The world's first active communications satellite, Telstar, was launched in the middle of the last century. It only worked for half a year due to the fact that on the eve of the launch, the United States conducted a nuclear bomb test. Emitting particles filled the space around the earth and destroyed the satellite's electronics in a matter of months. The satellite managed to transmit many television programs, phone conversations and faxes. Telstar pioneered the satellite TV era.

Konstantin Tsiolkovsky was self-taught, which didn’t prevent him from becoming the founder of modern astronautics. As a child, he was almost completely deaf and could not study at school. Educated on his own, he became a teacher and promoter of ideas about space exploration and settlement. One of Tsiolkovsky's most significant ideas is space trains. Modern rockets, consisting of several adjacent stages, are the implementation of one of his projects. Tsiolkovsky is recognized as a thinker who was significantly ahead of his time.
The portrait is created of images of Konstantin's writings, views of space, moon, rocket launch platform and fire. Background is based on a sketch drawn by Tsiolkovsky himself.

Nikolai Lobachevsky is one of the creators of non-Euclidean geometry. He suggested that parallel lines may intersect, and tried to prove that this was impossible, but the formulas suggested otherwise, and it turned out that this is actually possible. Thus, Lobachevsky proved the geometry that is familiar to us is not the only possible one. In physics, Lobachevsky's geometry is used at those scales where velocities approach the speed of light.
This portrait of Nicholas Lobachevsky is drawn with curved rulers, symbolising the curved space of non-Euclidean geometry.

Ballerina made of butterflies, dances, as if blindfolded, in her own imagination, surrounded by the world filled with flutter, light, lightness. Emerging from the scorching earth under her feet, moved up by the swirling streams of her movement. Her graceful dance propels her to freedom, towards the vast cosmos, which falls gracefully into her fragile hands.
Andy’s controversial work depicting realistic images of Campbell canned soup originally did not result in monetary success. The art pundits of the time did not believe an artist would reduce art to representation of commercial product akin to grocery shelves. There were only a few people who agreed to pay $100 per canvas, of the 32 total canvases on display.

There is an island to the north-east of Australia where the cult of aircraft worshipers is widespread. Adherents of this cult believe that manufactured goods are gifts of gods sent to natives, but taken away by evil white people. Natives build long lanes and depict the behavior of airbase soldiers in ritual dances, praying that a military plane will arrive and drop cargo with goods to the American base, and the military will, once again, share with the natives. This is an example of ‘magical thinking’ so prevalent among the modern inhabitants of the civilized world.

Andrey Borisov (also known as suborg) is a Russian multidisciplinary artist and developer based in Moscow. He fell in love with digital art in early childhood and never looked back. Having started with demoscene, he later developed personal philosophy and style, and began to create sophisticated digital collages.
These collages consist of a limited number of simple elements that blend together to create and represent the meaning of the big image. This produces a miracle effect in the human mind, and interacts with conscious and subconscious perceptions at the same time. The role of individual personality in history and the meaning of objects are the leitmotifs of suborg's collages.
