Proposed & Future
Space Art Projects [ Next ]
2003. For the past several years, French artist Jean-Marc Philippe has been developing the KEO Project - a time capsule that is designed to orbit the Earth for 50,000 years. The launch was planned for 2003 and is still pending. Russian artist Radik Kagirov is soliciting support for a project which will create orbital constellations or visual effects in the sky. Richard Clar has proposed several projects which have been under development for a number of years. "Earth Star" (Clar,1997) consists of a ceramic artwork to be created in space that would utilize the transforming process of heat generated during re-entry. "Alma da Agua" (Clar – Ribeiro, 2002) is a project which combines samples of water from all of the eight Portuguese-speaking countries. The individual water samples are to be carried into space aboard a Brazilian sounding rocket (Sonda III) where they will be combined in weightlessness and then recorded on video. This year the European Space Agency launched a
study proposal to seek ideas for the “Cultural Utilization
of the International Space Station” (AO/1-4512/03/NL/EC).
A number of organizations submitted bids in February 2004 and the
selection of the study manager should take place before the summer. The OURS Foundation, Leonardo/Olats, ESA
and the International Academy of Astronautics (Commission VI) are organizing
a four day
workshop called “Space: Science, Technology and the Arts” which
will be held at ESA research center ESTEC in Noordwijk, NL on May
18-21, 2004. Here we expect to see a number of new art projects
for space launched into the public domain. Click to continue: |
