Another Space Agency is Possible

As part of Klima Biennale 2026, Echo Correspondence presents Another Space Agency Is Possible (ASAP), a project by British designer Sophie Dyer, co-founder of the feminist space agency open-weather. From April 14 to May 10 2026, Brunnstube at Schafberg will temporarily become a satellite ground station, serving as a local node for engaging questions of climate, infrastructure, and collective practice in the context of the climate crisis.

For the last five years, British designer Sophie Dyer has co-led the feminist art, tech, and education collective, open-weather. Founded by geographer Sasha Engelmann and Dyer, open-weather became a patchy, planetary network of more than 100 DIY Satellite Ground Stations. Operated by participants across the globe, the network collectively archived extreme weather events, political climates, and atmospheric loss and the death of the last satellites to transmit publicly accessible, analogue weather images. Although the project operated at the scale of the planet, it was born out of local questions and conditions, investigating the meaning of place and the politics of location.

Through an exploration of open-weather’s Public Archive and new works by Dyer, the exhibition envisions open-weather as a feminist space agency. In doing so, ASAP asks: What does space agency mean? What other space agencies might exist elsewhere, under different conditions? How might they alter our perception of the planet, and so our relations to it?
