In this edition of SETI AIR News we feature Julie-Michèle Morin, one of our Cosmic Consciousness Residency recipients, whose technofeminist research into robotics and theatre challenges conventional narratives around machines and performance. Also - a big shout-out to our AIR Lucy Walker, who won another Emmy (more info below)!
As always, make sure to catch up on our SETI AIR's news and events.
Clear skies,

Artist Spotlight
Julie-Michèle Morin
Julie-Michèle Morin is currently writing a thesis on robotics and theatre at the University of Montreal (Canada) and the University of Antwerp (Belgium) in the French Literature and the Intermedial Theatre departments. Loving tinkering, hacking, disobedience, objects, machines, and benevolence, Julie-Michèle takes great pleasure in crafting manifestos and hacking (often from the outside) devices. As an artist-researcher, researcher in the arts, or research-artist, this person relies on a technofeminist approach to reflect on the issues raised by the encounter between performing arts and scientific and technological cultures. Julie-Michèle is also a theatre critic and cultural reporter working with an essayistic approach as a literary media.
Julie-Michèle Morin, together with Daniela Brill Estrada and Bart Kuipers, is the recipient of the Cosmic Consciousness Literature and Poetry residency.

Dreams of Biogenesis: A Conversation with Artist Jennifer Willet
July 3, 2025
2:30 pm PDT / 5:30 pm EDT
How does life begin? This intriguing question touches on science, philosophy, and the imagination. Artist and INCUBATOR Art Lab Director Jennifer Willet created an artwork that visualizes the theories of SETI Institute Drake Award recipients Dr. David Deamer and Dr. John Baross. Willet’s work, Dreams of Biogenesis, imagines the birth of life on our planet as a reverie of molecules, cells, micro and multicellular organisms assembling and evolving under unique environmental conditions.

Scientists are getting closer in their search for life beyond earth. But with limited federal funding for the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, supporters are the reason cutting-edge scientists can keep their eyes on the sky.
