Dan Goods and David Delgado will talk about the Museum of Awe, a collaboration emerging from their passion to create experiences where people are reminded of the gift and privilege of being alive."
Dan Goods is passionate about creating experiences where people are reminded of the gift and privilege of being alive. During the day he runs The Studio at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a team developing creative ways of communicating and working to transform complex concepts into meaningful stories that can be universally understood. After hours he works on creative projects around the world. Currently he is collaborating with others on new public art pieces in San Diego and San Francisco and is developing the “Museum of Awe” with David Delgado and Ivan Amato. An experience of art, science, theater and surprise. In 2002 Goods graduated valedictorian from Art Center College of Design. Recently he was selected as “One of the most interesting people in Los Angeles”. He lives in South Pasadena, California with his wife and three kids.
David loves ideas that elevate our spirit and make us feel part of something bigger than ourselves. As a Visual Strategist with The Studio at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab, David draws from his background in anthropology, advertising, and art/science learning to create experiences that activate our imagination and invite us to think more deeply about the questions that drive science and technology forward. A central theme to his work is the relationship between imagination and the desire to explore. Outside of JPL, David works as an independent artist and co-founder of the Museum of Awe, developed to leave visitors feeling the gift and privilege of being alive.

ArtCenter College of Design
Pasadena Arts Council (PAC) and the Williamson Gallery at ArtCenter College of Design presented the symposium, Free Radicals: Evolving Perspectives on the Convergence of Art & Science, the newest program of PAC’s AxS (art + science) Initiatives. While often described as occupying opposite ends of a spectrum, art and science are instead united in the recognition that both domains are powerful engines of contemporary culture.
