Lisa Yin Han, an Assistant Professor of Media Studies at Pitzer College and author of "Deepwater Alchemy," delves into eco-media and the relationship between technology and deep-sea mining. She discusses the environmental impacts of plumes in mining and critiques how media shapes our perceptions of oceanic spaces. Exploring the intersection of extraction, representation, and marine life, Han advocates for a radical rethinking of human relationships with the sea, urging integrated approaches to protect vulnerable ecosystems.
