The probe contains a miniature, live-feeding video camera that transmits the images back to a flat screen TV. Viewers wander back and forth between the sculptural installation and the video image at mission control. One of the 'phenomena" is a turn-table that is playing side 1 of Brian Eno's Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks, providing a suitably atmospheric and spacy, live-feed sound track. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52097180e4b08d9753c78dab/1431304152433-F5JKLJZUR3II6UDHA2F2/image-asset.jpeg Space Probe 2014 - Space Probe A model based on a Voyager space probe travels across the ceiling of a warehouse basement, attached to a moving cable.
