“Ouranos, Above Us Only Sky.” commissioned by the MTA Arts and Design - Digital Art Program.
Culling images from Johann Bayer’s 1603 star atlas Uranometria, Grand Central’s vaulted ceiling adorned with constellations (completed in 1913), and the visionary architecture of Antonio Sant’Elia’s never-realized buildings “Città Nuova” (“New City”), and Hugh Ferriss’s The Four Stages, the piece embodies the dynamic interplay of economic and cultural forces that define civilization.
Inspired by my recent studies in Praxeology and open market economic principles, this animation explores how human action, purposeful behavior, and personal accountability shape civilization. It highlights how individuals, through voluntary interactions, contribute to our collective journey by recognizing the transformative power of cooperation, the division of labor, accountability, human behavior, and open markets, impacting society’s prosperity, development, and cultural growth. The animation features a skyline blending real and unrealized buildings, symbolizing the city’s essence.
