Space Art: My Trajectory

Abstract

This essay traces the author’s trajectory in space art. It starts in 1986, when he first conceived of a holographic poem to be flown to deep space (scheduled for liftoff in 2023), and continues into the twenty-first century through several works, including Inner Telescope, realized with the cooperation of French astronaut Thomas Pesquet aboard the International Space Station (ISS) in 2017. The author discusses his theoretical and practical involvement with space-related materials and processes. Special attention is given to his space artwork Adsum, conceived for the Moon.
