Spacewoman of the Underground

Christine Zuercher
May 16-18, 2019
Exploratorium

In early May from Harvard University’s Memorial Hall, Christine Zuercher—assisted by a statistician working alongside with pencil and paper—will attempt to dig a hole to the other side of the planet while wearing a handmade spacesuit. Adjacent to her dig will be a Ham Radio used to receive transmissions from all parts of the globe. Meanwhile, Exploratorium viewers will be invited to investigate her findings and tune into the radio transmissions in order to experience the voice of the unknown. The Dig celebrates the human urge to explore while interrogating the instinct to exploit.
