Accidental GodsMeeting the Ocean: Rekindling our deepest connections through art and science with Markus ReymannHow do we really create systemic change? How do we shift narratives towards a generative future? How do we bring artists, scientists, policy makers, educators, conservationists, journalists, and all the different siloed tribes together in ways that let them genuinely communicate and listen to the web of life? This week's guest is someone who is actively working on so many levels to change all these things. As you'll hear, Markus Reymann is a Director of a European Arts foundation, which doesn't sound nearly as exciting as it is. Because this is an arts foundation with a difference.

TBA21 on st_ageCorals: Nature, Symbiosis, and RestorationIn this podcast and thanks to Markus Reymann, director of TBA21–Academy, we dive deeper into the dramatic situation of the coral reefs to better understand Claudia Comte’s work. Marine biologists Denise Henry and David Gruber talk about corals: their importance in the ecosystem, their symbiotic relationships, and their ability to sense oncoming disasters. The notions of shape and time, and the importance of restoration—like the reef rehabilitation work developed by the Alligator Head Foundation in Port Antonio, Jamaica—become key to understanding this aquatic life-form.

Tattoos and Torah"Hovering Over The Water"Our oceans cover 71% of Earth’s surface: that’s serious presence. And yet, we mistreat them, fear their majesty, and abandon them to pollution, poison and trash.
From a spiritual perspective, when we start the book of Genesis, we read that God’s spirit floats above the water. This primordial essence, the vital part of our existence, is there: setting the stage, cradling life, and containing all of the world’s potentiality.
Here is a truth that humans do not LIVE into today: We are charged with the care of these sacred waters. There is a physic...

re:publica 17 - sub:marineSeabed Mining & Counter-Strategies of the artistic eye (en)Markus Reymann
This talk embarks from the hypothesis that deep sea mining is an anthropogenic intervention that will profoundly change the planet’s design, whilst perpetuating the exploitative culture of a hyper canibalistic extraction industry.
It will deeply affect our futures, which are closely entangled with the oceans. Seabed mining targets polymetallic nodules that are used in the production of batteries, alloys and plastic, and may well be the next gold rush. Its effects will most likely be long-term and invasive, impacting ecosystems from the microbial level to the structural constitution of the seabed in a way that we are no...
