  • 1-Bureaud Annotated
    A New territory of (In)human Proportions Annick Bureaud introduction to the space art special section, Art Press, n°298, February 2004 Where is space? For the ancients, it was simple. There was the Earth and the Heavens, and the more or less divine links between the two. Science secularized the cosmos, and engineers hurled their rockets right into it. Where does space begin? Where does the Earth end? On its surface? With its atmosphere? With its gravitational field? With what used to be called “the known world,” that is, the “inhabited” and mapped world ? French uses the vague term espace to designate “the world beyond the world,” while English prefers “outer space,” implying that there is an “inside space” as well. Space and territories are at the core of many space artworks. Leave the Earth, turn around and look back at it. This macroscopic vision involves a shift in the relationship of scale between us and our planet that is simultaneously glorious and overwhelming. Alain Jacquet took up this global vision in his serigraph First Breakfast (1972), where the Earth, seen from the pole, looks like an image seen on a radar screen. The human vision and the artificial vision of satellites for a new re- presentation of the world. For the @ Geosphere Project (1990), Tom Van Sant made a polar projection map of the earth using satellite photos. This “real” image goes beyond cartographic abstraction, with its political boundaries etc. It is unreal, or perhaps ultra- real, because there is not a cloud in sight. But you can also use the Earth as a medium, as if going beyond Land Art, and draw on it an eye that is reflected by the "eye" of the satellites in an endlessly reflexive stare (Reflections from Earth, Tom Van Sant, 1980), or its medieval symbol, fusing sign and object (Signature Terre, Pierre Comte, 1989).

  • Season 2, Ep. 9 Walking on the Moon Pt. 2 FINAL.Pdf
    AirSpace Season 2, Episode 9 Walking on the Moon Part 2 Nick: Hi and welcome to AirSpace. This is part two of our special Apollo At 50 series. Emily: In our last episode we talked about the science that astronauts, Nick Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin conducted on the moon. This episode, we want to talk about the lunar science Apollo astronauts enabled back on Earth. Nick: With 842 pounds of moon rocks transported back to Earth, we've had a lot to study over the last 50 years. Matt: And only some of those rocks were studied back 50 years ago. NASA scientists made a plan to keep a large portion of the lunar samples sealed off and totally pristine for the last 50 years until now. Nick: Today, we'll hear from space scientists who are unsealing those samples for the first time this summer. Emily: The most exciting thing to me is that we can look at these samples with techniques that weren't even developed or even maybe thought of when the Apollo samples first came back to the Earth. Matt: And we'll talk with one lunar geologist who was working on a proposal to go back to the moon with a rover. It could dive deeper into lunar mysteries than ever before. Emily: Usually when we're studying these materials, we can use satellite data but that's only showing us the top microns to upper meter or so of the surface. With this we're really peering in. This hole is a hundred meters deep.

  • Book Review: Blue Marble Evaluation: Premises and Principles
    Book Review American Journal of Evaluation 1-7 ª The Author(s) 2020 Book Review Article reuse guidelines: sagepub.com/journals-permissions journals.sagepub.com/home/aje Michael Quinn Patton. (2020). Blue Marble Evaluation: Premises and Principles. New York, NY: Guilford Press. 230 pp. $78.48 (hardcover); $40 (paperback), ISBN 978-1-4625-4194-2; ISBN 978-1-4625-4195-9. Reviewed by: Robert Picciotto , University of Auckland, New Zealand DOI: 10.1177/1098214020905647 Michael Quinn Patton’s Blue Marble Evaluation is a forward-looking, path-breaking, and timely contribution to evaluation theory and practice. The title of the book evokes the Blue Marble shot—a photograph of the whole earth taken by the Apollo 17 astronauts in 1972. The preface of the book displays the first image of our lonely planet captured from space in 1968 (Earthrise). It elicited the following comment by an Apollo 8 crew member: “We came all this way to explore the moon, and the most important thing is that we discovered the Earth.” This is the bracing perspective offered by Blue Marble Evaluation, an audacious publication designed to make evaluation truly matter in a world facing existential risks. Overview The book is soundly structured and fluently written. It is in three parts. The first outlines four overarching principles. The second elaborates on their implications in the shape of eight operating principles. The third puts forward a theory of change for transformation and how it should be used. Each principle is preceded by an explicit premise. The focus on principles is rooted in Patton’s disdain of detailed rule books that tie down evaluators and lead them astray when faced by the uncertainties and emergent challenges of complex dynamic environments.
