Fear and loathing in six panels.
TED Fellow Lucy McRae is a body architect — she imagines ways to merge biology and technology in our own bodies. In this visually stunning talk, she shows her work, from clothes that recreate the body’s insides for a music video with pop-star Robyn, to a pill that, when swallowed, lets you sweat perfume. Trained as a classical ballerina and architect, Lucy McRae is fascinated by the human body, and how it can be shaped by technology.

What if Leonardo da Vinci designed the Large Hadron Collider?
Leonardo da Vinci may have been a forward-thinking engineer, but what if he had gotten into the particle physics game? CERN researcher Dr. Sergio Cittolin brought out his (not so) inner Renaissance Man with these illustrations of the Large Hadron Collider in Leonardo’s style.
Cittolin works on the Compact Muon Solenoid detector, one of the LHC’s two particle physics detectors. He actually started drawing these Leonardo-style renderings of the CMS detector long before the LHC was ever operational, and they now hang on the CERN hallways. He blends modern technology with Renaissance concepts, such as rendering large quantities of data as endless stacks of books.
