Tonight at Waag Society, Amsterdam, during the Museum Night: https://waag.org/en/event/expedition-planet-b With awesome @instagore Photos by Dinesh Basnet Imagine a place that’s a lot like Earth... We’ll call it planet B. Planet B is a place of natural beauty - unspoiled by pollution, unmonitored by satellites, untouched by the human endeavours. This exhibition at the Waag shows you how such a place might sound, feel, smell or taste. Join us on a mission and discover planet B! Reflections on space Several artists reflect on our urge to discover other planets, and the role of technology in our space expeditions. In Perihelion/Rage/secret_lover, Antti Tenetz lets bacteria train an AI (GAN) system to imagine their place among the stars. The installation provides a critical perspective beyond the techno-optimistic promises of AI. Minna Långström’s film installation project Photons of Mars depicts facilities and its workers dedicated to interplanetary research. The work reflects on how their understanding of the Martian landscape becomes more than the sum of the data derived from the photons hitting the cells of the robot’s cameras. Students from AKV/St. Joost pose similar questions. How can you recognise yourself in space data? What is our space body? 10:30-11:30 is a work that anticipates the idea that we see ourselves differently from space than we do in everyday life or through existing media. Is it possible to get to know the individual through technology? Masha Ru presents the Museum of Edible Earth, where you can explore and experience life on Earth versus life on the Moon and Mars through oral engagement with soil samples. You can guess which environment each sample connects to, either the Moon or Earth. #artabdscience #artisticresearch #Museumnight #museumnightamsterdam #Dewaag #waagsociety #earth #moon #mars #eatingearth #eatimgmoon #Amsterdam #Netherlands #Edibleclay #Exhibition #clay #eatingrocks #Ekoclay #Ekobrown #Geophagy #Interactions #museumofedibleearth #whiteearth #museumnacht #Nieuwmarkt #Klei #proeven #expo #evenement #Claycollection (at Waag Society) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4YJGo7lbBu/?igshid=5mqhth6p3efz
