(IMAGE): Installation view of Richard Clar’s Space Flight Dolphin, 1982/2013. From the permanent collection of Sweeney Art Gallery, University of California, Riverside. Space Flight Dolphin is an interdisciplinary art-in-space SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) project designed to be deployed in low-Earth orbit from the cargo bay of the U.S. Space Shuttle. The dolphin sculpture/satellite will transmit a signal modulated by dolphin “voices” that may be detected or sensed by an extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI).
