whatistheperfectexperiment?

I ran an extraordinary workshop at the Maxwell Centre - what makes a perfect experiment? only extraordinary because of the participants - I had been thinking about a workshop I run at Camberwell with art students around trying to create an equation based on the idea of finishedness - attempting to define when a piece of work is finished. It was interesting to note that often the science students used imagery to make sense of the problem and communicate complex ideas.  In terms of concerns there were many parallels around the idea of satisfaction and a need to collaborate with people alongside the idea of flow and beauty. Before the session many people told me that scientists would be unable to undertake the task but the session was great because, as ever the students were interested in working with ideas.
