Almost a week before today in 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the Moon. This was a note sent to Nixon's chief of staff for the president to read in a press conference if the moon landing did not go as planned. Veryyyy Interesting.

She Changes
Janet Echelman builds living, breathing sculpture environments that respond to the forces of nature — wind, water and light.
Exploring the potential of unlikely materials, from fishing net to atomized water particles, Echelman combines ancient craft with cutting-edge technology to create her permanent sculpture the size of buildings. Experiential in nature, the result is sculpture that shifts from being an object you look at,
to something you can get lost in.
to something you can get lost in.
Janet Echelman was also a speaker at TED 2011's "Threads of Discovery" session and has been commissioned to create public art sculptures in North America and Europe. More can be found here:
