Astronauts who have seen the Earth from space have often described the “overview effect” as an experience that has transformed their perspective of the planet and mankind’s place upon it, and enabled them to perceive it as our shared home, without boundaries between nations or species. Commercial space travel will expose thousands of private citizens to the overview effect over the next decade. Their responses to this transforming experience will bring about a new kind of self-awareness and a new global consciousness that will instigate practical actions towards sustainability.
This exhibition is inspired by Overview, a film by Planetary Collective about astronauts viewing earth in space, and expands on its theme with a collection of artworks that reflect a range of thought provoking planetary interconnections. Artists include: Maurice Benayoun, Lincoln Schatz, Mark Amerika, Eduardo Kac, Michael Najjar, Andrea Ackerman, Marcus Neustetter, Claudia Hart, Emanuel Pimenta, Björk and Andrew Thomas Huang. The ‘Overview Effect and Other Planetary Interconnections’ is curated by Streaming Museum, founded in NYC in 2008, which produces contemporary-themed exhibitions of multi-media arts and presents them on screens in public spaces on seven continents, streamingmuseum.org, and at cultural centers internationally.
宏觀效應和行星聯繫 (美國、法國、德國、南非、巴西、葡萄牙)
《曾經從太空上看過地球的太空人經常會形容「概觀效應」(Overview Effects)是一種轉換對星球和人類所居地的看法的經驗。這種經驗使他們感覺這是我們無分國界共同的家。在往後的十年，因為商業太空旅遊數以千計的地球人民即將會經驗到「概觀效應」。他們對於這個轉換經驗的反應會帶來一種新的自我意識與及一種新的全球意識，這些意識將會激起對可持續發展的實際行動。
這放映展覽啟發自The Planetary Collective行星集團的「Overview」映像計劃，一齣講述太空人如何自太空觀看地球的電影。透過多件藝術作品去拓展此概念，並反映一系列有關發人深省的行星互連想法。參與藝術家包括莫奔(Maurice Benayoun)、林肯．雪茲(Lincoln Schatz)、馬克．阿美利卡(Mark Amerika)、愛德華多．卡茨(Eduardo Kac)、邁克．納賈爾(Michael Najjar)、安德烈．阿克曼(Andrea Ackerman)、馬庫斯(Marcus Neustetter)、克勞蒂．亞哈特(Claudia Hart)、伊曼紐爾(Emanuel Pimenta)、Björk及安德烈．湯馬士．黃(Andrew Thomas Huang)。「宏觀效應和行星聯繫」由串流博物館策劃；串流博物館於2008年在美國紐約成立，致力製作當代主題的多媒體藝術展，在七大洲的公共空間屏幕、網站streamingmuseum.org與及多個國際文化中心裡展出作品。

After minting his fortune during the Internet boom of the late nineties, Elon Musk is building businesses in three 21st-century industries: space exploration, solar power, and electric automobiles.
