AIR Spotlights

Welcome! Non Random Arts Collective

We are delighted to welcome the Non Random Arts Collective to the SETI AIR program. The collective consists of Linda O’Keeffe, Ashley James Brown, Tony Doyle, and Ines Montalvao. Together, they delve into the intersections between the arts and diverse fields such as astrophysics, genetics, urban planning, ecology, climate change, technological adaptation, AI, and design futures. Non Random’s projects have investigated cosmic changes, renewable energy technologies, climate adaptation, social inclusion in urban planning, and the soundscapes of gender and class in post-colonial contexts.

Welcome! Michael Nardone

We are extending a warm welcome to writer and editor Michael Nardone, who has joined the SETI AIR program. Never settling on a single genre, practice or mode, Nardone’s works often explore and experiment within histories of literature, techniques of embodied performance, and cultures of mediation. Formerly a postdoctoral fellow with the Research Chair in Digital Textualities at the Université de Montréal and a visiting fellow at the Center for Programs in Contemporary Writing at the University of Pennsylvania, Nardone is Media Historian at Antimodular, the research studio of artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer.

As a SETI writer-in-residence, Nardone will focus on a set of issues concerning exolinguistics, exomusicology, and the cultural politics of communications with extraterrestrial intelligence, while considering their implications for the history of the book.

Note: Michael is not part of the Cosmic Consciousness Open Call. A shortlist of this call will be released on September 3, 2024.

Scientists are getting closer in their search for life beyond earth. But with limited federal funding for the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, supporters are the reason cutting-edge scientists can keep their eyes on the sky.
