The Challenge
Orbital Temple is an art project that questions the symbolic colonization of paradise by giving you the power to send the name of a loved one to a radical inclusive “heaven”. Backed by Open Society and NASA, the creative agency Rise New York & Partners and the artist Edson Pavoni collaborated to launch a radical inclusive temple in the sky.
The satellite was specially designed to have the capacity to store billions of names. When visiting the website, available in more than 50 languages, it is possible to fill out a free form that only asks for the visitor’s email address and the name of the person who will be sent to heaven.
