Oratory gestures
5:30 p.m. Lecture Hall A, Vari Hall, York University. At the Art Meets Science Plenary Lectures, Martha tranduces the gestures of the scientists propounding the virtues of the new Hadron Collider. Arms round, body incurved around an invisible pulsing sphere. Head down. Whole body emphatically punctuating the words of the scientists claiming access to the deepest truths of nature. The mimicry is comical. Alice is happy we’re home. Cloud and drizzle today. Deep chills rumble through town.
