Abstract
The Intergalactic Estate Agency is a participatory installation commissioned by the Eden project in collaboration with Foam. The work enables three people to create and record a sales message for transmission on the intergalactic market.
The intention of the ‘IEA’ is to help contextualise the challenges of climate change through a shamelessly self-interested perspective of retaining value prior to sale. Thus, shifting the scale of climate change from a large abstract notion to something a little more familiar and closer to home.
The components of the installation consist of a mechanical Morse code messaging machine to formulate the message. Drums to signal the urgency of the message and a keyboard to signal the feeling behind the message.
