A Sign In Space – simulating a message from ET
Over the past few months I had the privilege to be part of a team of artists and researchers who assembled a hypothetical message from ET for A Sign in Space, a project founded and directed by media artist Daniela de Paulis. The message was loaded on the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter, a spacecraft orbiting Mars. On May 24th it was beamed back to Earth and received by several radio telescopes during a live performance. Since then, a community of people from all walks of life has been attempting to make sense of the message. If you enjoy the challenge, join the discord channel…
In plain words
A Sign In Space is an art and research project that created a hypothetical extraterrestrial message, loaded it onto the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter spacecraft, and beamed it back to Earth via radio telescopes in a live performance on May 24th. The project invites anyone interested in cryptography, linguistics, and space to attempt decoding the message as part of a collaborative community effort. It combines art, science, and public participation to explore how humanity might interpret contact from beyond Earth.
