“Cacophony of a collaboration” (2020)

Cacophony of a collaboration (2020)

This piece was the result of a 10-day experience, the Artist at Sea Residency of the Schmidt Ocean Institute. I had the honor of joining a team of scientists while they conducted research on autonomous robots in hydrothermal vents in the depths of Costa Rica. During that time, I was able to work with clay on the ship Falkor itself, engage in extensive conversations with scientists, and be part of their team meetings and scientific endeavors. I observed the fascinating process of these early stages, a cacophony of collaboration and ideas. Additionally, I had a life-changing experience: I was able to work with clay collected at 1741m below the sea surface.

Process: "Artist at Sea Residency"

In this talk given at a Biogeoart Project symposium, I reflect on my process of research and creation at the Schmidt Ocean Institute’s Artist-at-Sea residency.

These are blogs I wrote while I was in the residency and that reflect on the experience.
