A for Arecibo: Signals across the iron curtain is an exhibition consisting of an installative production that revisits the contrast between the futuristic approach of the Space Age in the West and the technological products “with our own forces” during socialism in Albania through objects and multimedia images. While the efforts to explore the cosmos and the immense desire to establish contact with extraterrestrial life forms were at their peak, in 1974 an interstellar message titled Arecibo was sent into space. Mankind hoped to communicate with the unknown. While in the West the much desired contact with the unknown turned into an influence that massively encompassed and embodied art, architecture, music, and design, widely known as the Space Age, in Albania contact was orientated through illegal TV antennas. The unknown in Albania from the world beyond came in the form of radio television waves, ready to shape an open-minded individual in the midst of an autarchic and isolated regime.
