yasminers
here is a proposed discussion topic; there is much interest on how humans
function in extreme environments
that differ significantly from the environments that humans developed in:
see for instance:
https://serc.carleton.edu/microbelife/extreme/environments.html
extreme environments range from confined spaces ( prisons, antarctica,
submarines)
to outer space, to inside nuclear power stations ....to extreme
temperatures..to
as part of this the question of how creativity and human cognition is
modified by extreme environments
arises. This is a question that crosses many disciplines,
Yasminers who have ideas on these questions are encouraged to submit to the
discussion list
we are particularly interested in testimonials from artists and others who
have worked in or
for extreme environments
My personal work on this is outlined below:
Roger Malina
We are working on a project about creativity in extreme environments,
specifically focusing on the work of space artists:
both artists who have been in zero gravity and created artworks or
performances in space, and artists who have worked with
astronauts who have flown or performed the artworks in zero gravity for
the artist
The work will be published as a open access White Paper and summarised
as a Book Chapter, and published on the Leonardo/OLATS web site.
This is an open call to space artists to send us a testimonial:
Roger Malina, Kathryn Hays, Cris Kubli
contact us via rmalina@alum.mit.edu
We would welcome a written testimonial from you where you talk about your
experience creating space art-
- did any new ideas develop by the people in space who made use of your
space art, where zero gravity changed the nature of the ideas
- did you come up with new ideas as a result of insights from the space
art after it was realised in zero gravity
your testimonial will be published as a contribution to a white paper we
will be publishing and summarised in a book chapter.
We would welcome random or organised thoughts !! of any length, format,
with or without illustrations. If you have already written about this,
please do send us the reference.
below is the current abstract for the paper
also suggestions of other space artists you know we should contact are
welcomed

Creativity and Cognition in Extreme Environments: The Space Arts as a Case
Study
Lead Authors: Kathryn Hays, Roger Malina, Cris Kubli
Abstract
Humans, like all organisms, have evolved to survive in specific
environments. When such organisms are forced, or choose, to live and work
in other environments they function differently, both mentally and
physically. Our paper will develop the history, present practices, and
future possible arts in the context of humans beyond the Karman boundary of
the earth?s atmosphere. This paper will explore the space arts as a case
study in creativity in extreme environments, in this special issue of
journal/book. Tasks involved in extreme environments are cognitively
demanding and require high physical and psychological adaptation and
expertise. Cognition, not only in scientific tasks, is influenced by the
context in which it is situated. To facilitate cognitive operations, such
as creativity, beyond those needed for survival and safety, environmental
or task context needs must be addressed and specific cognitive training
developed. Viewing cognition as embodied, enacted, socially embedded, and
extended provides a framework for its relationship to the environmental
conditions. As cognition relates to the environment, so do cognitive
processes and operations, such as perception, problem solving, and creative
ideation. We develop a revised taxonomy of space arts, based on the
taxonomy by Roger Malina presented at the 1990 International Astronautics
Conference. We provide specific exemplars of space art in zero gravity
developed by artists in space, or for use by astronauts in space.. Using
examples of space art since the birth of the space age, we discuss 1) how
human survival in extreme environments requires investment in the space
arts to develop sustainable social cultures in zero gravity and 2) how new
scientific discoveries could be consequences or examples of creative
thinking driven by artists in the various types of space art. We conclude
by comparing and contrasting space with other extreme environments as
contexts for creativity.

Dear Roger,
I am happy to learn that you are doing this research on
extreme environments.
As I am sure you remember, but may be not all Yasminers, I
co-curated an exhibition on this topic in 2009 with Jean-Luc
Soret at the MEP in Paris. It included some space art works.
The catalogue is available for download here
http://www.annickbureaud.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/CAT-OKFestival-@rt-Outsiders-2009.pdf
It is both in French and English, just scroll through
And the website of the exhition is here
