Nanex ~ 27-Jun-2012 ~ Nanex Image selected for Space Launch
Trevor Paglen, an internationally
recognized artist is sending a time capsule into space aboard the EchoStar 16 scheduled
for launch in August 2012. Trevor spent 4 years collecting images that best represent
different aspects of life and civilization on Earth as we know it today. After many
interviews and research, Trevor distilled the collection down to just 100 images. One
of those images is from Nanex. We'll post that image after the launch to preserve the
surprise.
In addition, a book entitled The Last Pictures chronicles the making of this
time capsule project. The 100 images form the centerpiece of The Last Pictures.
The Last Pictures will
be released in September 2012.
