This item focuses on work at the National Research Council
of Canada's Vancouver location, but it is an initiative
that is important to the organization as a whole. It may
seem odd to hire artists to work at an institution
dominated by scientists and researchers, but the NRC's
artist-in-residence program is expected to benefit both
artists and scientists. The interaction between them finds
a focus in their common desire to discover new ways of
seeing, and pushes their bounds by helping them see new
things. By Stephen Strauss, Globe and Mail, January 29,
