作品“动能漂移”探索了在微重力环境中发生的空间定向失调的过程。人类在太空轨道的出现使得外层空间的日趋商业化。而人类在零重力环境中前庭系统会紊乱,前庭系统负责我们的平衡感和空间定向。由于失去了稳定的重力参考点,宇航员在垂直度的感觉上经历了任意和意想不到的变化。从一个点观察时完全熟悉的透视在从不同的上下参考点观察时可能会变得不熟悉。
作品“动能漂移”展现了迈克尔·纳贾尔 (Michael Najjar)2013 年 10 月在俄罗斯星城尤里·加加林宇航员培训中心 (Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center) 进行的零重量飞行。艺术家本人正在执行一架俄罗斯伊柳辛 IL-76 抛物 线飞行中的动态漂移。他在失重状态下漂浮了10 多段时间,空间迷失了方向, 他拍摄了一系列他周围的空间的照片。他用这些来对空间环境进行数字化重建 ,构建了一个虚构的空间,例证了熟悉的空间轴的丢失。作品画面的中心正是艺术家本人处于失重状态。
“kinetic drift” explores the process of spatial disorientation, which occurs in a microgravity environment. Commercia- lization of outer space may depend upon an increased human presence in orbit. Sojourns in zero gravity environ- ments cause disruptions of the human vestibular system which is responsible for our sense of balance and spatial orientation. Deprived of a stable gravitational reference point, astronauts experience arbitrary and unexpected changes in their sense of verticality. Perspectives that are thoroughly familiar when viewed from one point may become unfamiliar when viewed from a different up-down point of reference.
The artwork “kinetic drift” draws on a Zero-G flight taken by Michael Najjar in October 2013 at the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center in Star City, Russia. The artist himself is performing the kinetic drift during a parabolic flight in a Russian Ilyushin IL-76. Over 10 periods of floating in weightlessness, and spatial disorientation he took a series of photos of the space around him. He used these to make a digital reconstruction of the spatial environment, building a fictive space exemplifying the loss of familiar spatial axes. The center of the composition shows the artist himself in a state of weightlessness.

More about the artist
Michael Najjar (b. 1966) works and lives in Berlin, Germany. Najjar’s photo and video works exemplify and draw on his interdisciplinary understanding of art. His pictorial language of form and content guides the viewer into a complex construction of simulated reality which is generated by the montage of multiple image sources and elements. He removes the photographic image from its historical viewing conventions and resituates it in a fundamentally new mode of perception. Fusing science, art, and technology into visions and utopias of future social orders emerging under the impact of cutting-edge technologies, Najjar takes a complex critical look at the technological forces shaping and drastically transforming the early 21st century.
Najjar has exhibited at Joan Miró Foundation, Barcelona; the 2006 Venice Biennale’s 10th International Architecture Exhibition; the 9th Havana Biennale; the 7th International Moscow Biennial; Academy of Arts, Berlin; Museum Ludwig, Cologne; Kunsthalle Hamburg / Galerie der Gegenwart, Hamburg; Deichtorhallen International Museum of Photography, Hamburg; Marta Museum, Herford; Edith Russ Site for Media Art Oldenburg; Museum of Art, Tucson; Science Museum, London; Museum of Contemporary Art, Birmingham; New Media Art Institute, Amsterdam; FORMA International Centre for Photography, Milan; Centre pour l’image contemporaine, Geneva; Museo DA2 (Domus Artium 2002), Salamanca; Centro de Arte Contemporaneo, Málaga; Museo Es Baluard, Palma de Mallorca; National Museum of Science, Taipei; Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing.
