Resonating Worlds: Art, Science, and the Soundscapes of Discovery 

By introducing artists to science and research institutions, sci-art collaborations are establishing new perspectives and interdisciplinary approaches, and artistic work is contributing to scientific inquiry. In this talk, musician and sound artist Sam Nester introduces his work and how it has led to collaborative projects with institutions in the USA, Europe, and the UAE. His Plastic Record project captures coral reef soundscapes in the Arabian Gulf during a climate crisis, creating HDPE discs from ocean plastic to play the recordings. Through Transposon, Nester transforms human genome data into sound and visuals in collaboration with NYU Abu Dhabi bioinformaticians.
