Visual artist and PhD Rosell Meseguer will present several projects she has been developing over the past 25 years, exploring the intersection of art, technology, and science. She will discuss her long-term project “Battery of Ashes. Methodology of the Defence”, an archive focused on the iconography of bunkers and the use of rocks and metals in their construction; the “OVNI Archive”, which examines the impact of the Cold War on resource utilization; and her project “Rare Earths”, which includes the creation of a vademecum of all elements from the periodic table.
