On today's episode, part two of two, we continue our conversation with Laura Andriani on performing Paganini in a new way. Centuries after Paganini died, our fascination with his presence and impact endures. Precise measurements and musical intuition meet the speculative nature of artistic practice, research in the arts and sciences, and their connections to science fiction - approaching the boundaries of human knowledge and our fascination with the unknown.
