This keynote is an illustrated account of two collaborative projects that seeks to show that there may be an advantage to learning about the patterns that others\u0027 see when engaged in their everyday creativity.\u0026nbsp;Dr. Prophet\u0027s work includes large-scale installations, digital prints and objects. Her art reflects her interest in science, technology and landscape. Among her past projects is the award-winning website, TechnoSphere, inspired by complexity theory, landscape and artificial life. \u0026nbsp;She works across disciplines on a number of internationally acclaimed projects that have broken new ground in art, technology and science. In CELL (2002--) she collaborates with Mark d\u0027Inverno, a mathematician, and Neil Theise, a scientist whose ground-breaking research into stem cells and cell behaviour is changing the way that we understand the body. For 2005--2006 she was a NESTA Dream Time Fellow, spending a year developing her interdisciplinary collaborations. \u0026nbsp;In August 2007 she became \u0026nbsp;Professor \u0026nbsp;at Goldsmiths College, specialising in interdisciplinary research in the Computing Department. \u0026nbsp;Current works in development include Net Work, a large floating installation (comprising hundreds of illuminated buoys) and Big Plastic Tree (an artwork built by robots). \u0026nbsp;More information about her work can be found at http:\/\/www.janeprophet.com\/.\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhat might a heart surgeon and an artist have in common, how might a biomimetic engineer and an artist work differently to creatively solve a problem of structure?
