Awesome day with NASA
Amazing day at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory exploring everything cosmic... a golden moment was seeing an original Carl Sagan Voyager Golden Record & cover ✨ now in its 40 year anniversary 🏆

At the Jet Propulsion Lab I have been fortunate to work with interesting materials. Aerogel is 99.8% air, yet a 1in thick piece would protect your hand from a blow torch. It has been used to catch dust from a comet and insulate the rovers on mars. But its effect on light is what I find so stunning. I have now used it in two installations, one for JPL, and one for the Technorama Museum in Switzerland. more at: http://ift.tt/1UbYNn0 “For those who dream, Faraway does not Exist” This was done for the JPL museum. It is about the dreams of those who work there. It is now traveling. If your museum or event would like it for some time let me know. “Solid Smoke” This version is a bit more interactive. There are infrared lights inside the display case and when your hands move over an open slit, the aerogel directly across from your hands turn colors. Unfortunately I finished installing with about 10 minutes before I had to leave so I have yet to get good video documentation. (The aerogel for Solid Smoke was purchased from Calchemist in the Bay area, the interactive aspects of the piece were done by Gilad Lotan)

I'm always trying to uncover the essence of something. Once you find the essence, you can play with that concept. If I can figure it out, I can show other people about it.

It's about trying to find a dim light in the midst of a bright light. I love the theme of seeing the unseen.

These are huge problems these people are working on, really difficult and technical, and sometimes they forget about the big picture. So when I show them something, they're like, "Yeah, that's why I'm doing this."

Over the past 50 or 80 years people [did] futuristic drawings of space. That inspired a lot of the people who are here. They were all under their covers looking at comic books, and now they're here making it happen. I'm creating different experiences.
