CCE scientists Mark Ohman and Sven Gastauer collaborated with Claudine Arendt, a creative visionary artist, on two very unique art exhibitions currently at UCSD. They are part of the ‘Embodied Pacific‘ exhibition, which in turn is a component of the Getty ‘Pacific Standard Time (PST) Art: Art and Science Collide’ exhibits across Southern California. Both are related to the Zooglider, an underwater robot used in CCE research, which can sense plankton optically and acoustically.

A film crew is producing a special for PBS about some of the PST exhibits, including Claudine’s Zooware at Geisel Library and sculptures currently at the Birch Aquarium, which is supposed to air in 2025!
