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 and developed an extraterrestrial alphabet. 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.
Outer Space Transmitter is presented as part of the Grand Snail Tour by Urbane Künste Ruhr and was conceived in 2021 in cooperation with Regioparl and Donau-Universität Krems and financed with funds from Forum Morgen.
