Imagine a city in space -- a round structure miles across that millions would call home. Engineers working at NASA in the 1970s developed colorful proposals for permanent settlements in space, but their plans were shelved and forgotten. Decades later, a new generation of dreamers from high schools around the world aspire to mine asteroids, terraform other planets, and venture to the stars. The students have come together for a contest at NASA, and have big plans for the next millennium.

Lowry Burgess, a pioneer space artist, has over 30 years of experience collaborating with NASA and creating visionary artworks in a cosmic context. In 2013, a robotic mission from Carnegie Mellon (the first commercially funded lunar expedition) will send his art to the Moon.
The Moon Arts Group envisions creative ways of establishing a link between the Earth and Moon, advances the presence of human culture in space, and facilitates never before realized opportunities for art and exploration.
Past Perfect: Backing up life, one day at a time.
Past Perfect is a service offering individuals an opportunity to upload their most treasured memories to the cloud.
The creation of this speculative business consisted of promotional videos, and sample backups of actual people's memories. We solicited prospective customers on Craigslist who volunteered the memory of one day in their lives which we produced into short films.
In collaboration with Scott Rashap and Lauren McCarthy, the project was realized through the TriBeCa film Institute's Story hackathon, in May 2013.
