The Frankenstein GRID
Stanford's very own monster of modern science.
The outdoor monument stands as a 20ft tall 30ft wide lattice of laser beams among the trees on Stanford's campus. The structure honors the 200th anniversary of Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus' (1818).
GRID features the work of over twenty-five artists both local and international exploring the intersection of art and science. Several of the pieces involve ongoing scientific research. Video and audio compositions immerse the viewer through a surround sound environment and water screen projection.
**Bring blankets to recline and enjoy!**
Some highlights: womb audio recording; 'microbiome selfies'; footage of the first cross-kingdom cell fusion (ongoing research); the sound of a computer learning to sound like other machines.
