Join Swati Ravi, a Physics PhD candidate at the MIT Kavli Institute for a conversation around List Projects 34: Brittany Nelson. This lecture connects Brittany Nelson’s artistic practices inspired by space exploration with scientific methods used to study black holes, highlighting the shared roles of imagination, inference, and uncertainty in making the unseen legible. From faint telescope signatures to speculative cosmic narratives, it explores how instruments and creative processes mediate our understanding of the universe, and how meaning, emotion, and structure are drawn from ambiguous, indirect signals across vast distances.
