Superradiance. Embodying Earth.
We're excited about our upcoming Jeffrey B. Graham Perspectives on Ocean Science Lecture — Superradiance. Embodying Earth.
Superradiance. Embodying Earth is a multiscreen video and sound installation by artists Memo Akten and Katie Peyton Hofstader that serves as a centerpiece of Birch Aquarium’s Embodied Pacific: Oceans Unseen exhibition. Inspired by conversations between the artists and Scripps researchers, this work explores the complex interactions between land, ocean and atmosphere that shape our living planet by interweaving dance, poetry, music and generative imagery with artificial intelligence. Join us for a conversation with the artists as they describe how they use art to engage us in science, evoking a visceral and intimate connection to our living planet.
