The Jeffrey B. Graham Perspectives on Ocean Science Lecture Series returns to Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego with a three part speaker series that provides an in-depth look at the art-science collaborations that gave rise to Birch Aquarium’s "Embodied Pacific: Oceans Unseen" exhibition beginning with Superradiance. Embodying Earth. by artists Memo Akten and Katie Peyton Hofstadter. 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. Seating is limited and lectures often sell out, so advanced registration is strongly recommended.
