Nelly Ben Hayoun-Stepanian is a designer of experiences and founder of the Underground University. "I wasn't set up to meet with any Nobel Prize winners in Physics. I'm not set up to meet with any astronaut. But I don't give up. It's not about stopping with one astronaut. There are 250 astronauts, so you just have to email 250 astronauts until one of them says yes." The post 111. Nelly Ben Hayoun – Designer of Experiences appeared first on MTF Labs.
An audio essay that reflects on our conversations at the 70th International Astronautical Congress in Washington DC. In this episode, Joseph Popper and Sitraka Rakotoniaina explore what diversity can mean at the largest gathering of the space industry. We speak to artists, designers, engineers and anthropologists who share their experiences of the congress and tell us about their different practices. From the conversations, we learn that outer space exploration demands multicultural and multidisciplinary approaches, in action and in attitude. Thanks to our interviewees, Tamara Alvarez, Nelly Ben Hayoun, Sands Fish, Barbara Imhof, Prathima Muniyappa, Ufuoma Ovienmhada, Angelo Vermeulen and Chris Welch, for sharing their thoughts with us.

Ep #26: This week we are talking about designing the impossible, with Dr. Nelly Ben Hyoun, founder and experience designer of Nelly Ben Hayoun Studios in London. They create large scale, extreme experiences like being an astronaut, or erupting volcanos, or recreating natural disasters, for organizations as diverse as Nasa, the European Space Agency, Google, Mattel, Nike, Lego, the list goes on and on. So designing impossible things is just part of every day for Nelly and her teams — and even though it sounds kind of wonderful and magical, maybe the end result is magical but the process is what she calls Brutal. And for her, that is a critical aspect of anything that is good design - there has to be contention or friction in creating something meaningful, what you get from a plurality of thinking, through a multi-disciplinary team.Besides creating magnificent experiences at Nelly Ben Hayoun Studios, she’s also founded the University of the Underground in London, created an international Space Orchestra, recently completed a feature film about political theorist Hannah Arendt, she’s currently a Visiting Professor at the Royal College of Art, and that’s just a few of the things she’s up to. And next up, she’ll be working on becoming a mermaid…FROM THE SHOWThe beautiful song “Mermaids" by Nick Cave & the Bad SeedsHannah Arendt Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) taught political science and philosophy at The New School for Social Research in New York and the University of Chicago, widely acclaimed as a brilliant and original thinker, and author.The Human Condition, by Hannah Arendt Thinking Without a Banister: Essays in Understandingby Hannah ArendtNelly Ben Hayoun - Films (from ImDB)I am (not) a monster (Documentary) 2019 Disaster Playground (Documentary) 2015 The International Space Orchestra (Documentary) 2013The sport of being a mermaidYes it’s true - swimming like a mermaid is an 'extreme sport.’ You’re welcome.Follow Nellyhttps://twitter.com/weareNBHstudioshttps://twitter.com/NellyBenHayounConnect with UX Cake!Twitter Facebook Instagram www.uxcake.coYou can now support the future of the UX Cake podcast and be a part of the UX Cake community at Patreon.com/uxcake See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Cymene and Dominic are back and borderline alert for 2019. They recently watched the first half of Netflix’s Bird Box and speculate as to whether the alleged “Bird Box challenge” is further evidence of the doom of our species. Then (16:00) we welcome Icelandic anthropological legend Gísli Palsson to the podcast to talk about his latest book project, Down to Earth: A Memoir, a wonderful discussion of human beings and their relationship with earthquakes, stones and lava. We begin with the 1973 volcanic eruption that indelibly impacted Gísli's life as it destroyed his childhood home and buried his town in ash like an Icelandic Pompeii. We talk about homes and habitats both specific and global, the need for a new geosocial contract, the vitality of rocks, life as geolubricant, and the return to premodernist thinking as we confront that volcano in our living room, the Anthropocene. Gísli tells us about some of the amazing volcano projects artists like Nelly Ben Hayoun are undertaking these days. And we close on geological intimacy, necessary optimism and whether we humans are becoming petrified, even fossilized.

Nelly Ben Hayoun is a designer of experiences. Sometimes called the "Willy Wonka of Design and Science" or “Part designer, part performance artist, part space traveller”, Nelly and her team are known for transcending boundaries. They create orchestras together with NASA space scientists, put dark energy in your kitchen sink or create places such as The University of the Underground, Nelly's latest venture that teaches critical thinking, unconventional research and social dreaming to post-graduate students. At her studio in London, Nelly told me more about how it all came about and what it means to design an experience.
