Episode Synopsis "The Event Horizon— From Imagined Science to Art Museum"

Einstein theorised a point in the universe where time, space and gravity bend. Almost 100 years later, we took a photo...a photo of something we weren’t even sure was there. Now it hangs in an art gallery. Is it really art? Come with us to edges of the universe - and back again to New York. In astrophysics, an event horizon is a boundary beyond which events cannot affect an observer. This podcast was made possible by the University of Melbourne and the Centre of Visual Art. Thanks to our guests: Margaret Wertheim and Peter Galison. Your hosts were Dr Andi Horvath and Dr Suzie Frazer, audio engineering was by Arch Cuthbertson, with production assistance by Silvi Vann-Wall. This episode was recorded on the 11th of August 2020.
