October 10 - November 15, 2024
From Carver Community Cultural Center:
“Voyager 3: Artifacts of Humanity is a curation dedicated to presenting contemporary artifacts, ideas, and visual cues to encapsulate what it means to be human from an artist’s perspective in the 21st century. Referencing NASA’s Voyager missions of the 1970s, curators Mark Anthony Martinez and Maverick Pascal introduce artifacts to help extraterrestrial civilizations contextualize our species and offer humans a deeper self-understanding.
The show parallels the golden records on the original Voyager probes with the art displayed in the Carver gallery. VOYAGER 3 envisions what a contemporary probe might contain if artists defined “human” in the 21st century. If launched, these artifacts could drift through space for billions of years, long after the Earth and humanity are gone.
As curators and artists, it’s compelling to consider the legacies we leave behind. Will our probe convey our hopes and dreams, or will our creativity become mere cosmic debris?”
