This week I chose a project by a company, “Spacetime Coordinates”. It is an art project that brings a personalized map of the positions of the planets at the calculated day of one’s birth. The company extracts NASA data and algorithms to compute the random positions of the planets to create a customized print. The company has created minimal style posters in the colors of dark blue, black, and white. I think what is really great about this project is the fact that no two date entries provide the same map. It is amazing how you can plug in a random date and see the snapshot of the solar system of that day, visualized into a minimal map. The style of the posters are very simple, with thin colored curves resembling orbits and small circles representing planets. The company has also created 3D printed metal casted sculptures which present personal planetary information. All of their works seem interested in displaying unique and personalized planetary positions, and are all made in a minimal style.
