Pioneer Plaque (2022)
The purpose of this project was to redesign the original Pioneer plaque, which depicted a man and a woman as a way to represent humanity. The challenge was to create a new version that communicates the concept of the human being without emphasizing gender.
The final design proposes a new form of visual language, presenting three ways in which humans could hypothetically be understood by extraterrestrial life:
- A graphical representation of human anatomy.
- Atomic symbols representing the elements that make up our bodies.
- The exact quantities of those atoms, expressed in binary numbers.
This redesign reimagines the plaque as a more universal and inclusive message of what it means to be human.
