This is an update of my presentation about art-science as an interdisciplinary activity, and why I like to do it, which I gave at Napier Institute for Informatics and Digital Innovation. Not very text based, so might not be coherent on it's own!

Here's a presentation which I gave recently at a FuturICT meeting about art-science as an interdisciplinary activity, and why I like to do it.

TruthTable at the Lighthouse The TruthTable is a large multitouch surface, used for accesssing and aggregating of web searches in an exploratory way. It uses social knowledge from the web to create links and associations between different ideas, and then display media relating to them, all in a playful and accessible manner. It was created as a project with Informatics at Edinburgh University, in particular Jon Oberlander and Richard Brown. A refined version (shown left), with Lisa Mackenzie and Sam Booth, was displayed as part of the Senses of Place exhibition at The Lighthouse.
