An NFT collection by Refik Anadol exploring the adverse effects of space upon the human body, a challenge that presents unrivalled hindrances to both the exploration and furthering our understanding of this new frontier.
In the first initiative of its kind, celebrated media-artist and designer Refik Anadol will utilize data from the first all-civilian space flight (the Inspiration4 mission) to create interpretations of flight data sets aimed to challenge what it means to be human in the new era of space research for the good of all mankind.
NASA-funded research institute TRISH (Translational Research Institute for Space Health) has partnered with //CreativeWorkStudios. to collaborate with some of the world’s most inspiring artistic minds in bringing about an awareness of these challenges and solutions to the problems the human body faces both in space and here on Earth. Refik Anadol will be applying a unique approach through his work to help bring further awareness to these challenges.
As a partner to NASA’s Human Research Program, the Institute is charged with mitigating the health and performance challenges for human deep space exploration by finding and funding new, innovative, and disruptive technologies. The goal: to reduce health risks for astronauts and uncover advances for terrestrial healthcare.
TRISH has launched a research platform to study human health in space with private astronauts across many different flights and carriers. TRISH’s EXPAND (Enhancing eXploration Platforms and Analog Definition) program collects pre-flight, post-flight and in-flight health data from multiple space flights and house it in a centralized research database. EXPAND research addresses a wide range of challenges humans may face on long-duration space missions, but also could help solve some challenges on Earth: early detection of medical conditions, mental health, team dynamics and more.
