RADARANATOMICUM
CURATED BY KATY WIEDEMANN AND JENNIFER Z PAXTON
(£25, BIG PICTURE PRESS, IN ASSOCIATION WITH
WELLCOME COLLECTION)This is a museum quite
unlike any other. The
incredible world of the
human body is displayed in
print across six ‘galleries’.
A favourite page of mine
shows the bust of a woman
with a diamond-shaped section of skin
cut away from her abdomen, revealing
the wonder of the urinary system
underneath. The Cardiovascular and
Respiratory Systems gallery features a
detailed dissection of the heart, where I
can identify the valves, open and closed.
The lub-dub, lub-dub of each heartbeat is
almost echoed in the turning of the large,
thick pages.
This is a book I would be proud to put
on my coffee table. I can imagine inviting
guests to sit, step inside the Anatomicum
and choose their favourite image after
much consideration. Just be careful – no
food or drink near the museum, please.WHAT I’ MR E A D I N G

AVAIL ABLE VIA S TE AM, ON MAC & PCIf you love a whodunnit, try out a game
called Her Story. It’s not a traditional
video game. You don’t shoot anyone,
smash anything up or jump on any
turtles, instead, Her Story mimics an old
police computer that you search through
to investigate a cold case. You use
search terms, like ‘murder’ to dig up old
interrogation footage of live actors and
piece together a story told out of order.
The trick is to identify what’s important,
and what’s not, and use your guile to
recreate the timeline of events. The
beauty of this formula is that every player
enjoys a different experience.
In Telling Lies, Her Story’s creator
Sam Barlow expands on this format,
replacing the police computer with an
NSA database that the player uses to
spy on four characters embroiled in a
deadly incident. This time, the game has
bigger scope, recognisable actors and
more drama. It’s a thrilling experiment in
story-telling that pays off and invites you
