Description

Artist Julia Christensen's latest project explores how our relentless pursuit of technological upgrades affects our perception of time. This personal narrative is interspersed with related artwork and conversations with experts from various fields, taking readers on a journey through the international e-waste industry to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

In collaboration with exo-planetary scientists, engineers, and machine learning experts at JPL, Christensen aims to develop long-lived space mission concepts that include an update of the Voyager spacecraft's "Golden Record." Her goal is to create an artwork generated by an extraterrestrial system, telling a new story of life on Earth.

The result of her years-long investigation into upgrade culture is a collection of design concepts that potentially transcend technological obsolescence altogether. This book offers a unique perspective on the intersection of art, technology, and outer space.
