Ship-to-Shore with Robertina Šebjanič
Livestream on Ocean-Archive.org and YouTube
31 August 2026 | 19:00 – 20:00
Join us for a Ship-to-Shore connection with Robertina Šebjanič, an artist on board Schmidt Ocean Institute’s research vessel Falkor (too), on August 31, 2026, live-streamed on Ocean-Archive.org at 7–8 PM CEST (ship time 1–2 PM EDT/AST).
From August 9 to September 2, 2026, artist and researcher Robertina Šebjanič is aboard the Research Vessel Falkor (too), operated by the Schmidt Ocean Institute, as an Artist-at-Sea, alongside an international scientific team conducting Seeking Salt Fingers in the Tropical Atlantic, an expedition led by Dr. Joseph Gradone and Dr. Corday Selden of Rutgers University.
Robertina Šebjanič will lead a guided journey through the R/V Falkor (too), from the main working deck to the bridge, with members of the crew and scientific team joining along the way. The tour offers an immersive glimpse into daily life at sea and the encounters between artistic research, ocean science, and life aboard a research vessel.
At the intersection of art, marine science, and technology, Šebjanič explores the rhythms, voices, and ruptures of aquatic worlds. “Through my work, I strive to reveal the deep entanglements between humans, technology, and aquatic ecosystems, and to give presence to forms of life and signals that often remain beyond our perception.”
The #SaltyStaircases expedition becomes a space for artistic research into the ocean as a dynamic, interconnected system—and into ways of sensing and imagining our coexistence with more-than-human worlds with and beyond the data.
