The ARTSAT: Art and Satellite Project, which began in 2010, understands Earth-orbiting satellites and deep-space spacecrafts as “media that connect Earth with outer space.” The project launched a miniaturized art satellite and an independently developed spacecraft to carry out experimental creative practices that utilize data transmitted from space, including interactive media art and sound/software art. The project, a collaboration between Tama Art University and the University of Tokyo, is run by members from various fields.
