Functional radio station
www.outerspacetransmitter.art
Outer Space Transmitter is a functional radio station, through which art is sent into space to get in contact with extraterrestrials. For this purpose, the artist trained as a radio operator, built a parabolic antenna, developed an extraterrestrial alphabet and wrote a manifest. Schulzek sees art as a cosmic language that can be extracted by extraterrestrials. She believes that every intelligent life form has the capacity for reflection and abstraction and must be understood as a creative life form. For Schulzek, the language of art represents the central key to communication with extraterrestrial beings.
