Michael Najjar — Mars Cubes
CGI / 3D Modeling and Rendering
On May 5, 2018, NASA launched a stationary lander called InSight to Mars. Riding along with InSight are two CubeSats, small, boxy satellites the size of a carry-on suitcase. The artwork „mars cubes“ visualises these CubeSats currently on the way to Mars. Based on original technical drawings and pictures taken during the construction process at Nasa´s JPL laboratory the object was virtually rebuild with 3D computer software. The composition is very much inspired by the drawings of the Russian constructivists.
Michael Najjar is an artist, adventurer and future astronaut. In his work he focusses on the technological forces shaping the 21st century.
