Space Journey / Gaia
Risograph, inspired by the movement pattern of the space telescope ‘Gaia’ (ESA), which has been mapping our galaxy since it was launched in 2013. Among other things, the data collected has been used to create the most detailed map of the Milky Way to date. The telescope was decommissioned on 27 March 2025
The work was realized during an Artist-in-Science Residency of the artist at the European Space Agency (ESA) hosted by Kultur einer Digitalstadt in Darmstadt in 2022.
The print was produced by Herr und Frau Rio in Munich and is a limited, signed an numbered edition.
