  • Art on Mars: a Foundation for Exoart
    THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF CANBERRA AUSTRALIA by TREVOR JOHN RODWELL Bachelor of Design (Hons), University of South Australia Graduate Diploma (Business Enterprise), The University of Adelaide ART ON MARS: A FOUNDATION FOR EXOART May 2011 ABSTRACT ART ON MARS: A FOUNDATION FOR EXOART It could be claimed that human space exploration started when the former Soviet Union (USSR) launched cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin into Earth orbit on 12 April 1961. Since that time there have been numerous human space missions taking American astronauts to the Moon and international crews to orbiting space stations. Several space agencies are now working towards the next major space objective which is to send astronauts to Mars. This will undoubtedly be the most complex and far-reaching human space mission ever undertaken. Because of its large scale and potentially high cost it is inevitable that such a mission will be an international collaborative venture with a profile that will be world- wide. Although science, technology and engineering have made considerable contributions to human space missions and will be very much involved with a human Mars mission, there has been scant regard for artistic and cultural involvement in these missions. Space agencies have, however, realised the influence of public perception on space funding outcomes and for some time have strived to engage the public in these space missions. This has provided an opportunity for an art and cultural involvement, but there is a problem for art engaging with space missions as currently there is no artform specific to understanding and tackling the issues of art beyond our planet.

  • 10, 2016, Phoenix, Arizona, USA 1 Millennial Time Capsules As A
    WM2016 Conference, March 6 – 10, 2016, Phoenix, Arizona, USA Millennial Time Capsules as a Promising Means for Preserving Records for Future Generations-16542 Claudio Pescatore* and Abraham Van Luik** *Private Practice Consultant, 72 Rue de la République, 92190 Meudon, France, [email protected] **U.S. Department of Energy, 4120 South National Parks Highway, Carlsbad, New Mexico 88220, USA, [email protected] ABSTRACT When we deal with preservation of Records, Knowledge and Memory (RK&M) for any long-term, non-inspected facility such a deep geological repository, there is no single technical or cultural provision that can be relied upon to do alone the preservation job 100%. Rather we should increase our chances by implementing a combination of approaches based on different components that provide redundancy and/or pointers to one another. Time capsules are no exception. However, they seem well suited to support national archives and other preservation elements, in order to preserve RK&M as long as possible or interesting. Time capsules are a ready to go, workable concept, with many examples of implementation of large-size, millennial time capsules at small depths based on science and lessons to be learned. A proposal is also made for considering and developing small-size time capsules placed strategically deep underground at repository level. INTRODUCTION Time capsules are used rather commonly by schools, companies, councils and even families to record and preserve today's artefacts for future generations, documenting how we live today. The practice is rather widespread and it suffices to search “time capsule” on the Internet. Numerous examples exist in the USA, Japan and Europe of millennial time capsules at small depths based on a scientific approach and with many lessons learned.

  • Corporate Legacy
    \\jciprod01\productn\H\HLB\5-2\HLB204.txt unknown Seq: 1 28-MAY-15 9:29 CORPORATE LEGACY ANDREW A. SCHWARTZ* Many public companies have shed takeover defenses in recent years, on the theory that such defenses reduce share price. Yet new data presented here shows that practically all new public companies—those launching their initial public offering (IPO)—go public with powerful takeover defenses in place. This behav- ior is puzzling because the adoption of takeover defenses presumably lowers the price at which the pre-IPO shareholders can sell their own shares in and after the IPO. Why would founders and early investors engage in this seemingly counterproductive behavior? Building on prior attempts to solve this mystery, this Article claims that IPO firms adopt takeover defenses, at least in part, so that they can remain independent indefinitely and create corporate legacies that last for generations. Throughout human history, people have sought to overcome the human condition and achieve the only form of immortality reasonably available to us: a legacy that “lives on” after we are gone. Legacies can be established in count- less ways, including art (Leonardo da Vinci), literature (William Shakespeare), and athletics (Babe Ruth). The corporate form, though not previously recognized as such, can likewise serve as a vehicle for achieving an enduring legacy be- cause corporations are endowed by the law with “perpetual existence.” Publicly traded corporations in particular are well suited for this purpose, given the significant social and cultural role they play. Once a company goes public in an IPO, however, it suddenly becomes vulnerable to takeovers, which can end its corporate existence and thereby any hope of an enduring legacy.

As of today – fifty years ago on June 18, 2011 – only one time capsule has ever been opened as originally planned; the majority have been lost, forgotten or stolen before their contents could be shared with the future. From where I sit in time, just passing through the first decade of the 21st century, odds are that in 2061 you will never get to read this or see the works of art placed inside the time capsule; time passes, people die, others forget. Our single success story goes like this. In 1876, on the occasion of the United States Centennial Exhibition, a Civil War widow, Mrs. Charles Diehm, had the idea that in 1976, people attending the country’s Bicentennial celebrations might like to see what their forbears valued a century earlier, and so a steel safe, more than five feet tall, was constructed and lined in purple velvet. Organizers filled it with books, photographs, autographs of famous citizens from the day; visitors to the display at the Centennial Exhibition 52 53 RONALD JONES THE ODDS ARE AGAINST YOU were able to sign a red leather-bound volume, which in Surrey unearthed his legendary stash of LSD.

    MILLENNIAL TIME CAPSULES AS MEANS FOR ì COMMUNICATING HUMAN HERITAGE Claudio Pescatore, PhD Research Affiliate, Dept of Cultural Sciences, formerly with the OECD [email protected] To be clear ì When we deal with Records, Knowledge and Memory (RK&M) preservation for the long term there is no single memory preservation method that can be relied upon 100% to do the preservation Job alone.We need rather an approach that combines different methods providing redundancy and/or support and/or pointing to one another.

However, they seem well suited to support, e.g., national archives and other preservation methods, in order to preserve RK&M as long as possible or interesting. ì Time capsules are a ready to go, workable concept.

The time for opening may be specified or not. ì Pompeii, pyramids, etc. are not time capsule, though they can provide hints at conservation techniques ì In their simpler variety, time capsules are often used to transmit family information

  • A Sonic Time Capsule
    A SONIC TIME CAPSULE A sound, a whole sound is not separation, a whole sound is in an order. Gertrude Stein 0. INTRODUCTION This document attempts to lay out a path towards the creation of a sonic time capsule. It can be read like a map, a score, or an instruction manual. It is a prototype for action, and hopefully, through time, it will grow and multiply with the experiences of others. Right now, it is nothing other than potential; its consequences are yet to be determined. What we have in mind is to make possible a gathering of those who are interested in listening to the present. Although sound is our privileged medium, we welcome thinkers from all disciplines and backgrounds. In fact this inter-disciplinary approach is crucial to the workshop since sound is something we are all involved in, something that concerns us all. The only requisite for participation is a willingness to listen and go beyond our aural comfort zone. By listening to the present we mean engaging with it critically: problematizing it, questioning it, bringing forward our concerns, hopes, preoccupations and desires about that which we all have in common; we want to open up “a strong oppositional place of conscious listening” (Westerkamp, 2002). The time capsule helps us travel the necessary distance to make this type of listening possible because we are aware that it is difficult to detach oneself from the present. The reason for the difficulty of contemplating and talking about sounds heard around us may be that the world of sounds is too close, too ‘present’.
