ABSTRACT: There is a class of noncompact hyperkahler 4-manifolds coming from complex Poisson surfaces. In certain cases, some moduli spaces associated to these 4-manifolds are known to assemble into a kind of universal compactification of the moduli problem, in a way that seems to be best described in terms of some deformations of the original 4-manifolds. I will give a concrete introduction to this circle of ideas using the example of R^4, and will describe both known results and some of the many questions that remain to be answered.
