| Description: | On March 2nd, RTV Drenthe witnessed the start of what will become one of the art works of Into Nature this year: our very own LOFAR will literally be the canvas of a piece or art that can only be fully seen from above. The New Zealand artist Ilke Gers, along with several colleagues and assisted by ASTRON director Jessica Dempsey, set out to stick large pieces of white vinyl tape on the black HBA’s. The pieces will be cut out in such a way, that together they form a message to send into space. What the piece of art will look like exactly, will remain a surprise for now.
The project only goes to show that technology & research can go hand in hand with both nature and art.
