Royal Astronomical Society: Monthly meeting lecture and exhibition
I will be giving a joint lecture with Professor Arthur I. Miller. We will also exhibit three astronomical inspired objects that I created based on our collaboration.
Weaving the Universe - Abstract
Artists use mathematical models of black holes developed from data taken by space telescopes to give us some idea of what these mysterious objects actually look like. They have produced amazing images of objects which are impossible to perceive and enormously far away from us. But what has been missing are visual representations that evoke their frightening grandeur and the poetry behind them. Towards that goal artist Fiorella Lavado and scientist Arthur I. Miller have been working together, in an artist-scientist collaboration.
Together we explore representations of nature that go beyond scientific visualisations.

A performance piece will accompany the talk.

Jung and Pauli, a lecture for the Crucible Alumni Day
A very interesting event organised by NESTA that brought together a truly interdisciplinary group of people. NESTA is the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts.
Together with Arthur I. Miller, we presented The Strange Collaboration of Wolfgang Pauli and Carl Jung: When Physics Met Psychology. This was another version of the lecture we gave at the University of Oxford in June 2009.
The dreams of Pauli are evolving. More to come...
