writing reconciling science and culture

I meant to call to mention the book review in last
weekend's (the week before this last weekend) Globe
and Mail. I don't even recall the name of the book
now, which was panned, but the point of the book
was to show how science and art/culture can be
reconciled. As I recall the reviewer said the book
failed to deal with the scientific belief that
everything can be measured. Scientific belief, I
wouldn't have thought I would be able to put those
two words together in the same sentence.

Generally I find artwork that puts tech high on
its list of priorities to be missing something
else, the cultural part. I don't find that for the
Embryogenesis work, which is more complicated,
certainly in terms of the presentation on the web,
which is afterall a most cross-disciplinary medium.
certainly.
