FREE ARTICLE: THE TREE, THE SPIRAL AND THE WEB OF LIFE, BY JOANA  
RICOU AND JOHN ARCHIE POLLOCK
Abstract: The authors created the Spiral of Life as a new, accessible  
symbol for the evolution of life. This novel visual interpretation of  
evolution challenges traditional tenets of the field in light of  
emerging new themes in research. The Spiral brings recent principles  
to the general public and also provides scientists with a new visual  
concept to support further discussion. The Spiral emerged from the  
combination of the analysis of the latest scientific research with an  
artistic process to create new images and icons. A resulting  
complementary series of artworks was installed in five cultural  
institutions and museums in Pittsburgh, PA. (This article is  
published in Leonardo 45:1, 2012 and available to read for free on  
the MIT Press web site.) Read the article
