pau-1.375
2024, 33 x 29, Acrylglas

Part of research project Communique E25, by IDiA Institute.

The artifact pau-1.375 was found by IDiA Institute in the Mur Valley near Schrattenberg, Kreuzberg (altitude 1459 m), during a research expedition for extraterrestrial communiques. It seems to be a segment of an outer core communication disk, presumably send to Earth in a time of first exchanges to outer moons like Enceladus. The engravings indicate different states of watery compositions of the planet sending this disc, therefore offering fundamental levels of understanding or communication. The disk appears to have been sent based on initial contact recordings, in response to the landing of the cryobot icemole 25b, which was launched from earth in 2040 to drill into outer core ice sheets and investigate cryovolcanic activity.
