BBC World News - Artsnight, Martha Lane Fox on Art and Science

Martha Lane Fox explores how the west's two cultures - science and arts - work together.

Magazine arts show. Entrepreneur and digital champion Martha Lane Fox explores how the west's two cultures - science and arts - can work together.

Half a century ago, scientist and novelist CP Snow announced there were two cultures in the West - science and the arts. Entrepreneur and digital champion Martha Lane Fox is a passionate believer that science and arts can work together - and are already doing so. For her episode of Artsnight, Martha talks to four people who blow apart Snow's theory. American visionary architect Charles Jencks, who has created a garden that celebrates the latest discoveries in cosmology; Experimental novelist David Mitchell, author of Cloud Atlas, whose latest novel evolved on Twitter; Godmother of Virtual Reality, California-based Nonny de la Pena, who is pioneering a new form of journalism that aims to place viewers within news stories; and IT pioneer and art lover Dame Stephanie Shirley.
