The MJ Monument is a satellite of gold launched into space carrying the complete archive of his life and legacy, translated into digital media.
As the satellite orbits our planet, it transmits this information back to earth and into outer space, gaining new fans. Fans will be able to send their condolences directly to it via a satellite dish.

Every 50 years, the satellite returns to Earth as the centrepiece of a joyous renewal ceremony, where its content and design will be updated.
