This project has its roots in the early part of 2012, when I approached the European Space Agency with a very ambitious proposal: to produce the most comprehensive survey ever assembled about a leading scientific and space exploration organization. It is the first time in their history that they have granted an artist exclusive access to all of their facilities, staff, programs, technology, etc This projects looks to critically engage with ESA’s programs, such as the microgravity, the lunar and Mars exploration programs, among others, whilst also reflecting on the new politics of space exploration and the subsequent erosion of the utopian 1960s frameworks for space usage, as well as the impact of this kind of technological application on our social consciousness.
