The Loaded Tangent

The Loaded Tangent is an ongoing, freewheeling and digressive exploration of the idea-space where arts & culture meets science & technology.

It’s also an excuse to champion great writers, artists and scientists, and to investigate the areas of common ground that unite them, with special attention to insight, discovery and imagination.

The hope is to create a network of enlightening connections between themes, subjects, eras, ideas and people, in the spirit of boundless inter-disciplinary enquiry.

Writer Mike Hodgkinson has contributed to a variety of magazines, websites and newspapers including The Independent on Sunday, Eureka, iTunes, Esquire, Arena, The New Musical Express and The Guardian.
