We are Pleased to Announce the Launch of
“The ArtSciLab Healing Canvas”
March 10 2025
With the participation of Marten Weldon and Roger F Mallina, we are researching the utilization of healthcare spaces to promote patient recovery. Studies have shown how art can play a vital role in the healing process, and with a biophilic perspective, we seek to study the interactions people have with different environments. We are beginning the project at the UTD ArtSci Lab in the Bass School, looking into people’s comfort, stress, interactions, and efficiency in different types of rooms. Eventually, we will take our research to clinical settings and promote the use of art alongside natural elements in spaces that will encourage patient recovery. With each room being a canvas, we hope to inspire wellbeing through our design. An IRB is being filed so we can collect and analyze data as we go forward. If you are interested in being involved, please contact Shreyas Chandra at: Shreyas.Chandra@UTDallas.edu

Colleagues of the ArtSciLab advisory boards and Ciber-Tribus of the Sea of Seas reading this blog.
Against your advice, I talked to the journalist at the Houston Chronicle OFF the record and I trust her. I connected her with some colleagues and friends of mine at NASA.
My answer to cancelling DEI in space anger was this MANIFESTO
Let AI telescopes do the looking up- Hubble, JWST Chandra work great as do neutrino and gravitational weave downwards looking observatories. Don’t send humans into the earth’s interior either.
(Ai insider thought: How about calling it the “Gulf of Sunlit Waters”? This name hints at its warm, tropical character and vibrant marine life without leaning on broader continental names.
Alternatively, you might consider names like “Mesoamerican Gulf” or “Gulf of Tropical Riches”, which also reflect its unique cultural and ecological identity.
Golf of Mosaico Cultural?
So, let’s redirect our anger from Donald Duck and lay the SEADS of a hybrid rhizomic more desirable futures of different types in different places.

Summary
In this manifesto, Roger F Malina advocates for a radical rethinking of space exploration and societal progress. Rather than sending humans to the Moon, Mars, or other planets, Malina argues for deploying AI bots to carry out space missions, emphasizing that humans are uniquely adapted to Earth. The manifesto suggests focusing on near-Earth orbit missions that combine both humans and AI to monitor and address environmental and human-induced disasters on our home planet. It also criticizes the current U.S.-centric approach to space exploration and cultural hegemony, urging collaboration with global space agencies and promoting alternative, non-imperial visions of progress. Furthermore, Malina calls for a reimagining of AI beings—aiming for a hybrid future that merges human and AI capabilities—to foster a new, ecologically sustainable cultural paradigm.
Specific Next Steps
These steps aim to operationalize the manifesto’s vision by combining technological innovation with a commitment to global collaboration and ecological responsibility.

1. (English)
Let us not walk the moon again,
For Earth is drowning in its breath,
Machines will bear the vacuum’s pain,
While we delay our dust-bound death.
2. (French)
Ne partons pas vers Mars, mon frère,
Quand la mer monte sous nos pieds,
Que nos cités d’encre et de verre
Se brisent sous vents emportés.
3. (Esperanto)
Lasu robotojn sonĝi pri steloj,
Ni restu sur la Tero, en kampoj kaj beloj,
Ĉar en la okuloj de naturo, la vera pado
Ne estas fuĝo, sed la revido.
4. (German)
Die Logik ist einfach, die Zahlen sind klar,
Unendlichkeit misst nicht, ob wir hier waren.
E = mc^2, doch wozu?
Die Zukunft gehört dem Algorithmus.
5. (Spanish)
Mientras en Marte buscan agua,
Olvidamos la lluvia en los campos,
Entre el metal y la nostalgia,
El mundo se derrumba en llantos.

Роботы видят сквозь свет и тени,
Но не слышат, как падают звезды.
Зачем нам железные гении,
Если сердце замерзнет без грез?

人間の心はもっと深い。
地球の涙を忘れるなら、
空の旅に意味はない。

12. (Arabic)
إِنَّ الأَرْضَ تَبْكِي مِنَ الحَرَائِقِ،
وَلَا يَسْمَعُ أَحَدٌ صُرَاخَهَا.
إِذَا كَانَ الذَّكَاءُ صُنْعِيًّا،
فَهَلْ يَكُونُ الحُلْمُ كَذَلِكَ؟
13. (Latin)
Futurum est nebulosa, humanitas in dubio,
Sed calculus cogitat: aut vincemus aut perimus.
14. (Greek)
Μηχανές ταξιδεύουν στα άστρα,
μα οι καρδιές μας καίνε στη γη.
Τι νόημα έχει η εξέλιξη,
αν η αγάπη μας θα χαθεί;
15. (Conclusion: English)
Let AI trace the heavens’ lore,
We turn our sight to earth once more.
Among the roots, beneath the sky,
Let humans learn to live, not die.
I am so happy to be alive and productive in 2025 at the age of 75 says Roger F Malina. I will try to apply theory to practice through this manifesto.

Dallas DART stands for Dallas Area Rapid Transit, which is the public transportation agency serving the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. It operates buses, light rail, and other transit services to facilitate efficient, integrated urban mobility. Key aspects of DART include:
Relevance to the UT Dallas ArtSciLab:
While the DARTSCILAB might be focused on art, design, or interdisciplinary research, the core concepts behind DART can inspire similar approaches in a creative or academic environment:
By drawing on DART’s emphasis on connectivity, data-driven decision-making, and user-centric design, the UT Dallas ArtSciLab could develop innovative frameworks for collaborative, interdisciplinary work that rapidly responds to both creative impulses and community needs.
Let’s do it by trying.
