Abstract A Sign in Space is an interdisciplinary project by media artist Daniela de Paulis, in collaboration with the Green Bank Observatory, the National Institute for Astrophysics, the SETI Institute and the European Space Agency. The project consists in transmitting a simulated extraterrestrial message as part of a live performance, using an ESA spacecraft as celestial source. The objective of the project is to involve the worldwide search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) community, professionals from different fields and the broader public in the reception, decoding and interpretation of the message. This process will require global cooperation, bridging a conversation around the topics of SETI, space research and society, across multiple cultures and fields of expertise.

    Highlights Live performance art and network art combined with space technologies, science outreach and citizen science methodologies. Science as a culturally transformative experience with a potentially open-ended outcome. Concrete simulation of a potential post-detection scenario. Composition of a simulated extraterrestrial message as opposed to a terrestrial message designed for an extraterrestrial intelligence. Project highlights process leading to the formation of meaning of a potential extraterrestrial message within a complex society.
