Lewis Wolpert in conversation with Charles Arsène-Henry

12 Sep 2009

Speakers: Charles Arsène-Henry, Lewis Wolpert

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.

Charles Arsène-Henry talks to Lewis Wolpert about innovating new means of thinking in a modern society, the incapacities of uninhibited language and consciousness to express our infinite universe, and the depths to which we could, and should, take the knowledge available.
