In 2010 Scientist Andrew Constableexplains what he means by modelling and challenges me to "make a scientific model attractive to people through art". I start on this animation as a joke, a play on words: I will be an artist's model in a scientist's model of the world. At this point I am driven by pure feeling, groping in the dark to understand complex forces described by scientists. I cannot visualise what I do not understand. More than feelings are needed. I also need to think scientifically and work with more scientists and artists.
