Huygens audio data reimagined by Roberta Fidora.
"Huygens is named after the Dutch astronomer and physicist Christiaan Huygens. It is perhaps an interesting juxtaposition to hear the chaotic sonic discoveries captured by a craft named in honour of his studies around Saturn and its moon Titan, rhythmically tethered to the Earthly time constraints of his most famous invention: the pendulum clock. A jittery signal of alien weather condition, gated, processed and remapped to conform to the system of measurement by which we try to organise our journeys across the universe."
