Katie Paterson Takes Here Study of the Earth to New Heights – The New York Times

Katie Paterson’s work has always been about Earth, and the great vastness beyond.A Scottish multidisciplinary artist, she has worked with scientists across the globe on exhaustively researched projects, including The Future Library, an anthology of 100 previously unpublished books written by some of the 21st century’s most celebrated writers. In 2022, astronomers helped her count the times the sun has risen since the Earth was formed — to the most accurate level scientists can — for a piece titled “—there lay the Days between—.” Years earlier, she had worked with scientists specializing in light at the firm Osram to develop lightbulbs that simulate the lunar glow.
