Singapore art goes into Space!

When this article is published, NASA spacecraft OSIRIS-REx launches into Space with three of Lin Hsin Hsin‘s art works.

The art works are on a chip.

The original of one, titled “Asteroid”, is an oil painting on canvas from Man & his Universe Series (1982). It is in a public collection in Singapore, one of only four Asteroid paintings in the world. One other painting of the four is also by Lin Hsin Hsin.

The other two in Space are digital art works. The IT inventor / artist / poet / composer from Singapore created them by hand, or rather, by finger, on an Android smartphone. They are founded on mathematical theorems she invented in 2016. They are part of two new series of digital art on Universe.

This is an art show “opening” none of us can attend. But this exhibition “space” will be hard to beat by any Artist or Scientist.

Of course, anyone can invent Mathematical theorems any time! But is it a valid theorem? Validity has to be proven and endorsed (by the likes of NASA).

Best of all, I can now claim to know someone who had something that went into Space!
