A little more than two months ago, the NASA DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) mission intentionally slammed a space probe hurtling at 14,000-miles per hour into the asteroid Dimorphos. The kinetic energy of the crash successfully altered the asteroid’s orbit. This is the first time humanity has ever changed the trajectory of a celestial object, and the first successful test of full-scale asteroid-deflection technology. Ejected by the impact, a plume of debris and dust yawned out over 6,000 miles, a blue and white trail glittering in the sunlight.

Collisions are productive—moments of transcendence, rift, and unpredictable emergence. TIGER STRIKES SATELLITE draws work from a wild spectrum of practice, all in orbit around the Tiger Strikes Asteroid Network. With locations in Philadelphia, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Greenville, SC, Tiger Strikes Asteroid is a 501c3 non-profit network of independently programmed, artist-run exhibition spaces. Our goal is to collectively bring people together, expand connections, and create community through artist-initiated exhibitions, projects, and curatorial opportunities.
