Abstract
This chapter examines the confluence of art and science in a collaborative project between an artist, Janet Biggs, and two scientists, Jason Eriksen and Jokūbas Žiburkus. The project delves into memory loss and Alzheimer’s disease for Biggs’ 2015 exhibition at the Blaffer Museum of Art.
Nature is a temple in which living pillars
Sometimes give voice to confused words
Man passes there through forests of symbols
Which look at him with understanding eyes
Like prolonged echoes mingling in the distance
In a deep and tenebrous unity,
Vast as the dark of night and as the light of day,
Charles Baudelaire, Les Fleurs du Mal, 1857
