Anyone visiting LABoral Art and Industrial Creation Centre before September 7 will get face to face with a mysterious installation by young artist Félix Luque Sánchez. Chapter I: The Discovery is an impenetrable, geometric object and a series of videos restaging the moment of its discovery, as if it were a scene from a sci-fi movie, where the hero is suddenly confronted with an alien, slightly chilling figure.
"A stunning survey of the latest evidence for intelligent life on Mars. Mac Tonnies brings a thoughtful, balanced and highly accessible approach to one of the most fascinating enigmas of our time."
--Herbie Brennan, author of Martian Genesis and The Atlantis Enigma
"Tonnies drops all predetermined opinions about Mars, and asks us to do the same."
--Greg Bishop, author of Project Beta
"I highly recommend the book for anyone interested in the search for extra-terrestrial artifacts, and the political intrigues that invariably accompany it."
--David Jinks, author of The Monkey and the Tetrahredron
"Mac Tonnies goes where NASA fears to tread and he goes first class."
--Peter Gersten, former Director of Citizens Against UFO Secrecy
And don't miss...

It's interesting how an idea that's kind of a cliche in movie science fiction (mysterious alien object that emits light and sound in an attempt to communicate) can be given new life when someone realizes it as a sculpture.
Nice synchronicity. Last night I watched the COSMOS chapter "The backbone of night", where Sagan talks about the Pythagoreans' obsession with the 5 regular solids. The dodecahedron was, of course, the one that was associated with the perfection of the heavens.
I bought the COSMOS DVD collection mainly because of you, Mac ;-)
