“Still here, 100 years on. Still material, still creative, still caring for each other.” — Liz, 2126

Project Overview
Messages from Space is an immersive installation where cosmic rays (real, high-energy particles from deep space) activate sculptural instruments, responding to each impact with light, sound, and a science fiction narrative. Participants receive the transmissions over FM radio on vintage radios, completing a time travel loop: 1985 hardware tuned to voices from 2126.

Messages from Off-World is a virtual reality installation of the same project that was nonetheless installed in a physical space that could be experienced by groups of people at a time with no additional hardware via a gesture tracking system.
