Signal to Noise
The Amateur Astronomers Society of Voorhees and Columbia Astronomy Public Outreach

With Emmy Catedral, Constance DeJong, Andrea Derdzinski, ray ferreira, Dominika Ksel, Sarada Rauch, and Ariana van Gelder followed by stargazing at the Rutherfurd Observatory.

In 1966, artists Robert Rauschenberg and Robert Whitman and Bell Labs engineers Billy Klüver and Fred Waldhauer established the collective Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.) with the intention of promoting collaborations between artists and scientists, thusinitiating what is now recognized as a watershed effort in nurturing new kinds of interdisciplinary exchange. In the spirit of such collaborations, The Amateur Astronomers Society of Voorhees and Columbia’s Astronomy Public Outreach program present Signal to Noise, an interdisciplinary salon centering on the topic of sounds of the solar system. A talk by a Columbia astronomer, the presentation of sound and video art pieces, and the distribution of a zine will take place in a variety of locations in Columbia’s Pupin Hall—a lecture hall, a library, and a stairwell—and will be followed by public access to the department’s observatory for stargazing. Featuring projects that simultaneously embrace, reconfigure, and trouble scientific data and technological ideals, Signal to Noise aims to create an overlapping dialogue that playfully underscores both the confluences and points of fracture between artistic and scientific perspectives.

Presented as part of the exhibition New Talent at the Wallach Art Gallery. Co-organized by Summer Ash, Emmy Catedral, and Madeline Weisburg.
