This episode examines the dialectical and/or reciprocal relations between science and myth, as explored by an artist, a curator, and a molecular biologist.

From neural networks to the World Wide Web, connectivity abounds. Branching patterns of complex configurations transmit and store impulses of information in the brain's living data bank.

Invoking physics and mathematics as scientific influences for the revolution in art that took place in the early 20th century, our guests discuss the realities behind appearances, the fourth dimension in time and space and the nature of simultaneity.

In an age of bio-technology and bio-engineering, the divide between nature and culture is becoming increasingly osmotic. Archeology meets DNA analysis, genes are bought and sold and urbanization is looked at as an aspect of manipulating nature.

How do museum collections, like the mind, generate dreams? This episode explores the materialist self through neurocultural enhancements, information storage and "the seven sins of memory."

Should artists be allowed in the lab? These three are not stopping to ask permission! Besides, can't artists bring a new perspective to bio-practice? Adam Zaretsky is an artist/researcher who has worked at both MIT's Arnold Demain Laboratory.

Laura Lindgren, Allan Ludwig and Pete Mauro join host Suzanne Anker for this discussion of representations of the mortal coil among the "formaldehyde photography set," on gravestones, and elsewhere.

n the first of this stimulating new series considering a new definition of "nature," Suzanne Anker hosts a discussion of the quickly falling boundaries between art and science, especially in regard to genetics.
