In September 2012, Creative Time, in collaboration with scientists at MIT, launched artwork by Trevor Paglen 24,000 miles into space, where it orbits to this day aboard a communications satellite. This is just one of the hundreds of far-out projects this NYC artists' collective has commissioned in the past 40 years. (Another example: the twin beams of light commemorating the twin towers after 9/11.) The group's website is an ever-changing collage of photos, paintings, sculptures, videos, and artistic projects. Must-see areas include the News section of the site, sharing happenings in New York City and around the world, and the Projects section, providing information on Creative Time projects in a searchable and sortable format. These projects are accompanied by detailed information about the project itself as well as the artist behind the work.
