This isn’t usually a place for reporting art openings, but the exhibit opening today in the University’s Hartnett Gallery is by an artist who “uses custom software to interpret and represent the genetic sequences of various bird species, illustrating the similarities in the data despite the visual and morphological differences between the birds.” The artist will be speaking at 4 in the Gowen Room and the opening reception will be at 5 in the Hartnett Gallery in Wilson Commons. I’ll probably head over at around 5:30, so drop by my lab if you’d like to walk over with me.
