THE GOLD 45 PROTOTYPE

2018-2019

 

An extended project exploring the possibilities for making a collaboratively devised sequel to the Voyager Golden Record. It’s been 40 years since NASA launched their message in a bottle into the cosmic ocean and a lot has changed down here on earth…what do the extraterrestrials need to know about us now? 

​

Project activities include social events, public discussions and participatory sessions with over 500 Cambridge residents.

​

Outcomes include a prototype record and a series of works on paper.
