The Newton Journey
from Ink to Digital
Reflections:
Now, what was once private has become
radically public. Since January 2008,
The Newton Project has published online
over four million words of transcribed
text, about 60% of which is made up of
Newton’s religious writings. These are
important documents in global intellectual
history, and they are published in full, with
accompanying images of the originals, for
the first time.
Jack Klaff
Angel & Royal Hotel, Grantham
Ticket: £4
Duration: 1hr
An Arty Type Among the Boffins. Jack
Klaff’s time in a think-tank. A lectureperformance full of surprising, funny and
provocative insights regarding Science,
Technology and the Two Cultures.
Reflections:
Jack Klaff, with his tale-telling and in his
interactions with the audience, returns to
capitalise on relationships he established
during the Gravity Fields Festival in 2012,
still inspired by Isaac Newton to be poetic
as well as scientific, to weave rather than
unweave rainbows, to build ‘not walls but
bridges’.
