Today, just 70 years after the V2 rocket’s photo session, we've turned our sights toward horizons beyond worlds already visited by robots. In August 2012, after 35 years of traveling, Voyager 1 left our solar system heading for interstellar space, and in July the following year, the second blue planet man has seen was detected through the Hubble Telescope, 63 light years—596,000 billion kilometers—away.
The observable part of the universe has a diameter of 93 billion light years. No one still knows whether it is infinite or not, and physicists and astronomers are discussing the possibility of the multiverse.
The fourth Trondheim biennale - Meta.Morf 2016 - will showcase artists, writers and scientists that in various ways take a closer look at man as interstellar traveller, and how we at the beginning of this millennium are about to redefine our relationship with the stars and, consequently, ourselves.
