Attention-powered Space Trip

Ever wonder about how much you could have accomplished if you could just use the three hours you spent on TikTok to study? Now, you can actually power a spaceship with that pure energy. This design speculates a future technology that can harvest attention as an energy source from the public, and power spaceships with zero harmful emission.

As space tourism has become quite popular among the ultra rich, (think Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk), society has become quite critical of their extravagant spending on such deeds. Here I present an environmentally friendly way to tour the space for those who can afford it. Now they can tour the space and give themselves a pat on the shoulder that they have done something great to benefit the planet.

This noir design poster is a critique on the current attention economy that keeps us addicted to constant feed of contents and drama. Our identity on social media stratified and flattened, only to be commodified to the marketing companies. Every second we pay attention to the trending topic, someone is getting paid. Our attention made space tourism for the ultra-rich possible. In this design, I take this connection further and make it a direct link.
