Gallery Type: Artwork from Psyche Inspired

This is a 3D animation of a satellite moving around the Psyche asteroid. The textures of the satellite, the asteroid, and the background were digitally painted. The animation is in 360 format, so the viewer is immersed and can look around. In the background, stars, the sun, and planets are seen. The sun emanates light and illuminates the asteroid. As the satellite moves around the asteroid, a shadow is cast upon it.

Containing space in a box seems impossible, but this piece attempts to do just that. As the Psyche asteroid and orbiter float in a box, viewers of this piece control an outside temperature sensor that activates LED lights, which are used to represent stars. The higher the temperature, the more twinkling stars surround Psyche. The image shows Psyche’s famous two craters, and the asteroid’s elemental color changes.

Psyche is depicted as a robot that is androgynous, humanoid in shape, and skeletal. Its body is metallic, silvery, and accented with brassy, gold-like colors. It appears old and vaguely steampunk. Its head is cocked inquisitively to one side, and it has two large, lopsided eyes that are reminiscent of the giant craters on the asteroid. "Psychebot" is written above the robot, appropriately labeling the character.

This piece is composed of a swirling blue, purple, yellow, and white background with sweeping wide brushstrokes. Interspersed throughout the artwork are cutouts of magazine pages showcasing happiness on people’s and animals’ faces as well as snippets of cities and machines -- human creations. The entire work mimics the surface of the Psyche asteroid, with its crevices and its streaks of gold running along the top. The collage elements are cut in wave shapes to blend in with the direction of the brushstrokes.
