Artist Conversation: Art / Science / Music / Math

Watch the lively conversation between visiting artist Kelsey Brookes and composer Allen Anderson about the intersections of art, science, music, and math that took place on March 31, 2023 at the Ackland Art Museum. Brookes is a former scientist whose work One Pointed Attention 2 (2014), a large-scale painting based on the Fibonacci sequence, is on loan to the Ackland through the Art Bridges Collection Loan Partnership program through May 2023. Anderson’s compositions are often multimedia and interdisciplinary, responding to artworks or the natural environment. In addition to the spoken conversation, Anderson debuted a short musical composition written in response to Brookes’s painting on view in the Ackland’s galleries.
