The relationship between art and science is incredibly important, and in my work, I've taken pleasure in trying to communicate what I have learned about science from scientists and how truth can be stranger than fiction."
Laurie Anderson
Pioneering artist and composer Laurie Anderson, using her unique style, makes complex scientific concepts accessible and engaging through art. Anderson emphasizes, "Receiving the Stephen Hawking Medal is an honor I hope one day to be worthy of. Many thanks to Starmus for creating this medal that celebrates both art and science- that is- that celebrated awareness itself. I'm overwhelmed by gratitude to all my teachers who taught me about art, music, the natural world, and love."
