Nelly Ben Hayoun has been called the "Willy Wonka of design and science". Her work aims to bring chaos, subversion and disorder into the design and scientific world. An award-winning director and experience designer, she works with leading scientists and engineers to devise subversive events and experiences.[1]

Education

Ben Hayoun had an eclectic education, initially trained in painting then Textile Design at Olivier de Serres National College of Art and Design in Paris and then graduated from Design Interactions (MA) at the Royal College of Art with distinction for her dissertation. She is currently a  PhD Candidate in Human Geography at Royal Holloway, University of  London, UK. [2]

Designer of Experiences at SETI Institute

Ben Hayoun was appointed Designer of Experiences at the SETI Institute under the supervision of Jill Tarter, Karen Randall, Franck Marchis, Adrian Brown and Janice Bishop in May 2013. [3] Her work at SETI will be on extending outreach activities and design in terms of scope, scale, and methods of engagement towards architecture, installations, environments, social system, performances, experiences and narratives, as events.

Director of the International Space Orchestra (ISO)

Alongside her role as Designer of Experiences at the SETI Institute, Ben Hayoun is directing the International Space Orchestra at NASA Ames Research Center. The International Space Orchestra is a project she created and assembled over the summer of 2012, with a team of space scientists from the NASA Ames Research Center, SETI Institute (Search for Extraterrestrial Life), Singularity University, and the International Space University. [4][5]

Launch in Space

On 4th August 2013, two ArduSat (Arduino based Nanosatellite run by the company Nanosatisfi) carrying the ISO recordings of Ground Control: An Opera in Space were launched aboard the H-IIB Launch Vehicle, HTV-4 from Yoshinobu Launch Complex at the Tanegashima Space Centre. A video of the launch is available for public access online.[6]
