#88 - Antarctica Series 11: Patricia Suchy and Vince LiCata
b'
Today\'s episode features 2 storytellers - Drs Patricia Suchy and Vince LiCata. They\'re both professors at Louisiana State University (LSU), Trish in the Department of Communication and Vince in the Department of Biology. Together they collaborated on a project communicating science through performance art, called "Persistence of Vision: Antarctica", and the end result is an immersive video installation using video portraits of modern day scientists in historical locations. That\'s a really succinct way of explaining this complex and amazing project but I don\'t want to understate how awesome this project is and how much I want to see it for myself! The locations were based off of photos by Herbert Ponting, and I start the episode with a very brief history of Antarctic exploration and then we talk about their project, their time in Antarctica, and how the idea came together. Enjoy!
