    Fly me to outer space This project explores new power relations between a networked public and the artist as well as the process of funding an artwork through crowdfunding to its extreme. The idea of this project is a journey to outer space with the forthcoming launching of the spacetourism services of Virgin Galactic. This means that the artist will realize a trip to outer space which will be documented through various ways. The project will already start before the actual trip with a networked video performance on the crowdfunding platform “Kickstarter” known for funding projects of various interest, or the prevalent crowdfunding platform at the moment of the project launching, trying to raise the amount of 200,000 USD. The “Kickstarter” platform has already succeeded in raising up to almost 1,000,000 USD for the most succesful project to date. The artist will present a small description of the project through a video-recorded performance to the online audience which will be given incentives for baking the project. Possible awards for the people who will fund and contribute to the project might be: Original Polaroid photographs taken while in outer space 5-minute intensive thinking of a specific person while in outer space Copy of a video documentation of the journey
