The UFO Files Earth, 2033. In a recently de-classified location, something has crash-landed – something not of this world. An intrepid UFO investigator pieces together a report that could change the course of human...

My project, A Sign in Space, inspired a new book for young people. The UFO Files (Quarto, 2025) tells the story of the arrival of an alien spaceship. The book merges a science fiction story with nonfiction sidebars about SETI, rocket science, AI, and more.

One year ago today, Ken and Keli Chaffin, a father-daugther team from the US, sent me the correct decoding of the message designed for A Sign in Space. The solution required more than 3,000 hours work by Ken and Keli, and their interpretation efforts are ongoing. #asigninspace

Happy Birthday A Sign in Space! Two years ago the project simulated the reception of an extraterrestrial signal, exploring how humans would create meaning around an alien message. Cake by citizen scientist Gianfranco De Vito #asinginspace

Really pleased to show my work "Blue Marble" at the Tsinghua University Science Museum, as part of the Radio Era exhibition, focusing on the history of radio. "Blue Marble" is a video work I realised with the Visual Moonbounce technology. Images copyright: Tsinghua University Science Museum.

When aliens call, who will answer the phone? How would humankind react on Earth, if we received a transmission from an alien culture? On May 23, 2024, a simulated extraterrestrial message was transmitted towards Earth from the Trace Gas Orbiter…

Thank you Paul Vosteen and Jill Malusky for highlighting A Sign in Space on the Green Bank Observatory website. I developed the project at the Observatory with the generous support of the Baruch Blumberg Fellowship in Astrobiology between 2022 and 2024.
