Can our future lie in the oceans? A philosophical reflexion on solutions for our world and our time (in French).
You might have missed this major step from the United Nations earlier this summer (2017).
Traveling can give new points of view on our world, and also on ourselves. Thomas Pesquet just spent 196 days in space, here’s an amazing video staging his thoughts from the ISS when about to get home (in English and French).

Here’s loads of French radio! A poetic voyage into the abyss of our world, an exploration of music written about the sea, and an essay about sea and sailors in the lyrical world.
The Ocean Mapping Expedition is conducting an acoustic mapping of the oceans never made on that scale before. I’ll be on board as an artist only, to try and make this mission visible under a new light through my work. When the expedition kicked off two years ago, these major changes in funding future oceanic research may not have been yet expected, but they make this work even more important now. Please support!!

Remember the bloop (in English), (re)discover the blob (in French).
