Simon Periton

What does it mean to "look at" something?   Do an artist and a scientist look at a sunset in the same way?  Jay Elwes talks to the artist Simon Periton, whose work includes the installations in the new Farringdon Crossrail station.  Simon explains how he looks for ideas in everyday objects, taking inspiration from windows, leaves and even empty tin cans.Producer: Chris Ledgard

John Mather

How do different people look at the world around them? Do a scientist and an artist see a sunset the same way?  In the first of two programmes, we meet the Nobel prize winning astrophysicist, John Mather.  Dr Mather is the Senior Project Scientist on the James Webb Space Telescope, the successor to the Hubble.  He talks to the journalist Jay Elwes about the "telescope of the imagination", and how technology can help us look back through space and time to picture our universe in its early days.Producer: Chris Ledgard
