"HUMANITY LIVES AS LONG AS ITS KNOWLEDGE LIVES." — ISAAC ASIMOV. THIS INSTALLATION IS A FRAGMENT OF A HYPOTHETICAL PROGRAM FOR SENDING HUMAN KNOWLEDGE INTO SPACE. JUPITER-30 IS ONE OF ITS TRANSPORTS, A "COURIER OF MEMORY" CAPABLE OF CARRYING NOT ONLY MATTER, BUT ALSO FORMULAS, LANGUAGES, AND DATA BEYOND THE BOUNDS OF EARTH’S CIVILIZATION.

IT RESEMBLES A CAPSULE, A BARGE, OR AN ORBITAL MODULE, BEARING WITHIN IT AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL ARTIFACT OF THE FUTURE. THROUGH THE TEXTURES OF METAL, LEDS, AND BIOMATERIALS EMERGE ROUTES, FORMULAS, AND FORGOTTEN LANGUAGES. WE RECREATE A MACHINE DESIGNED TO PACK THE FUTURE INTO A VESSEL OF KNOWLEDGE AND SEND IT TO THE EDGE OF THE GALAXY — TO THE PLACE WHERE EVERYTHING WILL BEGIN ANEW. THE EXPEDITION’S ROUTE BEGAN FROM THE ORBIT OF JUPITER, THE LARGEST PLANET IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM AND THE NATURAL GUARDIAN OF THE INNER WORLDS. BEYOND LIES ONLY THE COSMIC VOID AND THE PATH INTO THE FUTURE.
