CCAM Ultra Space Symposium: Closing: Living In Space

The Spring 2023 CCAM Ultra Space Symposium takes up earthly reference frames for understanding the body in space. Inspired by the work of Arakawa and Gins, we consider the body as a part of its architectural surroundings. As part of the symposium, join us for the closing panel “Living In Space,” featuring: Ariel Ekblaw (Founder + Director, MIT Space Exploration Initiative + Co-Founder + CEO, Aurelia Institute), Dana Karwas, Viktoria Modesta (bionic pop artist, creative director + body architect), + moderated by Harshita Nedunuri (CCAM Ultra Space Research Fellow).

As part of the symposium, join us for a live performance “Composition in Frozen Time” by Konrad Kaczmarek (Associate Professor Adjunct of Music, Yale University). The new composition is inspired by this quote from György Ligeti: “I favor musical forms that are less process-like and more object-like. Music as frozen time, as an object is an imaginary space that is evoked in our imagination through music itself.”

The Spring 2023 CCAM Ultra Space Symposium takes up earthly reference frames for understanding the body in space. Inspired by the work of Arakawa and Gins, we consider the body as a part of its architectural surroundings. As part of the symposium, join us for the Manipulations Workshop, featuring: Dana Karwas (Director, CCAM + Critic, Yale School of Architecture), Sarah Oppenheimer (Critic, Yale School of Art), and Alvin Ashiatey (CCAM/Yale School of Art Postgraduate Fellow). What offsets exists betteen perceived space and projected space? What is that space in between? What feedback can be used to navigate and connect these two spaces? Using the motion capture system at CCAM, the workshop will investigate these questions and more by building and solving the “puzzle creature,” a hands-on puzzle that exists in two spaces at once.

What do you do when you find an alien? How do we know what to look for? What is the possibility of the first contact being a machine? What does it mean if we recognize a technosignautre on another planet? What is a technosignature, anyway? How is the present limiting our own thinking? How do we communicate with what we find?
