This book considers the relationship between \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eart practice and space science, presenting new \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003emethodologies for art-sci collaboration informed by non-\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eterrestrial contexts. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRegarded widely as an irreverent luxury accessible to only a select few, commercial space exploration seems an unlikely setting for contemporary art practice. However, faced with the inevitability of this developing industry and the new environments it presents, a new field of creative practice is emerging. In \u003ci\u003eArt in Orbit\u003c\/i\u003e design theorist Barbara Brownie argues that these new environments offer novel opportunities that are yet to be fully recognized by the creative industries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThroughout the book, Brownie explores the contexts, questions, challenges and opportunities for creative exploration of form, materials, and the body, in space. Drawing on original research in the STEAM subjects, the book highlights how artists, engineers, and theorists have begun working in close collaboration to reconsider practices that have been taken for granted throughout the history of art practice, demonstrating how ideas about orientation, weight, balance, and the familiar behaviours of art and craft materials are all radically altered in the microgravity of orbital space.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe research presented is supplemented by 9 original case studies from sculpture, craft, performance, and land art, together with exclusive interviews with artists who have produced work for space. Taking an original, critical approach to the spaceflight sector, \u003ci\u003eArt in Orbit\u003c\/i\u003e sets out to define a new field of artistic practice and the real-world impact of art-sci collaboration. It provides a template for developing new narrative strategies for space projects which will engage artists, scientists, and collaborative teams from across disciplines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53539752771958,"sku":"9781350451735","price":95.93,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_33050522.jpg?v=1738869296","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781350451735-art-in-orbit-art-objects-in-outer-space","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
