The arts and humanities have been officially invited into the professional space explorers’ global meeting place - The International Astronautical Congress. Artists, thinkers and writers will contribute to debates about going back to the Moon and on to Mars, living in space, art in zero gravity, the future of the International Space Station, and the search for life and human origins in scientific missions.
Less Remote features presentations by Tomas Saraceno, Agnes Meyer-Brandis, Marko Peljhan, Zbigniew Oksuita, Rachel Armstrong, Andy Miah, Sarah Jane Pell, Nina Czegledy, Lowry Burgess and many other key contemporary figures who have worked either with space agencies or in the space context recently.
Registering for Less Remote also gets you free access to the International Astronautical Congress, excluding the technical sessions. If you are an IAC delegate, you get into Less Remote free. This is your chance to join the new dialogue and exchange between the cultural and space professional communities.
We look forward to meeting you at Less Remote, the most inspiring and wide-reaching interdisciplinary conference of the year!
