This thesis is an investigation into the visualization of cosmological propositions associated with string theory. Research into the work of contemporary theoretical physics led to the question, how does one visualize what cannot be seen? The imperceptible nature of the hypothetical propositions of string theory opened up an exploration into what forms in the past have been given to invisible structures and what kinds of methods have been used to visualize them? My artistic research looks at some of the methodologies and methods used by artists and scientists to visualize structures that can't be seen by the naked eye. I present a series of examples that reflect some of the direct and indirect methods used to instantiate invisible structures in the arts and the sciences. These examples configure an eclectic atlas of visualizations that evidence the use of drawing, indexing and simulation to reveal imperceptible structures that are physical, temporal, recorded and invented. It considers some of the visual shifts in the interpretations of other cosmological models and the impact technological advances have had on the visualization of the micro-cosmos. It traces some of the connections linking visualization practices in the arts and sciences and highlights the importance of inference and imagination in the visualization of what can't be seen. My conclusion indicates that there are many ways to visualize what lies beyond the naked eye but that all involve human agency. The findings point to the role tacit knowledge and context play in the fabrication of visualizations of invisible structures. It highlights the historical specificity of visualization practices and the importance aesthetics play in both the arts and sciences. I conclude that to visualize invisible structures is to weave an intricate web of fact and fiction. But the elaboration of these visualizations can facilitate understanding and offer insights into otherwise imperceptible phenomena.
