Rubisco Stars SETI Molecules and The Paradox of Scale

UCLA Art | Sci Center & Lab Lunchtime Lecture

Location: CNSI Auditorium

In the 1980s, poetic and philosophical implications of the serious, scientific search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) helped to inspire pioneering work in a new field of molecular biology art. This presentation will draw together ideas about radio, lasers, genetics, sculpture, mathematics, natural language, history and the nature of discovery itself.
