other "culture professionals" together with space and planetary 
scientists can exchange ideas and projects about planetary 
consciousness from the perspective of their unique backgrounds, 
education and experiences

. provide a meeting place where space, art and environmental 
projects can emerge and new teams and partnerships can be built

the event
