About
How does being off Earth impact the concept of self?
Inspired by the Shoah Project and early measurements of sea surface temperatures to track climate change, this project seeks to develop and validate a tool that measures one’s “sense of self.” This indicator will track the transformation of one’s self-perception during off-world experiences. Video interviews will be produced documenting individuals’ sense of self assessments with the goal of launching an archive of evolving self-perceptions in off-world environments.
