Every kid has a bug period and Professor Edward O Wilson says he's glad he's never grown out of his.

Anthill draws on his scientific experience, in a tale of ants, humans and the environment. 

The Saatchi New Sensations winning artist Oliver Beer has been working on his Resonance Project, in which he uses the human voice to stimulate architectural spaces to resound at their resonant frequencies.

To give a flavour of what it's like, he takes Mark and two tenors into a long underground tunnel under Hyde Park in London.
