This is the question at the heart of <em>Everything Flows<\/em>, an event organised today by the Embassy of Italy in Singapore in conjunction with the Formula 1 Grand Prix. The event brought together researchers and artists to explore movement and transformation from different perspectives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In his opening remarks, <strong>Dante Brandi, Ambassador of Italy<\/strong>, highlighted the value of dialogue between science and creativity in understanding natural phenomena and the dynamics that shape the world around us. He was followed by <strong>Roberto Grilli<\/strong>, <strong>General Manager of DZ Engineering<\/strong>, who spoke about the company\u2019s role in supporting the initiative.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The theme of flow was explored through contributions from <strong>Associate Professor Gianmarco Mengaldo<\/strong> of the National University of Singapore, who illustrated the applications of fluid dynamics, from aerodynamics to weather and climate prediction; <strong>Associate Professor Voon Hui Lai<\/strong> of Nanyang Technological University, who presented the use of fibre-optic technologies to study geological and environmental processes; and artist <strong>John Leong<\/strong>, who explored the relationships between the body, materials and the environment through his artistic practice.
