The SUPERCOLLIDER x Space for Humanity Virtual Residency wrapped up at the end of 2021. Our resident artist and scientist pairs explored intersections in space and artistic research, utilizing space for humanity’s mission of ‘making space for everybody’ as a point of inspiration to consider equitable ways of existing in space and on other planets. The teams collaborated over the course of our 6 week virtual residency and participated in dialogue with guest artists and scientists including NASA/JPL Engineer David Jefferson; Kosmica Institute; and artist Erika Blumenfeld.
The teams generated project ideas that explored their shared interests and practices and presented their projects during our final presentation with guest artists and scientists returning to join the group. Their projects explored topics as wide ranging as plants on the planet Mars, human bodies in the lava tubes of Mars, the ubiquity of plastics on our home planet and others, and well as the embodied experience of space radiation. We are so inspired by the collaboration, collective thinking, and ingenuity of our resident artist and scientists.
