The community is invited to join the New Mexico History Museum (NMHM) for a special presentation by writer and visual artist Sean J. Patrick Carney based on his podcast, Time Zero, which looks at nuclear history and the cultural architecture of postwar America.
What: From the first nuclear detonation in New Mexico's Tularosa Basin in 1945, through decades of mutually assured destruction, to science-fiction-like visions of atomic energy powering advanced artificial intelligence platforms, to radioactive half-lives numbering tens of thousands of years, the Time Zero podcast looks at the ways that the nuclear has reoriented humankind's relationships to space and time. Sean J. Patrick Carney, an American writer, researcher, composer, and visual artist, will preview his podcast in this special live presentation. The lecture is free. Seating is limited.
