Special guests joining The Evening of Angelo Vermeulen

During The Evening of Angelo Vermeulen 24 May, special guests NASA economist Alex MacDonald, curator Sarah Cook, and researchers Caroline Nevejan and Prof. Frances Brazier will be joining Vermeulen and will be exploring what it would take to live on a starship.

Designing a starship is a unique challenge. It’s a contained space that demands the need for a total physical ecosystem, but also a carefully balanced social system. Technological, biological, and social systems would have to work in harmony for such ambitious missions to succeed.

Artist and mathematician Valery Vermeulen will bring a live audio performance based on real-time radio astronomical signals.
