The Creators Project follows Israeli artist Eyal Gever on his mission to create a sculpture in space. We see how Gever and his team, in collaboration with a special project team at NASA, explore what it means to be human through zero gravity and 3D computer technology. We get an inside look at the complications the artist and scientists face in selecting an everlasting subject and how to create the actual artwork in space. It’s a most ambitious endeavor for mankind. Gever lands on the importance and delight of human laughter and figures out how to make sound sculptures to launch into space.

“The earliest cave paintings were of human hands which were a way of proclaiming and celebrating the presence of humanity. #Laugh will be the 21st century version of that, a mathematically-accurate encapsulation of human laughter, simply floating through space, waiting to be discovered.”

This is just too cool for words!

Not so hot on the ‘get the most likes!!’ idea, but I think I’ll have to go and see what this is all about just for the (haha) laughs. :)
I think the likes part is silly too, but it’s not my project, either. :D
