make data.

I want to do a very experimental project. I don't know where it's leading quite yet, but I'd like to "make data." I think the way it will start is that I am going to do a series of drawings while listening to Radio lab. As I draw, I will be inspired by the sounds I hear and ideas the broadcast shares. I will also take notes on each show. Somehow these various bits of information collected will be turned into some sort of code that produces some sort of data that somehow creates something.

There are a whole lot of somes in there. I've still got a lot of thinking to do.

radio lab drawing 1.

Hippo in ballet shoes. Taking a HUGE concept and dumbing it down to the appropriate level of acceptable stupidity.

Layers of sound to make an enriching story. They explain science as though it were a story.

Getting in the book. Love a book or story so much that a person want to be within the book physically.

Biological laughter. Being linked to other humankind biologically.

Science as entertainment takes science back to the level of third grade before it became nothing but memorization.

What would be want the aliens to know about us. A gesture more than a practical idea. Laughing babies of every species and Bach.
