WONDERLAND: Final Film Launched

By SHOWstudio, 12:18 Mon 30 Jun 2008

If you weren't glued to your screen for our live shoot in March, here's your chance to relive the wonder of 'Wonderland'. Model Alice Dellal, biodegradable polymers and several tons of H2O take centre stage as Professor Helen Storey's creations get their first (and last) outing, under the watchful lens of Nick Knight. The resulting film, documenting the 'underwater fireworks' of Helen's once-in-a-lifetime collection is now available to view as fitting memorial to this remarkable project.

I bet there are scientists all over the world looking at this and checking out the chemistry.
I would love to read from some one outside of Helen storeys' world wether the science mentioned during the film is good science and is it new and exciting , because for the rest of us it is just words.
Any polymer chemists out there?

The sound track was written by the chemist Professor Tony Ryan who is the VC of the sciences at Sheffield University.( and my collaborator on the Wonderland project) The film has caused a storm in the science world, as it's been played at science conferences and to all the faculties of science at the University. The reason I guess is a mixture of two things - the words describe what is happening at a molecular level as the suit disappears and secondly, scientists are always looking for new and novel ways to get their complex world understood by the public. what we hope we have managed to do, is to bring the accuracy of the science and the beauty of it in action , together. Hopefully bringing two disciplines who are normally keep separate, closer together by creating a work inspired by both. If it raises curiousity alone, it will have worked !
