Scientifically Speaking with Irene Moon

Scientifically Speaking with Irene Moon developed around 1997 to elevate entomology as a rock genre. Under the name we have proceeded in creating multimedia environments, organizations, happenings, and music about or inspiried by insects.

The natural sciences are a perfect art; idealized and often misinterpreted by the public. The Begonia Society installations, happenings, and films introduces chaos and decadence into this assumed sterile realm challenging our impression of science, progress and its symbols and stereotypes. Moon herself is a working entomologist presently employed at North Carolina State University. She has the duel focus to advance appreciation of art in the halls of science; as a means of connecting the public to entomlogy and increasing awareness of the art and creativity intrinsic to the scientific process.
