SUMMARY:Crossroads of Ideas: Memory in Motion
DESCRIPTION:Art\, Science\, and the Living Nature of Memory- featuring Viviane Silveras\, John Yin\, and hosted by Guy Thorne.\n\n\nIn this Crossroads of Ideas conversation\, we explore the dynamic life of memory through the artistic lenses of film and painting alongside the analytical lens of science. Featuring Viviane Silvera\, the University of Wisconsin–Madison Division of the Arts 2026 Artist in Residence\, the event highlights her 2025 Telly Award winning film See Memory which invites audiences to visualize a reality where abstraction\, emotion\, and evolving ideas converge. Created from more than 30\,000 hand-painted stills\, See Memory weaves together cutting-edge research and deeply personal storytelling to illuminate how memory works and how it can be reframed. \nModerated by WID researcher\, Dr. John Yin\, the discussion brings together creative practice and scientific inquiry revealing deeper perspectives on emotion\, experience\, and the mind itself. Through moving images and thoughtful dialogue\, we will consider memory not as something fixed\, but as a living process that is continually shaped by how we sense\, interpret\, and imagine. \n\n\nWatch Viviane’s film\, See Memory\, ahead of our Crossroads of Ideas discussion here: https://www.pbs.org/show/see-memory/. While not required\, viewing the film will add a wonderful layer of understanding to this event.

SUMMARY:SoundWaves: Astronomical Scale
DESCRIPTION:This academic year\, SoundWaves is exploring scales. In this final edition\, we will be zooming WAY out to the Astronomical scale!\n\n\nSoundWaves combines scientific lectures about the world with live classical music performances. Each event revolves around a theme\, exploring it first from many scientific angles and then through the lens of music. The program starts and concludes with a live performance of music related to the evening’s theme. \n\n\nOn April 24\, 2026\, SoundWaves wraps up the academic year of exploration of scale with Astronomical Scale. How can we understand the hugeness of the universe? How do we build the robotics to explore the universe? How did the ancients view the universe? And we’ll hear the out-of-this-world sounds of many French horns playing together.
