​Capturant les vérités scientifiques avec humour, nous offrons une collection de 8 œuvres d’images des extrêmes de la science, et des notions impossibles. 

Ces tableaux entournent la science dans la plaisanterie, et sont en même temps plutôt soutenues par les théories du temps, l’espace, et matière.

Par exemple, la « Conversion de pensée en matière » à l’air ridicule.  La théorie de la relativité d’Einstein, E = mc2 note que l’énergie peut être convertie en matière ; que l’énergie et la matière sont interchangeables.  Aussi, la plupart de ce que nous voyons autours de nous sont des créations des humains.  Le mûr, la rue, vos vêtements, même ces mots… tout était une pensée, une idée, qui a été réalisée sous forme physique par des êtres-humains.  La conversion de pensée en matière est encore plus réelle et vivante que ne le remarque la science.

Une distorsion temporelle de 2 secondes à la périphérie d'un trou noir, à un grossissement de 4 000 000 X.  Cette image était délicate à prendre. J'ai failli faire tomber la caméra.

Technology and Business
The UK government, when it was functional back in 2015, instigated a national assessment of strengths and potentials in UK research and enterprise in emerging technological fields.  The purpose was to assess the nation's global positioning of future technology strengths, to inform extensive government investment in research and technology, and to navigate and steer priorities and investments of businesses, investors and the public sector.
Matt Smart led the management and co-ordination of the consortium of organisations which produced the national report for Oxfordshire.  The consortium included the European Space Agency, UK leads on quantum engineering technologies, on satellite observation and data, and on self-drive car technology, the UK Atomic Energy Authority, the national Hydrology Centre, global construction firms and medicine and biotech firms, Airbus, intellectual property and investment experts, and the national Science and Technology Facilities Council, and several others.  Matt was a lead author of the final report to government, which then informed government investment strategy (when the UK government could still understand and co-ordinate anything).  The then Minister, Jo Johnson, was the government minister with oversight of the process.  (Jo left government in order to distance himself from his greedy egotistical philandering ambitiously dishonest clown-and-not-in-a-funny-way brother.)  The overall national process and the resultant reports were called 'Science and innovation audits'.  The purpose was to help local and regional areas to map their research and innovation strengths and identify areas of potential global competitive advantage, and to inform government spending priorities in an increasingly competitive world where many nations were emerging as technological giants with huge capacity for research and business investment.
The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) invited consortia, formed around geographic and technological themes, to apply to be involved in the science and innovation audit (SIA) process. These consortia were made up of businesses, universities, research and innovation organisations, Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) and their equivalents in the devolved administrations. 
Matt Smart led this process for Oxfordshire, with links into other parts of the UK.  Such technology and innovation knowledge continues to inspire his work, particularly the emotional communication methods of the creative process.  Science and technology can frame questions and create answers, but it takes kindness and will to put the best solutions into practice.  These are emotional aspects of societal development and cohesion.  Science may be 'why', and 'how', and 'whether' we live.  The arts are why we live.
