Gravity Drama! Yael Frank’s new work suggests the creation of an artistic experience for the astronauts, tailored to their circumstances. This is a digital-theatrical work, which animates the objects in the Space Station through “planting” absurd scenes within the given space.


The virtual appearance of pointless objects and situations, devoid of any logic, within the hyper mechanized, monitored and computerized environment, in which every moment, every inch is used for research and for humanity’s advancement, seeks to face off the micro-culture and the micro-science in a broader sense, in order to pose the question - is it possible to create a “greedy” cultural experience in the austere, functionality and extreme environment of scientific human presence in space?


Through scanning codes, which will be spread throughout the Station, an app will be activated, enabling us to experience the various scenes and objects through an iPad screen simulating live video photography of the zone toward which the camera is directed. This way the entire Space Station actually becomes a virtual work of art.
