Anyone who says science/maths and art don’t go together is an idiot. Duh, otherwise how did The Da Vinci Code work? Dan Brown totes owes his success to old mate Leo (and maybe to the various groups he manages to offend in the novel, but that’s a discussion for another article).

I guess old mate Brown’s not the best example of how science and art go together. A better one would be The Absence of Alice, a series of exhibitions by Svenja Kratz. The Absence of Alice and the bone gardens is the seventh instance of Kratz’s series, exploring cycles of life and death and the complex relationships between humans and other organisms through sculpture and a other new media works, which incorporate a variety of living, preserved and transformed organisms. These works reflect on Kratz’s experiences working within the area of cell and tissue culture.

Robert Langdon’s got nothing on Kratz – see what The Absence of Alice is all about on Tuesday night.
