This year I was invited by the Waddenacademie to give a lecture about my research, but with a twist: first I attended the play "Bambie is Back!" ("Oefeningen in het rekken van tijd"), and then I tried to make connections along the themes of time, the finite, and the infinite. Following my talk, myself and the actors/creators of the play engaged with the audience about these themes and the parallels between artistic and scientific creativity.
The trip to Terschelling also involved a tour of the various art installations, including a giant "geluidsspiegel" (see image top left) where one could stand and listen to the song birds in the polder below.
