THAT EVER INCREASING DISTANCE

About

/ On September 5, 1977 NASA launched the Voyager 1 probe to visit the outer planets of the Solar System. As of September 5 2012, after 35 years in space Voyager is still operational with measurements indicating that the probe is more than 17 billion kilometres from Earth in a region of space known as the Heliosheath. Voyager 1 is predicted to leave the solar system between 2012 and 2015 and enter interstellar space. // In 1990 at the request of astronomer Carl Sagan, NASA instructed Voyager 1 to turn its camera around and take a photograph of the Earth. The resulting photograph, taken at a distance of approximately 6 billion kilometres shows the Earth as a tiny speck measuring 0.12 of a pixel in size. /// Supercollider is pleased to announce That Ever Increasing Distance as the next exhibition in 2012 programme. //// That Ever Increasing Distance brings together the work of 4 artists; Jamie Crewe, Hondartza Fraga, Victoria Lucas and Tom Ireland. That Ever Increasing Distance will be the second exhibition at Supercollider's new 59 Cookson Street site.
