Confluence

CONFLUENCE explores the enduring and often surprising connections between three essential aspects of the human experience: art, science, and creativity. Throughout the three-part series, an intriguing array of scientists, researchers and artists work at the cutting edge of creativity in painting, sculpture, robotics, video games, fashion and music. Creatives such as violinist Joshua Bell, artist Nick Cave, and members of the multi-Grammy-winning vocal ensemble Roomful of Teeth take viewers behind the scenes of their process and find surprising results as they engage with both art and science.
