Because playing that game where you cover the Earth with your thumb doesn't cut it anymore.
Ten possible proposals of art works for the International Space Station:
1) Christos drapes large swaths of orange fabric over communication satellites, calling them "Gates of information." 2) David Bowie's song "Space Oddity," as played by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. 3) Robert Mapplethorpe's photos of a man with the Hubble Space Telescope up his ass. 4) Herman's Hermits song "Mrs. Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter," sung by William Shatner. 5) Dr. Maya Angelou reading her original work, "Zero-Gravity Makes a Proud Woman Want to Vomit." 6) A version of John Cage's 4'33", performed by Avril Lavigne while being shoved out an airlock. 7) Klingon Opera. 8) The Byrd's "Hey, Mr. Spaceman," performed by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. 9) Yoko Ono's suggestion: Douglas Adams' corpse, wrapped in bubble wrap and anchored to a wall by a single man's tie. 10) Cirque Du Soleil's specially-designed performance, "Men in Tights Floating Around While Flailing Their Legs Like Spazzes." |
