Daniel E. Kelm has a keen interest in the history of chemistry and is an avid collector of chemical and physical apparatus.

He re-creates historical scientific experiments and lab environments, and offers services as a consultant to museums creating videos and installations. He may also be engaged to provide a demonstration and lecture in a public venue.

Poetic Science offers a way of being in the world that celebrates relationship and connection. It crystallizes a broad approach that I have developed in my life and work. By combining the perspectives of art and science it moves to unify what is commonly thought of as separate. Through this fusion of body and mind, heart and head, matter and spirit, we are able to enter into a more intimate relationship with materials. And, having learned to distinguish their characteristic rhythms, ask them each to lend their unique personalities to the expressiveness of our work.
