Space Chic: Artist Will Paint in Zero Gravity

For his new project “Life in Space,” artist Nasser Azam plans to paint aboard a “vomit comet”-style airplane ride while in zero-g 23,000 feet in the air. During the twenty-second intervals of weightlessness he plans to complete several large paintings, and he’ll be outfitted in a designer jumpsuit put together by Alexander McQueen — very posh.

Hi! My name is Whitney Dail. I am an emerging cultural worker, arts administrator, and STEM to STEAM advocate who was raised in the DC/MD area with two brothers, a computer technician and an architect, by a Naval aviator-engineer and artist-entrepreneur. I have a Master’s in Arts Administration from Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). My goal is to explore relationships between art, science, and technology through writing, curating, and contributing to multidisciplinary creative communities.
