, digital, and cultural way as a catalyst for transformation. Featuring eight creative projects, Transport | Transform | Transcend invites travelers to reflect on innovation not just as a journey of emergence, but as a pathway to empathy, sustainability, and creative collaboration. Investigating the limitations and potential of technology, these works challenge us to see technology not only as a tool, but as a partner in shaping more inclusive and imaginative futures. 

Whether it is dancing, bicycling, making music, designing, engineering, or thinking about the transportation of data and humans, Georgia Tech is creating new innovations that help question and power the future of technology and creativity. Artists and Researchers who make up this exhibit are Georgia Tech researchers, Brian Magerko, Milka Trajkova, Henrik von Coler, Gil Weinberg, Lisa Marks, Hyojin Kwon, Ashutosh Dhekne, Daniel Phelps, and Juan-Pablo Correa-Baena, and Georgia State University researcher, Jeremy Bolen.
