Supreme Consciousness by Boris Pelcer

Turning your mind inward is the only way to have a better understanding of the universe outside your head, for can we ever explore the inky swirlings mysts of the cosmos without first mapping the synaptic space between our own neurons? Prints of the some of the designs are available at Society6.

Celestial Monsters by Chris Keegan

The thrill of outer space is that we really just have no goddamned clue what’s out there. Aliens? Sentient planets? Intergalactic space police? Probably all of these, plus unfathomably more bizarre creations we couldn’t possibly produce with our earthly imaginations. Chris Keegan took a pretty good stab at it though, manipulating images from NASA’s Chandra X-Ray Observatory of floating space debris and vast, lightyears-spanning nebule into dark and majestic forms, surely just an echo of the monolithic entities just beyond our telescopic grasp…

A New World: 2013 by Tobias van Schneider

Our Doomsday predictions were accurate in one respect: it was certainly the end of our fabricated construct of time designate 2012. Though the end of that world is alright, 2013 is a whole new realm to venture forth in and explore, so long as you’ve learned your lessons from the year before and are no longer afraid to peer into the dark, distant corners…

Poetics of Harmony by Soh Jin Ping

Soh’s Poetics of Harmony is an artistic interpretation of the universal order of Taoist philosophy and the harmonious relations that connect the Tao and the “ten thousand things” that make up our reality. Divided between three books, each explains a different component of life as explained by Taoists: the first represents the Void and how Yin and Yang emerged from it, the second uses the Loshu grid to explain how forces exert control over one another, and the last explains the concept of triple unity through several unique papercuts.

Cosmic Strings by Buwaneka Saranga

Created in Photoshop, Buwaneka investigates the infinitely tiny intricacies of String Theory, which posits the existence of head-shrinkingly minuscule strings that form the fundamental components of our Universe. Personally, mine are made out of spaghetti strings. More meatsauce with my cosmic reality, please.

Nebulae by Fabian Oefner 

That’s no galaxy! That’s a fiber glass lamp seen through long exposure photography, then duplicated several times in Photoshop to achieve maximum starrage. It turns out that a galaxy far, far away is really as close as your local clearance bin.

Bodies in Space by Nathan Hoste

Nathan’s series depicts the various and scientifically accurate ways a body will succumb to the sweet embrace of death when exposed to the near-vacuum of space; from radiation sunburn to rapid decompression. More importantly, and this is something I’ve always believed, when faced with the grandeur of the Universe and simultaneously your own imminent demise, you experience an overpowering desire to inexplicably remove all of your clothes. It’s science. Prints available at etsy or Nathan’s shop.
