McLean Fahnestock: All 135 shuttle launches viewed simultaneously

I had the pleasure of attending McLean Fahnestock's 'artist talk' at the opening of her exhibition Space Agency at Harcourt House, August 2, 2012.  This powerful video mosaic, Grand Finale, fills the viewer with wonder, dread and awe:  http://vimeo.com/27505192

Also on display are altered photographs of rocket lift-offs with the spacecraft seamlessly removed, a darkly humorous and enigmatic visual spin on archetypal, iconic imagery.
