Today the Science Art Dialogue week went into class mode, at the CERN IdeaSquare, a dynamic innovation and research centre, where I gave a workshop on particle physics and data sonification, using my “analogue laptop” to shape particle collision data into expressive audio compositions. See https://ideasquare.cern/

The real highlights were Paul Thomas’ “Quantum Drawing” class, which was delivered live online, and a completely crazy tech interruption / disruption…

There was a typical zoom audio problem, but the completely crazy part was that the “tech support” came from none other than Robert Cailliau, the person who literally built the World Wide Web!!!
Never mind Tim Berners-Lee (who just came up with  the “vague but exciting” idea), Robert made this thing we call the internet. And he was quite interested in my “analogue laptop” as he used analogue computers in the 1970’s to calculate complex nonlinear systems such as global resources and population growth and decline…
