I will be going to this event this evening. I'm always curious to see the results whenever art and science dance together.

PS122 hosts this deconstructive evening exploring the multiverse —
"the idea that there could be many parallel universes each with its own space and time — through the perspective of artists. A diverse panel includes Columbia philosophy professor David Z. Albert, co-creators of PS122's Terrible ThingsLisa D'Amour and Katie Pearl, and DJ Spooky among others. Our inner-nerd is pretty excited about this meeting of the artistic and scientific minds." -Chris Kompanek
