Laurent Grasso, The Horn Perspective - Prix Marcel Duchamp 2008, Espace 315, Centre Pompidou
From Centre Pompidou description:
In 1964, two American radio astronomers use the Horn antenna in order to measure the power of the radio waves emitted by our galaxy. They pick up a background noise which they can't explain and which actually turns out to be the (sonorous) fossil of the Big Bang which gave birth to the universe some ten billion years ago.
Laurent Grasso made a sculpture of this antenna, disposed at the other end of the Espace 315, just as he made a replica of an antenna by Tesla, the great master of electricity transmission, the inventor of the radio, the first theoretician on directed-energy weapons, and the foreshadower of research on ionospheric energy. In 1899, the antenna which he had installed in Colorado Springs was perhaps the first to pick up radio waves from space.

En 1964, deux radio-astronomes américains utilisent l'antenne Horn, dans le New Jersey, afin de mesurer la puissance des ondes radio émises par notre galaxie. Ils capteront un bruit de fond qu'ils ne savent pas expliquer et qui s'avérera finalement être le fossile sonore du Big Bang qui a donné naissance à l'univers, il y a dix milliards d'années.
De cette antenne, Laurent Grasso a fait une sculpture. Tout comme il a disposé, à l'autre bout de l'Espace 315, une réplique d'une antenne de Tesla, grand maître du transport de l'électricité, inventeur de la radio, premier théoricien des armes à énergie dirigée et préfigurateur des recherches sur l'énergie ionosphérique. En 1899, l'antenne qu'il avait installée à Colorado Springs fut peut-être la première à capter des ondes radio venues de l'espace.
