NASA Artemis Activation

NASA celebrated Artemis, its new lunar exploration program, with a crowd-sourced activation at the International Astronautical Congress, which took place October 21 to 25 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington. The 15-foot-long sculpture depicted the Artemis logo composed of 3,000 user-generated photos that had been submitted in person and through Instagram and Twitter. Images were printed on site, and event guests applied them to the sculpture. For the activation, NASA partnered with Luster, a New York-based technology company that creates hashtag printers for events. See more: How NASA Created a Sculpture Made From Thousands of Selfies
