SETI Institute
A Conversation with SETI Artist in Residence Brittany Nelson Meet Brittany Nelson, our newest artist in residence! Brittany’s thought-provoking, poetic works express the curiosity, solitude, and longing that are connected to the search for Life beyond Earth.
During this SETI Live chat with SETI AIR Director Bettina Forget, Brittany will discuss how she uses 19th century photographic chemistry techniques to address themes of queer and feminist science fiction. Brittany’s latest works include a series of bromoils based on photos of the Martian landscape taken by the Opportunity rover.
She also explored technique of holography for her series Tiptree’s Dead Birds, an ephemeral recreation of the letters of the closeted lesbian science fiction writer Alice Sheldon, who wrote under the pen name James Tiptree, Jr. If you like science, support the SETI Institute!
