This short film documents the projects of the "flying laboratory" organised by The Arts Catalyst with Projekt Atol Flight Operations on parabolic zero gravity flights from Star City, Russia, between 2000 and 2003 (with the MIR Consortium, 2003).
To date, more than 20 artists have created artistic work in zero gravity environments, mostly facilitated by The Arts Catalyst. In the bizarre world of parabolic flight, the total accumulated time of all these artists' experiences in zero gravity is only a few hours at most.
