Connecting to nature

This trippy illustration is from Till Langschied of Germany, who is currently a student at the Dutch Art Institute. Langschied used glitched scans of a 1998 Kennedy Space Center brochure he received during his visit to Florida as an 11-year-old boy. “By glitching and digitally manipulating these images, I tried to open-up their meaning because there is not a singular idea of space or how to travel it,” Langschied said.
“I was interested in entangling images of the cosmos and space technology with structures of plants, building a bridge between technology and nature,” he continued. “As the question of living bodies existing within space become more pressing, we have to see nature as an anchor when taking root among the stars.”
