Michael Wang: Differentiation Series

Working with a cellular biologist at Harvard, Michael Wang has created micrograph images of artificially produced stem cells. These images have been hand-tinted according to a system that matches a unique color to every cell type that can be potentially produced from these undifferentiated cells. At 6 pm on Thursday, September 13, the biologist and an art historian from the university will offer distinct interpretations of the images.
