Back to School

sarah_beckHeather Saunders has posted an interview on her blog, Artist in Transit, in which we discuss my time in residence at the International Space University.

You can read about my time in space here.

This summer I was the first Artist in Residence at the 27th Space Studies Program (SSP).

While acting as Rocket Artist, or resident Space Oddity, I re-imagined the Pioneer Plaque. Originally created in 1972 for inclusion on the Pioneer 10 launch, the Pioneer Plaque was a pictoral message to possible extraterrestrial life that may intercept it. Art for aliens…talk about a challenge!

Back in 2012 when I was getting ready for Nuit Blanche, a TV crew from Rendez-vous followed us around for months filming the process of putting together such a large installation. The episode aired in July on CBC’s ICI ARTV.
