The world is full of light. Only some of it we see with our eyes. Some we feel with our skin, some passes through us carrying the signal of a radio station or the early universe. Much of the colour we see comes from resonance within atoms, like notes from a musical instrument. What can we learn about life from nature’s music ? http://www.findingpatterns.info/writings/brightness.html Geraldine Cox is an award winning artist who originally trained in physics before studying painting. Since 2011 she has been working at the Imperial College London, Department of Physics on her project ‘Finding Patterns’ which searches for new ways to communicate our knowledge to more minds. Finding Patterns is a unique experiment that explores the expressive power of art to share so much of Nature that is hidden from the view of everyday life. http://www.findingpatterns.info/ Geraldine is recipient of multiple awards that include two Arts Council Awards and the Leverhulme Trust Artist in Residence Award. In 2013 the Imagine Science Film Festival selected two of her short films for screening in New York. Other recent exhibitions include ‘Beyond Ourselves’ ‘Poems about Light’. Geraldine works in varied media: drawing, painting, writing and film through to large scale installations, and illustrated talks... This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
