micro research salons on the last Thursday of each month (and occasional other dates) for local and international researchers to gather to discuss common research themes and endeavour.
Calendar: April 30th 8PM: ALMA Project. Fata Morgana and Other Optical Phenomenons [with Connie Mendoza] ///// ALMA Project is a cartographic exercise within time travel, through physics and through mental landscapes, investigating the notion of time and the breach between Sci-Tech and an intimate experience of time. ALMA is the acronym of Atacama Large Millimeter Array, an observatory under construction in the north of Chile, near my place of birth in the Atacama Desert. Chuquicamata is a village where workers and engineering technicians of the open pit copper mine lived in the middle of the desert. ALMA Project. Fata Morgana and Other Optical Phenomenons is the launch pad for this time travel. Copper and technological progress are intimately connected worldwide. In the Chilean context these connections have even more impact on the recent political and economical history and the psychological state of the population.
