About this event

Event image

The Lithuanian Space Agency (LSA), founded by Julijonas Urbonas, is an organisation for research into space architecture and gravitational aesthetics. It is an astro-disciplinary initiative that aims to advance the extraterrestrial imagination. In Venice, the agency presents Urbonas’ latest project: Planet of People.

Instead of sending humans to colonise other planets, what if we catapult them into empty space to create a new celestial formation from their bodies—a planet of people? What architectural, cultural and socio-political implications would the realisation of this project have on humanity? What is the drive behind such an initiative and how can its concept be employed to understand our life on Earth and beyond?

As a part of the ongoing astro-scientific study of Planet of People, the LSA introduces a prototype to explore what it would actually take to realise this kind of planet. The prototype consists of a 3D scanner that scans the participants of the experiment and ‘sends’ them into space as animated simulations. As more and more people participate throughout the trial run in Venice, their scanned bodies begin to form a planet.

Along with Planet of People, the agency unveils the LSA’s archive of Urbonas’ other projects that investigate the relationship between gravity and aesthetics.
