Las composiciones las armamos usando mucho de nuestra colección de fotos, pero también armamos escenas y personajes usando verduras, frutas y objetos de casa. Las ilustraciones acompañan la nota principal, donde le preguntan a diferentes personas (un técnico de la agencia espacial japonesa, un diseñador de moda, una especialista en comportamiento animal, etc) cómo imaginan el futuro. Seiichi Sakamoto, de la Agencia de Exploración Aeroespacial Japonesa (JAXA) dice:
‘A medida que la exploración espacial progresa, no debemos olvidar que vivir en el espacio es poco realista. Es cierto que vamos a poder navegar por el espacio, como ahora navegamos por los mares. Pero debido a nuestra fisionomía, somos criaturas hechas para vivir en la Tierra. Sin embargo, conocer el espacio es conocernos mejor a nosotros mismos y nuestro planeta. Dentro de 100 años, es posible que encontremos formas de vida que cambien nuestra concepción acerca de qué es la vida. Para conocernos mejor debemos seguir mirando a las estrellas.’
Mientras tanto, todo el mundo habla de GJ 1214b como el planeta más cercano (20 años luz) que se parece a la Tierra. Es 6 veces mas grande y parece tener agua, pero la temperaturas promedio van de 120º a 282º C.
A while ago we worked on some new collages for Mammoth magazine. The issue is now out and we have been eagerly waiting to see how they'd come out. The new FREE paper has been printed in beautiful newprint, one of everyone's favorite papers, but very difficult to print due to its high absorption. But they have truly done a wonderful job, every detail and contrast has been retained.
The collages run along the feature article, asking people from different areas their thoughts about the future. They have interviewed architects, animal behaviour specialists, fashion designers and more. They all say interesting things, but among our favorites is Seiichi Sakamoto from JAXA. He says:
‘As space travel advances, we shouldn't forget that living in space is pretty unrealistic. We will likely be able to cruise space, just as we do the oceans today, but due to our muscle formation, we’re really creatures built for Earth. However, learning more about space lets us know more about ourselves and our planet. In another 100 years, there’s a chance we’ll find other life forms that may change our thoughts about life. To better know ourselves we need to keep looking at the stars.’
In the meantime, the scientific community enthuses about GJ 1214b, the closest planet (40 light years) known to have similar conditions to Earth. It's six times bigger and may have large amounts of water. Temperatures are higher though, ranging from 120º a 282º C.
Following, some other nice spreads by Bruno Munari and featuring a book from early 20th Century about how our life would be today.
