On Truth and Beauty

This video is a conversation between theoretical physicist, Janna Levin and writer, Johnathan Lethem about the metaphorical language of Truth and Beauty. I stumbled upon this video through Seed Magazine about a year after Todd Bartel, (one of my artist teachers in grad school) sent me a link to an NPR interview with Janna Levin about her book A Madman Dreams of Turing Machines. He saw a connection between the concepts discussed in the book and interview to the ideas and issues that I was dealing with to a large part in my work. So too, I believe that the concepts and issues discussed in the video are issues that every artist and writer deal with and could benefit from hearing.
