Confluence
The Dance
Art & science forever engage in a push/pull dialog that advances creative enterprise.
The Material World
Confluence explores the enduring--and often surprising connections between three of the most essential aspects of the human experience: art, science, and creativity. A range of stories are told by a terrific array of characters, some well known like Joshua Bell, the artist Nick Cave, and the multi-Grammy winning octet Roomful of Teeth; others will be wonderful discoveries for audiences.

Season 1 Episode 102 | 56m 46s | CC
It’s not only what we make. It’s the materials we make it with that turns stuff into art. Glass is forged into playable cymbals. An array of found objects become breathtaking sculpture. Banana leaves are transformed into fabric for the haute couture runway. Immunofluorescence turns microorganisms into artworks. Folded paper informs nanotechnology for space exploration. All are part of the story.
