This blog documents the development of the interactive audio project, We Are Here.

We Are Here is about the time capsule that was returned to Earth by an alien civilisation in response to these original Voyager records. It is a ‘message in a bottle’ from an extraterrestrial life form. Who sent it? And why?

A series of interactive sculptures (Space Rocks) using sound to tell the story of their planet of origin. They are a message sent back to Earth in response to the launch of the Voyager Golden Record.

The final installation uses Arduino microcontrollers connected by LoRa (Long Range) digital wireless data communication, placed in specially-designed 3D printed shells.
