CU Soon by Nye Thompson is a series of performance works for humans and satellites. The artist created a collection of electronic greeting ‘postcards’ encoded as radio signals which she sent to satellites orbiting the planet. These greetings travel into space and are returned by the satellites, scrambled, and reassembled into something new.

For this print collection, the images are presented in pairs: the original postcard sent into space and the modified image returned by the satellite. Each diptych forms a narrative of before and after. They show the postcard image’s transformation through their encounter with the satellite, and the noise and glitches acquired during this epic journey into space and back.


The video is a real-time graphical recording of the actual radio signal that the satellite sent back to the artist - an image travelling through space. This radio signal contains the coded information that was used to generate the new image.
