Space , the last frontier … for street nontextual matter . No , we ’re not quite ready to tag the International Space Station , but a pair of artists in San Francisco is working on bring space down to Earth with a serial of wall painting depict everything from configuration to nebulae . And , boy , are they pretty .
With the help ofNils Thorsenand the San Francisco Art Commission , Ben Janikhas spend the past few weeks painting actual locations in space onto walls across the land as part of the Public Space Project . The space mind start up when Janik was asked to paint a few boards for the disordered windows . “ My typical graffiti style prowess did n’t seem to fit the wall , so I decided to go with space ! ” he told Gizmodo .
The approximation catch on . Janik took the idea badly and act on a pic - naturalistic gist . “ I practice diagrams and a grid to lay out accurate mavin formation for places like the Orion Nebula , the Andromeda Galaxy , and the Moon , ” says the creative person . “ There are now space murals in Chicago , Tampa , Atlanta , San Francisco , and Milwaukee . ”
So why not bring distance mural to every metropolis ? They ’re gorgeous and informative . Plus there ’s plenty of cosmos left . Janik ’s already done everything fromMessier object 45(M45 ) , a mavin cluster also known as the Pleiades …
ToM20 , the Trifid nebula locate in the constellation Sagittarius …
ToM42 , the splendidly gorgeous Orion nebula …
ToM101 , the Pinwheel Galaxy that work up part of the Big Dipper …
Now all they require isM83 . It comes with a built - in soundtrack …
Janik sound out he ’ll paint several wall painting this summertime , one of which will be a “ massive painting of Mars . ” Just do n’t bury the rover , Ben . Don’t blank out the roamer .
