I was interested to see Yasmine Rix on your list of research affiliates; this is the first time I’ve heard of an X-risk organization working with an artist on public outreach, and it’s a neat idea.
Has this kind of work been on CSER’s agenda for a while/did you reach out to Yasmine? Did she reach out to you with the suggestion before you’d considered art? I’m curious about how the collaboration came to exist, and which benefits CSER thinks might arise from public outreach through art. (Is there a particular type of audience/media outlet you’d like to reach in this way that wouldn’t be reachable through publications?)
Thanks for writing up such a thorough report!
