February 2020 to present: I am part of the trans-disciplinary and international round table for the Human Space Program, initiated by space philosopher Frank White, author of ”The Overview Effect: Space Exploration and Human Evolution”. The weekly online discussions gather thinkers from the scientific and cultural fields to build a wider discourse around the Overview Effect.

January 2015 to present: I am a regular contributor for the Wow! Signal Podcast, a series of conversations on speculative science and culture, initiated by NASA engineer Paul Carr in 2012. I record podcasts about Art, Science, SETI and Society (http://www.wowsignalpodcast.com/).

The program was in collaboration with 1^st Mile Institute, Santa Fe (http://www.1st-mile.com/).

January 2012 – 2018 In 2012 I initiated ASTROARTS, the first international, online cultural platform of Astronomers Without Borders. For almost ten years, AstroArts featured creative works inspired by astronomy. AstroArts was an international initiative – lead by professionals working in the arts and science fields.

2007 – 2014: I realized the video installations for ‘STILL’, ‘FACE ON’ and ‘NO END’, a series of works by British choreographer Anna Krzystek, informed by the poetic resonance of WAITING (http://www.annakrzystek.com/).
