A new exhibit at the ArtScience Museum in Singapore truly has something for everyone — especially if they’re even a little bit intrigued by space or the possibility of life in it. Many special displays will be on hand featuring both historic takes on space to modern representations of the future of such discovery and travel.
One of the exhibits that will be on the end of the grander scale of things is a strange and delightful performance filmed exclusively in zero gravity. The short video, which will be available to view, is groundbreaking, the performers executing dazzling stunts as a plane flew in endless parabolas to get the right conditions needed for zero gravity. The production team and critics who flew in the plane were strapped in for all but the final parabola, when they unbuckled their seat belts and got the opportunity to experience flight. Everyone had special pockets to vomit in so they wouldn’t ruin the performance.
Another exhibit features artwork currently found on the moon — though not many people would know that there actually are masterpieces on the lunar landscape. Art by Andy Warhol and Robert Rauschenberg were secretly added to the Apollo 12 lunar lander before it made its way to the moon, and the art remains there still.
Other attractions include sculptures of items that have been aboard space stations, the sounds recorded for the Voyager missions, and more than one hundred other pieces of art and manuscripts documenting our fascination with space and what might lie within it. First editions of space-themed writings from important names in science like Galileo, Darwin, and Copernicus will also be available to view. There will also be a replica telescope to interact with just like the one Galileo used to discover that Jupiter had moons of its own. There will also be displays on how Eastern minds were thinking about space and stars way back in history, and how important those thoughts were in shaping culture. Perhaps one of the most exciting parts will be a look at historical manuscripts that reportedly detailed interactions with and sightings of UFOs and the aliens purportedly within them.
