I loved the whole exhibition, in particular the way each grouping of artist and scientist seemed to reinforce, in quite different ways, that we are part of the world we observe, not removed but immersed - literally so in Oceanic Bliss. At least that's what I took from the moment toward the end of the video when the animated drawings of tiny aquatic life forms were superimposed over the film of the naked human - I was close to tears. (Admittedly I was fasting in preparation for a colonoscopy today so may have been unusually emotional.)
Your own words 'the pleasure of data choreography' catch beautifully the exhilaration that your work produced in me.
Thanks so much for doing this work, both of you, in these days when science is under so much attack.

Hi Lisa
Jonathan and I just spent an hour at the manly gallery and were
overwhelmed by the beauty and depth of the exhibition. But I
especially wanted to write about your work which had such lyrical
beauty while actually feeling like I was catching some of the
science. The projection in the water had many layers to be drawn
into and I loved the interweaving of thinking feeling movement. I
also loved the use of the acrylic (must find out how you did
that) and the projection onto the painting. Stunning work. Thank
you for bringing this together.

Thank you William - so good to have a sense of the life beneath and know that there are scientists spending their lives finding out more. It's such a great collaboration and I am encouraging everyone I know to go to the exhibition and talks.
