Virtual Theatrum Anatomicum

Back to work after the summer break. My first (real!) meeting of the day was at Waag to provide input for their research on the possibility of building an “Online European Public Space”". The three person meeting was held in the Theatrum Anatomicum which Waag has configured as a socially distanced meeting room, which, ironically, made me think of this work (credited to Colin Lyons), which i had come across online during my vacation:
