Music From Space: Where Science Meets Art

This talk by Leonardo Barilaro, pianist, composer and aerospace engineer, explores the intersection of science and art, transcending cultural barriers to bring people closer to the marvels of space. Dr Barilaro will showcase his compositions sent to the International Space Station (ISS) and streamed back to Earth; he will discuss the science related to this endeavour, including his ASTROBEAT project which addresses space debris risks and explores new artistic frontiers. With this NYUAD Institute presentation, Dr Barilaro aims to inspire and raise awareness about space exploration and its potential for human civilisation, highlighting the power of collaboration, creativity, and the boundless potential of science and art.
