5 Things: Free Screening at Museum of Science; and Menino Having Surgery

Also on Saturday is the 10th annual Sweet Chariot Music Festival at the Theodore Parker Church.

 

  1. Tonight there are two free screenings of "Sentient", an original production created by artists in the Studio for Interrelated Media's Art and Science Immersive Media course at the Museum of Science. Throughout the spring 2013 semester, students have been exploring topics of scientific inquiry and expressing their curiosities and understandings in visual, auditory, and performative modes. In less than five months these students collaborated on all aspects of storytelling, concept development, sound design, dome video production, and public relations to create an immersive environment exploring the creative, perceptive, and unexplored mind. Two free screenings at 6 and 7 p.m., at the Charles Hayden Planetarium, Museum of Science, 1 Science Park, Boston. Seating is limited and no late seating once the program starts.
  2. Boston Mayor Thomas Menino will be undergoing surgery to reduce the size of his prostate on Friday. Men older than 40 should talk to their doctors about their prostate.
