Discussion
This talk by multidisciplinary designer Sophie Falkeis, features the project “First Encounters“ - a multimedia walk-in installation – as well as the recently founded platform “The Encounters Lab“, displaying a crossdisciplinary approach to communicating scientific data through means of visual storytelling, turning empirical facts into emotional realities.
The interactive action thriller ‘Full Metal Aquatic’ was performed online on February 1st and 2nd 2022 to celebrate the launch of the Future Seas Project and to showcase the upcoming Future Seas special issue in the journal Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries. ‘Full Metal Aquatic’, written by David Finnigan and Jordan Prosser in collaboration with researchers from the Future Seas project and animated by Sacha Bryning, is set in the ocean a decade from now and takes place in two different futures – one we hope to see and one we want to prevent. It is designed to explore what our future could feasibly look like, depending on the actions we take now. Watch the video to find out the whole story!
