In questo audio il prezioso incontro con Roberto Sessa produttore cinematografico e Barbara Mazzolai scienziata.L'intervista con Roberto Sessa e Barbara Mazzolai è in Contemporaneamente a cura di Mariantonietta Firmani, il podcast pensato per Artribune. In Contemporaneamente podcast trovate incontri tematici con autorevoli interpreti del contemporaneo tra arte e scienza, letteratura, storia, filosofia, architettura, cinema e molto altro. Per approfondire questioni auliche ma anche cogenti e futuribili. Dialoghi straniati per accedere a nuove letture e possibili consapevolezze dei meccanismi correnti: tra locale e globale, tra individuo e società, tra pensiero maschile e pensiero femminile, per costruire una visione ampia, profonda ed oggettiva della realtà.Roberto Sessa e Barbara Mazzolai, ci parlano di mondo vegetale e narrazione, dalla robotica bioispirata all'intrattenimento. Un incontro per comprendere delle storie in cui il pubblico si riconosce, e del tentativo di sviluppare tecnologie utili a conoscere meglio gli ecosistemi. Un film nasce da un'idea, da un racconto, ed è un modo per raccontare la cultura, tra cinema e tv la differenza è nella scelta. Ed ancora, le radici affondano nella terra e comunicano con le altre piante e con gli altri elementi del mondo circostante. Con le nuove tecnologie, negli OTT (over-the-top) televisivi, come i servizi di streaming video, si affida la costruzione della narrativa agli algoritmi. Inoltre, l'intelligenza artificiale nei robot può monitorare, ma anche produrre azioni e soluzioni. Pertanto è importante implementare azioni sostanziali per la rinaturalizzazione dell'ambiente con progetti fattivi, onnicomprensivi e pluriennali, con scienza e conoscenza, e molto altro.

Barbara Mazzolai"La natura geniale"Come e perché le piante cambieranno (e salveranno) il pianetaLonganesi Editorewww.longanesi.it«Dopo aver letto questo libro guarderete un albero con occhi nuovi, perché non c'è barriera tra tecnologia e biologia.»Telmo PievaniUn libro denso di informazioni, curiosità e scoperte.Eleonora Barbieri, il GiornaleCosa hanno da insegnarci organismi apparentemente tanto diversi da noi come una quercia, una pianta rampicante o un polpo? Quali dei loro segreti potrebbero aiutarci a costruire un futuro migliore e meno fosco di quello che oggi iniziamo a intravedere? La tecnologia sarà mai in grado di riprodurre la potenza nascosta e pulita del mondo vegetale? La risposta a tutte queste domande è racchiusa nel lavoro pionieristico della donna che ha inventato il primo robot della storia ispirato al mondo delle piante.Perfettamente adattate al loro habitat, le piante rappresentano un'alternativa evolutiva quasi speculare a quella del mondo animale: mentre uomini e animali si sono evoluti privilegiando caratteristiche legate al movimento e alla velocità, il mondo vegetale ha fatto della lentezza l'origine della propria resilienza. Se fino a ieri non avevamo dubbi su quale tra le due fosse la strategia di maggior successo, oggi qualche dubbio c'è, sollevato dalla crisi ecologica globale che abbiamo scatenato.Dal suo eccezionale osservatorio di protagonista della rivoluzione tecnologica in atto Barbara Mazzolai ci conduce, con rigore scientifico e facilità divulgativa, in un'appassionante esplorazione della Natura, tra bizzarri animali, piante dalle capacità misteriose, enigmi naturali che ancora oggi arrovellano gli scienziati. Il suo libro offre spunti e riflessioni illuminanti per capire meglio il presente, e un valido aiuto per iniziare a immaginare il futuro del nostro bel «pianeta azzurro».Barbara Mazzolai, biologa con un Dottorato di ricerca in Ingegneria dei Microsistemi e un Master Internazionale in Eco-Management alla Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna di Pisa, dirige il Centro di Micro-Biorobotica dell'Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia di Pontedera.Nel 2015 Robohub, la maggiore comunità scientifica internazionale degli esperti di robotica, l'ha inclusa tra le 25 donne più geniali del settore. Ha ricevuto prestigiosi riconoscimenti quali il Premio Marisa Bellisario e la Medaglia del Senato della Repubblica Italiana.Nell'ambito del programma europeo FET (Future and Emerging Technologies), che finanzia le idee di ricerca più visionarie, ha coordinato il progetto che ha portato alla realizzazione del Plantoide,il primo robot al mondo ispirato alle radici delle piante, con applicazioni che vanno dall'esplorazione spaziale alla microchirurgia al monitoraggio ambientale. Oggi coordina il progetto europeo GrowBot, per trasformare la natura delle piante rampicanti in tecnologie intelligenti e sostenibili.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.it

For this special science, astronomy and sci-fi themed episode of Tech's Message, we're joined by three very knowledgeable guests to discuss the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, interplanetary travel, and the science behind science fiction, based on the themes raised in Carl Sagan's book and film Contact:Dr Pamela Gay: Astrophysicist and Director of Technology and Citizen Science at the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, Director of CosmoQuest and co-host of science podcast Astronomy Cast. On Twitter at @starstryder.Veronica Belmont: Sci-fi expert and Product Manager at Growbot.io., host of Mozilla's IRL podcast and science fiction and fantasy-themed book club Sword & Laser. On Twitter at @Veronica.Tom Merritt: Sci-fi expert and author, host of Sword & Laser as well as the host of Daily Tech News Show. On Twitter at @acedtect.ContactIn a nutshell, the story of Contact focussed on a scientist named Dr Ellie Arroway, working within the SETI facility at the Arecibo Observatory, who discovers a mysterious signal apparently coming from the star system Vega. It turns out the signal is being received as a repeating set of pulses that follows an ascending pattern of prime numbers - 2 pulses, then 3, then 5, 7, 11, and so on. Within the signal was an encoded message, which ultimately translated into being schematics for an inter-stellar transport vessel.The film and the book differ on a few points but huge parts of both book and film detail the political, religious, financial, personal and existential issues surrounding first contact, and we'll discuss some of those themes across this 45-minute special episode. Along with many other topics, we discuss:Is there any consensus in the scientific community about what form any first contact might take, and is Sagan's idea of a prime number sequence containing encoded schematics a reasonable theory?What do you think would make a good candidate for being the first to speak to extraterrestrial life?What other books, films or TV shows do you think do a good job at dealing with the topic of humans meeting extraterrestrials?We've not had any proof yet that we're anything other than alone, but what exciting theories have been discussed?Do we send signals into space to try and make deliberate contact?Could we even build the machine described in Contact?The science behind The Martian, Star Trek, The Sparrow, Arrival, Red Dwarf and more.Let's assume Earth is contacted over the next few years in a way that makes it irrefutable that we're not alone in the universe. How might it play out and did Sagan's depiction seem realistic?Where might the next big discovery in cosmology come from and what might it be to do with?Bots and artificial intelligence, how good appearances of this tech in sci-fi as well as potential future applications of these systems could be seen in interstellar communication and translationWatch or buy Contact from iTunes or Amazon or

[15:53]-Diving into her audio career, shifting from behind-the-scenes work to sharing her voice and co-hosting, and the leap to video. [23:45] -Going from a super high to a super low: Veronica’s huge opportunity to host the HBO premiere of GOT, and her mistake of reading all the nasty comments about it afterward. [31:36]-“It’s okay to know yourself well enough to know when you need a change.” Veronica shares about her decision to end all her contracts and stop video work. [34:39]-On freelancing, the podcasts she continues to work on and how they’ve evolved, and her transition into Product Management. [38:53]-The importance of becoming an expert in your domain, joining Bot Makers, and Veronica’s advice to people wanting to break into a new field.
