An Important Memory for Humanity is Refik Anadol’s groundbreaking limited-edition NFT collection that utilizes data from the world’s first all-civilian space flight. The collection presents a series of poetic data sculptures and paintings of the Inspiration4 mission. 
	
For this collection, Anadol and his team interpreted data from SpaceX and NASA-funded research institute TRISH (Translational Research Institute for Space Health) on the effects of space travel on the human body. TRISH conducts cutting-edge research into the impact that the conditions in space have on the astronauts, with an attempt to reduce the health risks of venturing deeper into the universe.

Anadol’s one-of-a-kind NFT collection not only reveals an insight into the challenges of space travel, but also contributes to a meaningful and purposeful cause to help solve critical health issues. 30% of all NFT sales will be donated to St Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
In collaboration with //CreativeWorkStudio.

INSPIRATI4N

The 21st century is the first golden age of space exploration and of artificial intelligence. In addition to viewing space exploration archives through the lens of artificial intelligence, one of the goals of this series is to address the idea of looking at humanity “from outer space.”

UMAP Sculptures are AI data paintings that simulate a latent walk in a data universe of all the images and spoken words from the mission, as the space travelers were looking at the world from outer space. They combine Anadol’s vision of handling data within its own universe with his approach to data visualization’s latent space as a locus for self-generating expansion, like that of the universe.
