Featuring a diverse selection of works representing the convergence of art and science, Connectivity explores the underlying threads of connection found in natural, social, and technological systems. Exploring the overt and indiscernible links among complex levels of organic life, the works presented in Connectivity visually articulate concepts of intersection and mapping and how we envision our place in a broader context—from the micro to macro worlds.
