OVERVIEW
During this talk, we will look at some satellite imagery from Dr. Priyanka Das Rajkakati, a French aerospace engineer and space artist, who incorporates them into her beautiful paintings and digital imagery. We will talk to Natasha Pauli about how she’s using art to engage community and talk to Marji Puotinen.
This event will be live streamed around the world. It will be opened by Chief Scientist of WA, Peter Klinken, and is supported by the French Embassy.
Creativity is an integral part of science and essential part of science. Priyanka and others will talk about how they use artistic creativity in science to communicate complex scientific ideas to engage community and to work towards a two-way exchange of knowledge.
Priyanka has been sponsored by the French Embassy to come to Australia to talk about the integration of art and science. She’s an aerospace engineer with a foot very firmly in both art and science. When she left school, she was accepted into space engineering but also the top design school in Paris. Her art is being sent into space, and to the moon, and she’s been invited to create a piece for the 2024 United Nations Climate Change Conference. Priyanka lives in France but is from Assam, India. She uses art as a way to engage community and communicate science.
