Chaos is that beautiful concept that anyone who understands physics believes that the universe exists. If you remember, I hosted Kate before on Slo Mo,  which was a wonderful conversation in which she mentioned she'd been collaborating with a Nobel Prize winning physicist in analyzing chaos from an art and science point of view to reach the conclusion that we're all connected. I almost fainted - I love physics, I admire chaos, and I couldn't be more convinced that we're all connected. I had to speak to them. This is Part 2.

Kate Daudy is a visual artist and writer based in London and is recognized for her work exploring and re-evaluating the human experience in the context of the natural world. Known for her written interventions in public and private spaces, Kate's work is based on an ancient Chinese literati practice.

Sir Kostya Novoselov is a physicist best known for his groundbreaking experiments on graphene, the strongest and thinnest material in existence. The material consists of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice. The achievement earned Professors Andre Geim and Kostya Novoselov the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010.

In Part 2, listen as we discuss:

• From where does inspiration for art come?
• Realizing ideas into a language we can all understand.
• How do we embrace chaos? Believe in it.
• Resilience is the ability to sway with things, not control them.
• More complexity leads to more simplicity.
• Impermanence.
• Because of chaos and everything breaking down, eventually we'll all be merged.
