This project began | |||
This project began following the 'Life In Space' project sponsored by the National Space Biomedical Research Institute: Vanessa Cardui larvae that flew aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis to the International Space Station and educational project that were encouraged students to take part by creating their own habitats to watch butterflies over the course of aprox. 25 days. The greatest variable being gravity, although both 'artificial habitats', one on earth and one in space, would attempt to contain life. Both would use this process of observation and isolation in order to speculate how knowledge gained might apply to humans (and seemingly to living systems) traveling farther into the solar system and how this might effect, mediate and transform life on earth. | |||

Images were taken every 30 minutes during daylight hours, transmitted to the web, and captured here as one large chrono-sequential poster. | |||
