Ewen Chardronett

Ewen Chardronett (France) is the recipient of the Leonardo-@rt Outsiders 2003 New Horizons Award for his installation OPEN SKY, which utilizes the Soviet-era radio-telescope RT32. OPEN SKY was created in the context of the ongoing research projects of the Acoustic Space Lab collective. The RT32 is a 32-meter former espionage antenna in Latvia that has been converted for use in radio-astronomy and fundamental science. Since 2001, artists, radio amateurs, and scientists have worked together to explore the tactical and artistic possibilities of the dish. For more information, go to http://acoustic.space.re-lab.net/
