Charles Arsene-Henry in conversation with Mark Lythgoe

12 Sep 2009

Speakers: Mark Lythgoe, Charles Arsène-Henry

On 12 September 2009, The Roundhouse in Chalk Farm hosted The Long Conversation, a 12-hour relay discussion involving twenty different speakers spanning science, art, business, technology, literature and philosophy. The series was inspired by Jem Finer’s 1000-year piece of music Longplayer – performed, simultaneously, elsewhere in the building.

Mark Lythgoe talks to Charles Arsène-Henry about his varied career, exploring his journey from factory-worker to neuroscientist and artist. Comparing the unique excitement of standing on top of a mountain to discovering some scientific novelty, Lythgoe explains his work exploring the capacities and hidden recesses of the brain.
