Omnibus 4
Sir Ian Blatchford and Dr Tilly Blyth with their final omnibus edition exploring how science and art have inspired each other in our modern day Age of Ambivalence
Sir Ian Blatchford, Director of the Science Museum Group, and the Science Museum’s Head of Collections, Dr Tilly Blyth, with their final omnibus edition in which they draw upon key works of art, along with objects from the Science Museum Group's collection, to explore how art and science have inspired each other in our modern day Age of Ambivalence
Along the way: Ealing Films' warning on the dangers of scientific hubris in The Man in the White Suit; the Polaroid photo's scientific and artistic revolution in the taking and making of pictures; the fragile self regulating Earth in the mystical landmark TV drama Edge of Darkness; can a computer produce original art without human intervention; imaginative revelations at the very edge of our understanding as we seek to explore the nature of the cosmos.
