George Bolster (b. 1972, Cork, Ireland; lives in New York City) is an artist-in-residence at the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute in Mountain View, California.
This residency differs from a typical one because Bolster collaborates with leading scientists such as the SETI Institute’s Bernard M.

In our interview, Bolster spoke about his work Archive for an Unmade Narrative (2015-2016).
