DESCRIPTION:I started a business with a vision to have no vision and where
  everything I wanted to explore was at odds with almost everyone I knew.  
 As a scientist my first hire was an artist and over the years we have disc
 overed that art combined with science approaches nature.   Recently I have
  started to question whether a business can have a gender and what would t
 hat mean.  My talk tells the story of my journey from one creative world t
 o another and will be full of live demos\, what could possibly go wrong.\n
 \nAt Novalia\, *Kate Stone* and her team use ordinary printing presses to 
 manufacture interactive electronics\, which combine touch-sensitive ink te
 chnology and printed circuits into unique and cost-effective products. At 
 Novalia\, Stone says: "The work of my team and myself is the realization o
 f my childhood fascinations. We put electronics into paper\, and paper is 
 all around us." Stone sees herself as a "creative scientist\," blending ar
 t and science to create startling fusions of new and old technology. In ad
 dition to her work with Novalia\, Stone is on the advisory board of Lifebo
 at\, a think tank dedicated to solving the ethical challenges brought abou
 t by scientific advances.\n
