Installation  |  Jodrell Bank Calling  |  Abandon Normal Devices

Commissioned by Abandon Normal Devices, Soup Collective were asked to create a film as part of the BFI Sci Fi season, Days of Fear and Wonder. Taking a transcript of a dialogue between Bernard Lovell, creator of the Jodrell Bank Observatory and filmmaker Stanley Kubrick, the film utilised analogue video synthesis and digital visualisation techniques to reflect on a pivotal time in the history of space exploration.

The film, projected onto the iconic Bernard Lovell Telescope at Jodrell Bank was shown before an outdoor screening of Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey.
