New Center for Human Imagination at UCSD

Visual Arts professor Sheldon Brown will become director of the newly established Arthur C. Clarke Center for Human Imagination . “The Clarke Center will be a focal point for active collaboration on current and future research and an intersection of disciplines for the purpose of identifying and advancing creative and innovative solutions for the challenges of contemporary and future societies,” said Vice Chancellor Sandra Brown.

This is so interesting as the Calit2 seems to come from this subject from the science angle and now this new center will come at  innovation from the artistic angle.  Wouldn't it be interesting if they actually spoke to each other!
