70 percent of the Earth is covered by the sea and 95 percent of its habitat is located in the volume between the sea floor and the water surface. Nevertheless, it is the most unknown part of the world and exploring it is often compared to venturing into outer space. But for a few years now, thanks to technological progress, this has been changing: diving robots are collecting more and more data, which are then fed into AI systems. Every dive brings new answers, but also questions, and to follow up on these, engineers and scientists have to work closely together to develop new devices from scratch. Michaela Vieser talks to experts who are exploring this place.

Fertile Void

The workshop “Quantum World Building" led by Michaela Vieser will engage participants in exploring the laws of the quantum world through looking at parallel presences, tangible and intangible worlds that cross distances of light-years. We will go beyond the safe space of certainty and hopefully find portals for stories that enable us to bring something back from these explorations. The session includes a guided walk, awareness exercises, writing prompts and discussions and will allow time for thoughtful reflection and creative writing.
