BASF - Vision+Light: Extending the Senses

As we seek to describe our world, we are always inventing new ways to push the boundaries of what we can experience: smaller, farther, fainter, quieter, louder. During two evening events, explore exhibits of multimedia artwork, microscopy, music and sculpture created by artists and scientists seeing the world in new ways.  Examine the beautiful minute universe with cutting-edge microscopes, feed a robot and fold some origami with a master, and join in fascinating conversations on image, technology, creativity and inspiration.

Vision + Light is presented in partnership with Science@Cal, the Bay Area Science Festival, Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute, and the Berkeley Brain Microscopy Innovation Center. This event was made possible through support by ZEISS.
