The beauty of Science

This movie (thanks to James C for the link), made my long-weekend. It is all about context;  placing reductive observations about the world in a greater context so as to add to their beauty. You could also apply this to social and cultural phenomena; being able to place fellow humans in a empathetic cultural contexts, beyond the reductive world of consumer choice and taste. The beauty of the Digital Humanities is that the digital exits within the beauty of the human condition.
