Exquisite Corpse of Science

I’m inviting everyone to send me an electronic image of a sketch, picture, or painting (and explanatory sound file if they like) that sums up for them what is important in science today.
The pictures follow a minimum prescribed format that will allow me to join them into a single (hopefully very large) Exquisite Corpse (after the Surrealist technique). I’ll display the result on-line and also in 3D in Second Life.
I’m only partly tongue-in-cheek billing this as the biggest sci-art project in history, as the picture could, in theory, grow and connect for ever (almost).
If you’d like to take part and/or know others who might be interested, please follow the link to my blog post on the project
The example that my colleagues and I at Imperial College worked on, and which is the inspiration for the project, is presented as a video at the end of the post.
Cheers
Tim

In summary, it’s off the ground, but the curve’s not quite gone asymptotic yet!
