Getting ready for the Artist-at-Sea Program The days leading up to the voyage were filled with preparations, gathering supplies, ordering materials, and planning, but the real adventure began when I arrived in Guam. The crew ofFalkor went to great lengths to orient me to the ship, making sure all my needs were met and questions … Continued
Now that the algorithms for the PLASM are set, programmer Gary Hendrick has begun to add the pH data. The first step in this process is to take a look at the data, the pH levels of ocean water collected with the Wendy Schmidt Ocean Health XPRIZE sensors off of Falkor. Lead Marine Technician Colleen … Continued
I love the saying “everything that is visible hides something else that is invisible” by artist Rene Magritte. It summarizes what both fascinates and calls to me from nature… the forces behind what we see. In many ways artists and scientists are alike, they are both creative and seeking to understand the nature of things. … Continued
Our odyssey continues both in the water, on the Falkor traveling the Pacific, and on land in Florida and Italy. Actually there are two odysseys occurring: Leslie on the ship as a photographic artist and Tez, Gary, and myself as algorithmic artists. What is algorithmic art? Algorithmic art is created by a series of step-by-step … Continued
One step at a time: that is how to approach a daunting task. The scientists onboard R/V Falkor knew the outer reaches of the Pacific Northern and Southern Hemisphere Oxygen Minimum Zones had been poorly studied. They also understood the tremendous importance of these areas, as the microbial organisms living there carry out chemical reactions … Continued
Today I present another look at my art process aboard the Falkor. This unique residency presented a fantastic opportunity to focus and also brought unexpected challenges. Overall it has been an excellent learning experience. From macrobiology to microbiology and chemistry Before this voyage, most my collaborations with marine scientists have been with biologists studying relatively … Continued
