Okay, space cadets: The Microgravity Interdisciplinary Research group is offering you a chance to develop art projects to be carried out in zero-gravity conditions.

I am not making this up. They somehow got the MIR space folks to agree to let artists run projects inside MIR’s parabolic flights — where they fly a Russian IL-76 MDK aircraft in a huge screaming dive to generate “30-second periods of weightlessness (zero gravity/microgravity) in freefall, interspersed with periods of double gravity (2g acceleration) and normal gravity.”

This is the pilot project of the MIR (microgravity interdisciplinary research) initiative, which seeks to open up space and space industry related facilities by matching artistic processes and scientific research to give a new impulse to space art and space research.

Assuming you don’t blow chunks the entire flight, this could indeed produce some pretty weird art. Past projects include dancers choreographing zero-g movements to help train astronauts.
