Shifting Experiences, New Interactions

The preparation and execution of Mars exploration goes along with several shifts in experience and demands on new ways of interaction. Mars exploration does not only mean that we “sail” to a new place, it also implies shiftings in our theorizing, our engineering goals and – as a kind of “re-shift” – even our earthly concerns and responsibilities. This project investigates fundamental philosophical and social aspects from the elementary level of sense perception to communication and interaction at a distance.
