👩🏻‍💻🌙 Moon Bound blog post #24, Artist’s Spotlight: Presentation by Barbara Brownie 🔗 link in bio

Barbara Brownie tells us about her work, “Earth Sightseeing Itinerary for the Moon”. The work appears in Moon Bound in two forms: English and, an unknown lunar language. Barbara discusses the two main inspirations for this work: First, the parallels between astronauts’ Operations Data Files and George Brecht’s Event Scores; and second, pseudowriting and xenolinguistics.
