why go to space why do we leave this
place that’s easy to be the act of going
there pushes boundaries in and of itself
it’s a blind exploration into a very
cold indisputable and expansive universe
sometimes the opportunity is so
tremendous that you just can’t say no to
it and I think this had a little bit of
that flavor both client labs and
Autodesk appear 9 explore how we can use
new technology in interesting ways to
have insights about ourselves about this
planet about the way that we have an
effect on the world planet labs is a
company that has one of the largest
constellations of objects in space they
have satellites which circle the Earth
and image the surface of our planet once
a day all the time to figure out how
we’re affecting landscapes what changes
are like looking at climate patterns
many different things that you can do
with those images this new data set
allows us to ask all sorts of new
questions like how much water is in
every reservoir around the planet also
you can catch rain forests deforestation
as it’s happening rather than notice six
months later that a giant chunk of
forest disappeared as a spacecraft
designer it’s been really amazing to
bring an artistic inspiration into our
satellite design we really want to make
these beautiful spacecraft we call them
dubs this is an example right here of
the art the laser etch into the
spacecraft’s we feel that it’s important
to put art in space on our radio domes
on everything we do because we want to
inspire people to investigate science to
investigate creativity to go do
beautiful art pieces in an uncomfortable
and unique manner the first thing I
heard about this project is I love the
idea of an art gallery in space that no
one can see and I was like then I just
hear art in space and from that moment
forward part in space kind of became
a really exciting concept for me our
prompt was to make art that would
benefit people on earth and I took a
really long think about what I want
orbiting the Earth knowing that
something was watching me be it a
surface monitoring satellite in this
case my understanding is that these
these satellites will be in orbit for
about a year and a half or two years
before they’re pulled down by gravity
into a fiery death in the atmosphere and
I think that’s that’s beautiful and
perfect it’s an amazing expression of
art and permanence to take a little bit
of yourself and represent that in terms
of something creative to express
yourself with a piece of art and then
and then watch them and send it to a
place very very far away is an exercise
an opportunity in and of itself it’s an
exploration of how we can have the role
of creativity in space help us reflect
back on what we do here
