Maine artist Evelyn Dunphy recently received the news that her Art TV show produced by the Australian art video company Colour in Your Life founded by Graeme Stevenson OAM, would be traveling to the moon to be placed in a time capsule on the South Pole for perpetuity.
Lunar Codex payload coordinator and curator Samuel Peralta who interacts with Space X and NASA in his career as a science fiction writer and physicist, explains, “The Lunar Codex is a project to preserve contemporary creative arts for future generations, a message-in-a-bottle to the future. It is sending the work of 5000+ creative artists to the moon in three lunar exhibits to be launched via three separate missions to the moon over 2021-2023. Our hope is that future travelers who find these time capsules will discover some of the richness of our world today. The Lunar Codex speaks to the idea that, despite wars and pandemics and climate upheaval, humankind found time to dream, time to create art.”
