The Arts and NKS: NKS at Work and Play
12:45pm, April 25, 2004, Eden Vale C

Abstract:

Scientists ask one question and make a thousand things. Artists make one thing and ask a thousand questions. Are science and art just rhymes, or are they actually about the same thing? NKS presents an intriguing possibility and context for bridging these two paths in the practice, work, and lives of scientists and artists alike. This session will explore these ideas and suggest a framework for thinking about how artists and scientists might use NKS to forge real methods and procedures for working meaningfully together.

Some of this music was really quite good, and the art as usual was striking. Also, speaking personally, these people were just plain fun. Thanks for coming.
