SETI Live with Brittany Nelson: I Can’t Make You Love Me



Brittany Nelson’s thought-provoking, poetic works express the curiosity, solitude, and longing that are connected to the search for life beyond Earth. During her residency at the SETI AIR program, Brittany has shot photos and video at the Hat Creek Observatory’s Allen Telescope Array, visited the SETI Institute’s headquarters, and interviewed many of our scientists, including Jill Tarter. This research inspired a rich, enigmatic body of new work that interweaves with the narrative strands of her previous œuvre. In our most recent SETI Live, we chat about Brittany’s new exhibition, her experiences at the ATA, and screen excerpts of her video “I can’t make you love me.”
