Are you ready to explore the connection between our inner space and the vast universe? Join us on our extraterrestrial podcast as we welcome Daniela DePaulis, an interdisciplinary artist who pushes the boundaries of what is possible by merging art with neurotechnologies. In this episode, we'll delve into her unique projects that change our perception of reality and how she uses brain activity during deep sleep to connect to outer space. Daniela is a former contemporary dancer, a licensed radio operator, and a media artist who has exhibited internationally. She is currently Artist in Residence at the SETI Institute and the Green Bank Observatory in West Virginia, where she uses state-of-the-art radio telescopes to create her projects. This is a conversation you won't want to miss as we explore the intersection of art, science and technology with Daniela DePaulis.
About the podcast guest:
Daniela de Paulis is a former contemporary dancer and a media

the Square Kilometre Array and the Mullard Radio Astronomy
Observatory in the UK, the Medicina Radio Telescope, and the
Sardinia Radio Telescope in Italy. Previously, she has been
collaborating with radio operators based at some historical
antennas, such as the Bochum Radio Observatory (DE) and the
Dwingeloo radio telescope (NL). From 2009 she has developed the
Visual Moonbounce technology, in collaboration with international
radio operators, and a series of innovative projects combining
radio technologies with live performance art and neuroscience. From
2010 to 2019, she has been collaborating with Astronomers Without
