A Pas De Deux like you have never seen before where a dancer-choreographer Alice Sheppard and a robot ‘inspired’ by Alex Reben interact to create the work.  As an introduction to robots as our avatars, Sasha Samochine of Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s Visual Operations Lab takes us through the robots JPL has trekking through the solar system, from Mars to Jupiter and we invite the audience to imagine the ways technology reflects our humanity and interrogates it.   

Samochine will demonstrate how her AR and VR creations allow scientists in collaboration with their robots to explore the unknown! Learn about the tech used to discover new worlds and propel humanity into the very outer-reaches of everything we’ve ever known.
