Jitish Kallat: Covering Letter (Terranum Nuncius)
September 19, 2025 - March 23, 2026
Jitish Kallat’s installation Covering Letter (Terranum Nuncius) engages with sounds and images launched into space in 1977 as a cosmic greeting from humanity. Encoded in the Golden Records (gold-plated phonograph LPs) carried by NASA’s Voyager 1 and 2 and now traveling over 13 billion miles away, these messages were conceived as a “time capsule” meant to last beyond the potential extinction of our species and planet, as well as an introduction to humanity and life on Earth for potential extraterrestrial recipients.
