Our Vertical Growth
Taking root is not only downwards, but also upwards. In a way, the path of the potato resonates with that of our societies: building on top of its predecessors. This year, we are much more confined in our local spaces. Rather than longing for the next leap or departure, I suggest we learn from our potato friends: rooting in, hilling up, growing with the land.
Sojourner 2020 Artist Conversation
Sojourner 2020 Artist Conversation - LIVE @ Ars Electronica
Sojourner 2020 Digital Exhibition at Ars Electronica
We are excited to be part of Sojourner2020 digital exhibition at Ars Electronica this year.
In 2019, the Space Exploration Initiative announced an open call to invite artists to submit artworks for an exciting ISS launch opportunity. After three rounds of reviews, nine groups of artists are selected to be on board Sojourner2020, an international art payload.
The design of Sojourner2020 follows classic spinning space station designs like the von Braun wheel (Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, 1903) and the Stanford torus (NASA, 1975). The spinning, ring-shaped space station is a plausible speculation on space habitats, as it creates an environment of artificial gravity for humans to inhabit. Sojourners in our tiny space habitats are our messages and our proposals to the question: How do we travel beyond the Earth as a collective species? What are the beautiful memories to treasure? What are the lessons to learn, both on Earth and in this universe?
