Bay Area Yuri's Night 2007 at NASA Ames - Ticket prices about to go up!

Wed, 28 Mar 2007 23:29:48 GMT

Prepare for Liftoff!

WWW.WORLDSPACEPARTY.ORG

Get ready for something entirely different.

On April 13th the Bay Area joins the world in celebration of space exploration
in a unique convergence of artists, scientists, astronauts, performers and
musicians.

Yuri's Night is a commemoration of humankind’s first venture into space, by
Russian Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin. This gathering bridges national, cultural,
generational and social barriers to ignite excitement about what is new on the
horizon in space exploration and to remind us of the magnificent feats
humanity is capable of.

Yuri's Night Bay Area will be held at Moffett Field in the NASA Ames Research
Center's massive SOFIA hangar, home to the world's largest aerial observatory.
Our host for the evening is pioneering space traveler Anousheh Anasari, the
first privately funded female to reach orbit. She is joined by Dr. Chris
McKay, world renowned expert in astrobiology and terraformation with the Space
Science Division of NASA Ames Research Center, as they welcome you to a
dazzling array of interactive art installations and science demos, interwoven
with musical and acrobatic performances by some of the world's finest
entertainers.

Cutting-edge interactive technology and live demos including:

* Exploration of the world through NASA World Wind
* Gigapan, explorable high resolution panoramas from around the world
* A portal into Second Life
* Burning Man Earth, Google's Black Rock City browser

Science demonstrations and innovations from the worlds of robotics,
engineering, and astronomy, will also be on display:

* ASME's Human powered vehicle
* NASA robotics, including the next generation of rovers
* Exclusive heavenly imagery from Slooh

Engage with space-inspired and technology-infused art installations, including:

* StarZipper, created by internationally renowned artist Michael Light
and collaborator Dave Rattray
* Peter Foucault's Motion Sensor Drawing Robots
* Spot Drave's collaborative evolutionary high-definition visual
algorithm generator, Electric Sheep
* Meet the artists and scientists face to face or chat virtually with
visitors from around the globe at a kiosk.

Experience rare video works documenting art in space:

* Matières Chorégraphiques by Kitsou Dubois, celebrated French dancer,
choreographer and artistic director of Ki Productions

* Projects from the Zero Gravity Arts Consortium, Lowry Burgess's
monumental project The Seed of the Infinite Absolute, Lorelei Lisowsky, and
Frank Pietronigro's 'Drift Painting' in microgravity
* Meet Japan's space artist Ayako Ono
* Jean Luc Soret's Space Art project videos curated direct from Paris's
International @rt Outsiders Festival.

Enter the Documentary Dome and fuel your imagination with the planet's
greatest space-related documentaries, including screenings of:

* Dr. Maryanne Galvin's 'What's Going On Up There?'
* 'Hubble: 15 Years of Discovery': a project of international cooperation
between European Space Agency & NASA that dramatically documents The Hubble
Space Telescope.
* HBO's original production, 'From the Earth To The Moon'

Witness awe-inspiring space-themed performances by an armada of acrobats and
dancers, featuring:

* KC Bella Fuega and Spiral Hoop Dance (orbital hooping and bellydance)
* Flowtoys (celestial light performance and UFO flowplanes)
* VigilAntiUP (intergalactic stilting)

Music environs will be complimented by a team of visual artists -- including

space throughout the night.

Meanwhile, outside on the tarmac, the SPACE COWBOYS will have their own
dynamic lineup of djs aboard their interstellar party transporter, the UNIMOG.
Also on the tarmac will be Playaflies and Rabbit in the Moon's outside VJ
set PLUS large scale sculpture and multimedia installations from the bay
area's finest and beyond.

This year’s theme is the greenification of space. The event is bio-diesel
powered, a variety of organic food and drink will be available, waste products
will be composted and recycled, and one tree will be planted for every ticket
sold in an effort to offset the event's carbon emissions.

Come join us in celebrating the accomplishments of mankind on a collective
cosmic journey to the depths of space and beyond.

Anybody know what space art is?

Yuri — Sat, 02 Apr 2005 02:45:02 GMT

There was a space arts workshop up at NASA Ames in affiliation with Carnegie Mellon West earlier this year. A group of "space artists" tried to define what it is...who knows?

At YNLA, Dan Goods, JPL Artist in Residence will exhibit his uber cool "Shadows" project in relation to the cosmos. He's one of several artists exhibiting aside from our DJs.
