Abstract (en)

The artist describes his work in the ARSAT project, the goal of which is to create an aesthetic dialogue between earth and space. This involves projects for launching mirror satellites into space, which can be seen from earth with the naked eye, and for "signing" the earth with a large representation of the astronomical sign of the earth, visible from space in satellite photographs.
