Description
I set out to uncover the mysterious origins to the expression, Get Off On The Wrong Foot, rooted in superstition. Moreover, I ruminate on the interface of art and science, and the blurring of this boundary line. I talk with two astoundingly smart researchers in the field of human-computer interaction, Microsoft Software Engineer Sunny Zhang (MSc) and University of Calgary PhD Candidate Brennan Jones, about the influence of art in their scientific endeavours and the synergism between science, art, logic and beauty.
