UCLA Art|Sci center + lab presents:
“Rubisco Stars, SETI Molecules and the Paradox of Scale”
Joe Davis, MIT; Daniëlle Hofmans, Center for Art and Genomics, Amsterdam; Ashley Clark, Massachusetts College of Art

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.
