It was August 20th 2012, and Invader geared up for his second attempt at his mission to send one of his art pieces to space and bring back the footage.
ART4SPACE
For the launch, Invader and his assistant carefully selected a site within a 100-mile radius, avoiding the Everglades, the ocean, and Lake Okeechobee. They brought all the necessary equipment, including the Space One mosaic, GPS tracking, and cameras. They also made sure to bring two bottles of helium, having learned from a failed first attempt when only one bottle was not enough to inflate the balloon on the “spacecraft.”
Despite the gruelling Florida heat, they donned their plastic jumpsuits and persisted in their mission. The bright sunlight made it difficult to see the device screens, but they remained steadfast.
The first bottle of helium filled the balloon with ease this time around, and the spacecraft spun as the balloon rose higher and higher into the sky. Invader diligently followed it, keeping a watchful eye on its progress into the clouds. The GPS on the device allowed them to track the balloon’s location every 10 minutes, but after an hour, the signal was lost. This artisanal spacecraft reached the stratosphere for a short journey into space before landing back on Earth.
Invader received a signal indicating that the balloon was still functioning, but it had drifted to the side of a road in a small town 60 miles from the launch site. They set out to retrieve the balloon, but it proved more challenging than anticipated. They crossed fields, carefully avoided snakes and alligators, and received GPS coordinates every 10 minutes but still could not locate the balloon.
After returning to their hotel, Invader entered the GPS coordinates into a computer and was stunned to discover that the signal was coming from a field a few hundred meters from the road. Invader successfully negotiated numerous obstacles, including private property and dense vegetation, and finally found the red parachute balloon.
Although the Balloon had a few holes, Space One was still intact. Retrieving the memory card, Invader uncovered the details of Space One’s mission- ART4SPACE.
ART4SPACE Film
In 2012, near Cap Canaveral, Invader witnessed the mission ART4SPACE being born. This film unveils Invader’s incredible journey and obsession: send one of his art pieces to space and bring back the footage.
“Having spent the last fifteen years spreading space invaders at the four corners of the world, I dreamt of sending – or I should say return – one to space.”
