Charles Lindsay is the director of SETI AIR, the artists in residence program at the SETI Institute, and Jon Jenkins is a principal researcher at NASA's Kepler and TESS missions, surveying for habitable planets beyond our solar system.

Both will present projects created at SETI AIR such as SOMNIUM, a device that turn data from the Kepler Space Telescope into sound. Together they will tell us about the latest progress on the search for exoplanets and the role of artists in facilitating communication when contact is made.

This session will be chaired by Adam Katz, creative director of Imprint Projects agency and, until recently, organizer of the music and technology festival Moogfest (USA).
