Nelly Ben Hayoun - Stepanian
Extraterrestrial gardening
This masterclass investigates the mechanics of experiential practice in space missions as a creative framework for space education and outreach. Students are tasked to speculate together on gardening experiences and shapes we might encounter in other planets.
She will explain the challenges she faces in her own practice, trying to defy and design in the gravity of the hyperreal, a world where fiction is as truthful as reality. In this passionate keynote, she will share the complexity of her large-scale projects («I am not a Monster», «The International Space Orchestra», «Disaster Playground» and the «University of the Underground») and introduce members of the public to her «hammering and total bombardment» philosophy.
