Sputnik Observatory is a New York not-for-profit educational organization dedicated to the study of contemporary culture. They fulfill this mission by documenting, archiving, and disseminating ideas that are shaping modern thought by interviewing leading thinkers in the arts, sciences and technology from around the world. Their philosophy is that ideas are not selfish, ideas are not viruses. Ideas survive because they fit in with the rest of life. Their position is that ideas are energy, and should interconnect and re-connect continuously because by linking ideas together we learn, and new ideas emerge.

Their goal is to encourage life-long learning, and their website acts as a democratic space where people can listen and engage with ideas that inform contemporary history. Ideas that they  believe will empower everyone to be a part of today’s cultural conversation.
