Inner Telescope, a Space Artwork by Eduardo Kac

Overview

Designed to exist in weightlessness by artist Eduardo Kac and created aboard the International Space Station by French astronaut Thomas Pesquet, the artwork Inner Telescope marks the first step toward a new form of artistic and poetic creation, freed from the constraints of gravity. The film Inner Telescope, a space artwork by Eduardo Kac, takes us on this artistic and scientific journey—from the conception of the piece in Eduardo Kac’s studio in Chicago to its realization in orbit by Thomas Pesquet, 400 km above Earth, during the European Space Agency’s Proxima mission.
