Theme: Order and Chaos

This event occurred on
March 24, 2016
North Bergen, New Jersey
United States

Our world is dictated by chaos and imperfect harmony. Chaos is essential, it is primeval, and it is the state to which everything will return. Yet, from chaos, order spontaneously occurs. The connection between the two represents a fascinating interplay - one that we would like to explore in greater depth, from the world of creative human expression to the scientific and mathematical laws that govern the cosmos. We want to explore the role that order and chaos play on the smaller scale, in our own lives.
