Outer space is celebrated for its remarkable scientific achievements—from Moon landings and the exploration of distant planets and comets to pioneering deep-space research. Yet, much of today’s activity is dominated by national and commercial interests in limited Earth-Space environment that claim to benefit humanity while excluding structural engagement of civil and public perspectives. Expedition to Public Outer Space will challenge this paradigm by rethinking the role of the public in space initiatives.
In a world where 75 percent of the planet's land surface is experiencing measurable human pressure, the way people imagine the planet substantially impacts the environment itself. Such environmental imaginaries are constructed by a number of underlying concepts, value systems, visual cultures and technologies used for portraying the Earth's environment. However, these technologies are neither neutral nor inclusive of society.

The Icons of the Non-Visible exhibition aspires to elucidate the influence of space research and exploration on culture, in order to open the way for epistemological reflections of images of the non-visible.
In 2015-2016, KSEVT tackled the question “How is the non-visible visible?” in collaboration with experts from the natural sciences, the humanities, and art, by highlighting certain cases in in the framework of exhibitions and expert conventions.
