SETI

One of two window installation part of '2010 The Year we Made Contact' Nottingham Studios presents.... a series of pop up exhibitions curated by Mik Godley SETI located window spaces in the City Centre is a lighthearted exploration of the search for life beyond Earth, influenced by current research SETI* (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence). The satellite dishes symbolising SETI dishes with lights and cables are seemingly connected to a computer screen displaying the words ‘I Am’ in several languages including Chinese (Manadarin), Spanish, Hebrew, French, Italian, Polish, Russian, German and Hindu. The installation uses TV satellte dishes to create a theatrical work that imagines what the SETI dishes would discover 'at the end of the universe'. In this case the words 'I Am' are mysteriously recorded in every Earth language. 'I Am' is the name of God from the Old Testament.
