Since 2014, Lily Hibberd has been exploring the cosmos through collaborative and community-focused projects. She skillfully blends painting, performance, and multimedia to explore the intersection of time, memory, and cosmic themes.

Florian Voggeneder, as a crew member and mission photographer of the elite analogue astronaut group for AMADEE-18, has fully immersed himself in the simulation of life and science on Mars. His photographs strikingly present the veracity of an analogue space mission, devoid of artificial staging.

In the context of highly technologically driven simulations, we will explore how both artists reinterpret and transform traditional genres such as landscape and portrait. We will also discover how they employ artistic creativity to craft illusions and narratives that challenge our perceptions. Lily Hibberd and Florian Voggeneder will guide us through their works, unveiling the conceptual approaches and innovative techniques they use to bring their artistic visions to life. Moreover, the dialogue will feature a thought-provoking discussion on gender dynamics within the fields of art and science.

Mark your calendars for Cosmic Dialogue #2: From Pixels to Cosmos: The Art of Simulating Landscapes. Join us in celebrating the convergence of art and science and be inspired by new ways of thinking.
