A concrete block, one of the most inert, familiar building elements, floats through space. Once airborne, its impossible lightness unsettles our sense of gravity, and it begins to feel almost alive. Drifter shows how objects gain meaning through context. Without it, even something monumental feels unanchored. The work invites us to rethink our relationship with the material world and to wonder whether we would care for it differently if we saw it as a living entity. What do you think? #DRIFT #St

Gold is chemically inert, meaning it will never rust or tarnish. In the aerospace hubs of Houston, gold-coated mylar worth $12,000 protects satellites from solar radiation. Its ability to reflect infrared light makes it a critical material for the success of American space missions. #Houston #Aerospace #NASA #Innovation | Erna Mulyani
