SEMINAR SERIES
MARCH 2018:

BREATHE IT IN

On wind, air and lungs

Together we have been dissecting our lungs to better understand one of the mechanism of life as we know it: Oxygen. What is it? Where do we find it? And is it possible to grow oxygen on other planets? This session has investigated potentially habitable planets, how atmospheric circulation patterns might change in the future,  how these projections are represented through numerical models; musical instruments making use of wind, singing lungs, breathless and speechless events.


Together, as homo-O2, we have discovered new forms of life and what makes the asphalt and the horizon.
