    A digital 'New Wild'

    The scientific imagination is now profoundly digital in a way that owes much to Turing, Von Nuemann and the first days of scientific computing. The growing science of complexity and 'emergence' in natural systems merely adds to this sense of a new lens through which to view nature. We can now begin to simulate and analyse patterns in nature with the concept of ‘algorithms’ and ‘systems’ as something intrinsic to nature itself (see Stephen Wolfram's 'A New Kind of Science' or Mitchell Waldrop's book 'Complexity'). It is only through computers that we are able to view nature this way, because only computers can ‘capture’ the complexity that we try to describe with elementary or complex program

    Science and Art Twilight at The Royal Society of Chemistry [Event]

    Last Friday we had the honour of exhibiting at ‘Science and Art Twilight’ at Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) in Burlington House alongside some stand-out organisations such as the National Gallery, the Royal Astronomical Society, Science and Engineering in Arts, Heritage and Archaeology, Royal Veterinary College, King's College London, Royal Institution, Institute of Physics, Royal Veterinary College, University of Kent, Discovery Planet and many more. This event was a huge success as it brought together a diverse range of scientists, educators and interdisciplinary artists. We drew in a good crowd as we had an enormous screen where were we were able to showcase a larger selection of the g
