Anton Nikolotov is a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Social Anthropology, Collège de France. He studies what space is worth: the vernacular values surrounding observatory infrastructures and dark-sky economies in Kazakhstan, and the cosmic rock markets across Eurasia and its extraterrestrial elsewheres. He also plays mouth harp, badly.
