*> **Lily Hibberd, *Artist (Australia - France) // *"**La planète Vénus - à sonder, à rêver, à connaître" (Venus:
probing, dreaming, knowing)*//
What we call the evening star is a planet. A planet that
rotates in the opposite direction to all the others in our
solar system and on which we find many volcanoes bearing the
names of women since in 1979 the international astronomical
union decided to name the topographical features of Venus
after historical figures or feminine mythology.
Venus is central to the creation mythologies of nearly every
known civilization on our planet. Venus was also the limit
of the initial space missions. It was found to resemble
Earth, not only in size, but also in composition and shape.
These are some of the reasons why it is popularized as our
"sister" planet although we could not live there.
Since 2021, Lily Hibberd has explored more than 100 sites on
the surface of Venus, and the history of their female
counterparts, through painted scenes. These eerily detailed
landscapes are inspired by images known as synthetic
aperture radar (SAR) taken by NASA's Mariner 10 and
Messenger spacecraft in 1974 and 2007.
In this LASER Paris Meeting, Lily Hibberd invites us to an
encounter with Venus in this double dimension: our twin
planet which could teach us things about the Earth and about
ourselves and a strange world populated by women.
>Alice Le Gall, planetologist, researcher at the
University Versailles Saint-Quentin, at the LATMOS -
Laboratoire ATmosphères et Observations Spatiales
(Laboratory for Space Observations and Atmospheres)
//"Titan démasqué : Portrait d’un satellite sous les
brumes" (Titan unmasked: Portrait of a satellite
through the mist)
Titan seems straight out of a science fiction novel with its
clouds of methane and its lakes of hydrocarbons.
Initiated in 1988 from projects dating back to 1982, the
Cassini-Huyghens mission, launched in 1997, saw the Cassini
orbiter arrive around Titan in 2004 and the Huygens lander
land in 2005. The mission, completed in 2017, opened a
window on this celestial body which allowed a set of
discoveries and knowledge but also the emergence of many
other questions.
Alice Le Gall will lift the veil of Titan for us. Saturn's
largest moon, it is the only satellite in the solar system
to have a dense atmosphere. Under a thick envelope of mist
and at a temperature of -180°C, the surface of Titan,
revealed by RADAR, is home to giant dunes, hydrocarbon
lakes, mountains and rivers.
The landscapes of this frozen world are strangely familiar
and raise questions about our origins and the possibility of
a life elsewhere.
*>**Dominique Genty**, *geologist, paleoclimatologist,
Research Director at the CNRS, EPOC laboratory, University
of Bordeaux // *"Spéléothèmes : archives des climats passés
et outil de datation des cultures préhistoriques"
(Speleothems: archives of past climates and tool for dating
prehistorical cultures"**//*
Drop by drop, limestone concretions grow at the bottom of
the caves. Layer after layer, they capture, even more
acuratly than the glaciers, the traces and the history of
the planet, its climate, the activity of those who populated
it, human and non-human.
Major climatic cycles of the order of 100,000 years, rapid
millennial climate variations, abrupt events, the study of
speleothems can thus reveal in a spectacular way the
evolution of the climate of the past millennia, making it
possible to inform the present as well as provide a precise
dating of the occupation of the Grotte Chauvet or other
prehistoric sites.
Through a few examples, Dominique Genty invites us on a
journey where he will show how information is extracted from
speleothems, making it possible to reconstruct the evolution
of the climate with great temporal precision, then the
archaeological interest of these objects which have made it
possible to date , for example, the oldest known
construction in the world, before addressing the aesthetic
aspect of these scientific objects, available in
high-resolution photographs, cyanotypes and daguerreotypes.
*>**Guillemette Legrand**, *designer et artiste (Germany - France) // *"Remaillages
planétaires et interpolations cosmologiques : les limites et
les possibles de la représentation du climat" (**Planetary remeshings and cosmological interpolations: the
limits and possibilities of climate representation)*
The "Blue Marble", image of the Earth photographed in 1972
by the crew of the Apollo 17 Mission, has turned red in the
IPCC models.
In this new research project, Guillemette Legrand questions
the limitations of describing the Earth as a system and of
volumetric modeling as the only possibilities for dealing
with the climate crisis.
It explores the conflicting realities of the Earth as a
biochemical substrate, its simulation and the world(s) that
emerge(s) from it by mobilizing the technological apparatus
that detects and models the Earth.
Her hypothesis is that by using the cosmogram (a description
of a cosmology) as a research tool, it is possible both to
examine the technological system as it exists and also to
recompose a new theory and practice of climatic
representation. The project seeks to create a space in which
other disciplines can intervene, other scales can be created
and multiple representations can co-exist.
Through a technical and conceptual narration of this
algorithmic process, this presentation questions what is
created, deformed and lost and speculates on other ways of
thinking about planetary remeshing through an artistic
investigation.

Programme created by Leonardo/ISAST (www.leonardo.info),
LASER (Leonardo Art Science Evening Rendez-vous,
www.leonardo.info/laser) is a sharing of experiences around
art-science projects in semi-formal meetings, outside the
institutional framework.
LASER Paris of March 30th 2023 is organised by
*Leonardo/Olats* in partnership with the *Cité
internationale des arts* and *La Diagonale Paris-Saclay.*
LASER Paris"Planetary Portraits" is part of
/More-Than-Planet/ project, an international cooperation
project between Stichting Waag Society (NL), lead partner,
Zavod Projekt Atol (SI), Ars Electronica (AT), Digital Art
International ART2M (FR), Northern Photographic Centre (FI)
and Leonardo/Olats (FR). Co-funded by the European Union.
