Exploring Exoplanets
Join us from Monday, July 29th to Friday, August 2nd, at Huset Copenhagen for "Exploring Exoplanets," an immersive exhibition and event series that seamlessly intertwines art and science. Presented in conjunction with the conference “Are We a Unique Species on a Unique Planet” at the University of Copenhagen, this event is independently open to the public and free of charge.
"Exploring Exoplanets" stems from the research of Pieter Steyaert, who works on how artistic practices can benefit natural sciences, specifically exoplanet research. The exhibition showcases a limited collection of artworks, including portraits of exoplanet scientists, textile designs, photographs, and video installations.
Beyond the exhibition, we offer a series of engaging activities. Experience the cosmos through guided meditation sessions, enjoy a blend of humor and astrophysics with improv comedy from Improv Comedy Copenhagen, and learn to creatively represent complex data in our data visualization workshops. Additionally, immerse yourself in the life of an exoplanet explorer during our interactive role-playing afternoon. And on wednesday morning we host educational activities for kids.
Among the facilitators of these activities are astronomers Anja Andersen and Sven Kiefer, educational scientists Jesper Bruun and Oriel Marshall, space architect and biologist Angelo Vermeulen and astronomer and artist Jo Verwohlt.
We look forward to welcoming you to Huset Copenhagen for this inspiring event. For more information visit https://exploringexoplanets.eu.
