Jean-Marc Philippe (FR)
Prix Ars Electronica 1999 Distinction ".NET"
"Keo" is a project by Jean-Marc Philippe of France, which provides every Internet user with an opportunity to send a message to the distant future. On the "Keo" homepage Jean-Marc Philippe collects messages and letters from millions of people all over the world. These messages are burned on special CD-ROMs and sent into orbit in a satellite. The orbit of this satellite is designed so that it will return to earth in 50,000 years. Whoever inhabits the planet earth then will have the opportunity to rebuild a CD-ROM player with the help of the assembly instructions included, in order to read the messages.
