I’m thrilled to be participating in the Languages of the Future conference at the Institute of Advanced Studies of the University College London in the program Material Poetics of the Future.
I’ll be presenting my think piece On Becoming Aliens: Towards a Cross-Sensory Universal Language for Extra-Terrestrial Communication, which explores alternative approaches to finding a common language with extraterrestrials—potentially the most significant new language the future holds.
I developed this piece as part of my research for the project Exoplanetary Poetry, which I’m currently conducting with Daniela Brill Estrada and Julie-Michèle Morin as part of the Cosmic Consciousness residency of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) institute.
