In 2011, artist-curator Selene Foster and I co-founded BAASICS (Bay Area Art & Science Interdisciplinary Collaborative Sessions), a series of San Francisco-based evening programs that bring together local visual artists, musicians, choreographers, scientists, and interdisciplinary thinkers to present engaging, multi-media lectures and performances that explore a given theme. BAASICS programs are free and open to the public. The first program took place in July 2011; the focus of the program was humanity's relationship to other species. The theme of the second BAASICS event, "BAASICS.2: The Future," to take place at ODC Theater on June 18, 2012, will be technology and notions of "the future." The roster of presenters is currently being determined, but speakers and performers will ponder, among other subjects, robotics, artificial intelligence, architectural advances, how our globalizing culture will shape technology, and dystopian versus utopian prospects.

By bringing together working artists and scientists to present their ideas and projects, we aim to foment not only interdisciplinary exchange but a new genre of experimentation that will move beyond what one of these disciplines can achieve on its own. More importantly, because these lectures and performances are free and open to the public, we hope to make the fine arts and sciences less esoteric for a general audience, thereby inspiring guests to think about how art and science relate to one another and to society at large.

Five of my watercolor drawings were included in "Art, Science, & Biodiversity...in a landscape where nothing officially exists," an event held on Saturday, February 25, 2012, at the Los Angeles Convention Center. For the exhibition/event, eight artists and one biologist collaborated to create 35 art works representing 35 endangered species living in and around southern California. The works were installed as part of "Un-Space Ground," a site-specific, outdoor visual & performance art event curated and produced by Ed Woodham, founder & director of Art in Odd Places, and Deborah Oliver, LA curator, as part of ARTspace's "Art in the Public Realm" Symposia at the College Art Association Annual Meeting.
