Savannah Romero, alongside five other winners from Northern New Mexico, clinched the STEMarts Apprenticeship award this year. Since January, apprentices have delved into various fields, including new media arts, XR technologies, 3D modeling, particle physics, astrophysics, and space science. A key objective of the program is for each apprentice to identify an area of interest to deepen their knowledge and eventually lead others in that field.

Savannah entered the program with a passion for physics, so for her the choice happened quickly. I remember Savannah from her high school days when she secured one of the prizes for Most Sustainable design in the BioMachine Challenge. Now, as a freshman at UNM Taos with aspirations to transfer to NM Tech, she finds herself perfectly aligned with her goals....click for more

For those that follow this page you may have noticed I have been quite absent here. When that happens just head over to my other website/blog, stemarts.com. It just means I have been focusing on the social and educational aspect of my art practice. But this year, I am going to be returning to this website to share my research and my process as part of the Fermilab artist residency. I am honored to have been selected, allowing me the space to dive into pure physics research once again. I visited Fermilab in 2022 which inspired me to apply.

I was at CERN finishing up Fluidic Data in 2019 when COVID hit. I am excited to be returning there next month to continue my research and ongoing collaborations. I am also looking forward to returning to my studio in Berlin to work out some new ideas that have been emerging from visits with Fermilab scientists on neutrino detectors, virtual particles and augmented reality. Thank you Georgia Schwender for curating this experience!

Call for volunteers to be VR Experience Guides for the international Space Messengers installation traveling to three festivals in the fall. Training workshop hosted at UNM-Taos HIVE on September 12, 2022.

We will install pop up STEMarts VR stations at schools and community spaces in Taos, Penasco, Questa, Espanola and Santa Fe as part of the Global VR Youth Day which allows New Mexico students to experience Space Messengers from their communities in virtual reality.

Volunteers can be teens (13+) and adults (any age!)

Volunteers will:
-Learn about the exciting world of VR/XR/metaverse.
-Get trained on how to use the Oculus Quest headsets and guide students during the event.
-Be part of the Global VR Youth Day, an international exchange program with teachers and students from NM, Portugal and Mexico joining in the VR space.
-Have fun empowering middle and high school students through art, science and technology!

La transversalité, quelle qu'elle soit, m'exalte, car seuls les grands PRO y jouent

Lorsque la science s'associe au digital, à l'éducation, à la créativité, à l'art... au voyage intercontinental et intergénérationnel, au show FIC.A - Festival Internacional de Ciência avec Catarina Pombo Nabais / Oficina Impossível et Agnes Chavez Projects
Comment pouvons-nous créer des avenirs plus humains et durables grâce à l'art, à la science et à la technologie ? L'art des nouveaux médias peut-il être utilisé pour comprendre et communiquer des concepts scientifiques? Quels sont les impacts des technologies XR/VR en tant qu'outil de créativité et d'engagement social ?
Agnès Chavez, l'artiste en résidence au SAP Lab/CFCUL - avec Catarina Pombo Nabais - a partagé ses recherches et son travail intégrant l'art, la science et la technologie comme un outil d'autonomisation et de connexion. Elle a présenté son dernier projet, Space Messengers, une installation immersive en réalité mixte qui travaille avec les jeunes des communautés rurales et urbaines du monde entier pour imaginer un avenir interplanétaire pacifique et durable.
Rendez-vous à FIC.A - Festival Internacional de Ciência en octobre prochain
