OK Go\u2019s zero-gravity art contest follows up on a music video that the group performed during a zero-gravity airplane flight. (OK Go Photo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos\u2019 Blue Origin space venture is joining forces with the music-video masters at OK Go to give students a chance to send art experiments into outer space on Blue Origin\u2019s New Shepard suborbital spaceship.<\/p>\n

The \u201cArt in Space\u201d contest follows up on OK Go\u2019s viral \u201cUpside Down & Inside Out\u201d video, which splashed paint all over the interior of an airplane during a zero-gravity parabolic airplane flight.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow we want you to try, but in actual space!\u201d the music group says in today\u2019s contest announcement.<\/p>\n

Winners won\u2019t be able to get quite as wild and crazy as OK Go did: Their experiments will have to be confined inside a 4-by-4-by-8-inch box that would be packed aboard an upcoming New Shepard test flight in West Texas. They can weigh no more than 1.1 pounds, and explosives are frowned upon.<\/p>\n

Despite the limitations, teams will have wide leeway to design a payload that produces art in microgravity. Students aged 11 to 18 are eligible to enter, in groups of three or more with an over-21 mentor to guide them.<\/p>\n
