Title: Earth Without Humans

"In 2016, we launched a trilogy of dedicated events named Earth Without Humans, focusing on the phenomenology of terraforming in the renewed space race. Diverse scientific and technological discourses on sustaining life in space regularly intersected with discussions about climate change and the intensification of weather patterns on Earth.

We hosted scientists from ESA, NASA, and Roscosmos, who presented their cutting-edge research and experiments.Concurrently, we curated exhibitions featuring artworks that explored potential life forms in extreme environments. Our esteemed speakers and artists included Bernard Foing (ESA), Olga Kuteva (Roscosmos), Michael Sterzik (ESO),Christophe Lasseur (Melisa), Angelo Vermeulen, Adam Brown, Gilberto Esparza, Marko Peljhan & Karl Yerkes & Danny Bazo, architect Barbara Imhof, and many others."
