Are Angels OK?

Bringing some of New Zealand’s top creative writers together with our physicists, Are Angels OK? has now resulted in a sci-art festival in Wellington, a collection of writing, and a tour of the UK. For more information about the project contact angel@rsnz.org.

You can listen to Radio New Zealand recordings of some of these events.

Ten New Zealand writers reexamine the laws of physics, encountering the sandpile phenomena, entropy, and the untimely death of Schrodinger’s Cat along the way. This new anthology from Victoria University Press includes writing from Catherine Chidgey, Glenn Colquhoun, Dylan Horrocks, Witi Ihimaera, Lloyd Jones, Elizabeth Knox, Margaret Mahy, Vincent O’Sullivan, Chris Price, and Jo Randerson.

The Are Angels OK? project is funded by the Smash Palace Fund, an arts-science funding programme supported by the Ministry of Research, Science and Technology and Creative New Zealand. Are Angels OK? is a collaboration between the International Institute of Modern Letters, the physicists of New Zealand , and the Royal Society of New Zealand.
