Nelly Ben Hayoun - Dreamers of the Day - Parallax

Nelly Ben Hayoun is driven by a need to access the impossible. The more challenging something is, the more she wants to accomplish it. Referred to by many as the Willy Wonka of Design and Science, her fearless and extreme ambition is matched by an attitude of absolute perseverance. To Nelly, a no is never a no, it is only the beginning of a yes. "Being polite,” she attests, “doesn't get anywhere, innovation arises from conflict."

Interview: David Yaden - Parallax

The Overview Effect, described once by Apollo 14 crew member Edgar Mitchell as an, “explosion of awareness,” refers to the euphoric and profoundly transformative experience of viewing the earth from beyond the boundaries of its atmosphere. The surreal effect of reflecting back on the planet from space triggers an overwhelming sense of awe, a deep interconnectedness with nature, and unity with all humanity. Being a part of the Earth, while simultaneously outside of the intricate processes at work there, is an uncanny and visceral experience that can permanently impact astronauts, altering their sense of self and their relation to humanity for a lifetime. David Yaden, a research fellow at the University of Pennsylvania’s Positive Psychology Center, grounds the Overview Effect in contemporary psychology and cognitive neuroscience. Investigating the empirical basis of self-transcendent and spiritual experiences, his research seeks the ways in which life-changing experiences like the Overview Effect positively impact psychological health, both for astronauts in space, and for the rest of us bound to our terrestrial existence.

Interview: Margaret Lazarus Dean - Parallax

"I think it’s often the case that when some large-scale change takes place, there is a narrative behind it, often a novel, that showed people how to envision this change before we had quite worked out how to do it." - Margaret Lazarus Dean
