[SETI = Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence] Lindsay’s art embraces technology to explore concepts about deep time and human perception. From the Stone Age to NASA Ames, culminating in the current collaborative relationship between Lindsay and SU Shaoyu, this talk will deliver broad spectrum information and a sneak look at the interactive “CLOUD” sculpture which Lindsay and SU are developing for the first Shenzhen Biennale, opening May, 2018. Lindsay and SU debuted their first collaborative work “Wind Tunnel: the Hongshan Experiment” in the Today Art Museum “.zip” show, Summer, 2017.
