Let’s Begin…
Science writer Margaret Wertheim re-creates the creatures of the coral reefs using a technique invented by a mathematician -- simultaneously celebrating the amazements of the reef and deep-diving into the hyperbolic underpinnings of coral creation.
As they got into the project, Wertheim and her sister began doing workshops and lectures in the cities where they were exhibiting, in order to teach people how to make their own “local” reefs. What value, if any, do you think this adds to the project?
