Méliès's movie. The animation is composed by 26 'moonbounced' images of the Lunar phaseskindly provided by Michael Oates (Manchester Astronomical Society). On the 20 September 2011,the 26 images were sent to the Moon in a sequence (one after the next) as radio signals by BruceHàlasz, a radio amateur in Brazil; the radio signals, reflected by the rough Moon's surface andscattered all over, were partly received by Jan van Muijlwijk at Dwingeloo radio telescope, a 30metres dish in The Netherlands. The original signals travelled approximately 768.000 Kilometres,the distance to the Moon and back, losing some data on the way, thus giving the 'moonbounced'images a very unique appearance.This work has been realized using 'Visual Moonbounce', a technology conceived by Daniela dePaulis (the author of 'le Voyage dans la Lune') as a new application of Moonbounce. This is atechnology used from the 1946 by the U.S Military Navy as a form of reliable radio communicationand also during the Cold War as espionage tool. Moonbounce was replaced by artificial satellites inthe late 50s, however radio amateurs still employ it as a playful form of internationalcommunication.On the 6 December 2009 visual artist Daniela de Paulis, together with radio amateur Jan vanMuijlwijk and the CAMRAS association at Dwingeloo radio telescope, sent for the first time inhistory an image to the Moon and back. Visual Moonbounce has been widely used by the artist inher project OPTICKS, a live performance between the Earth and the Moon (www.opticks.info). />'le Voyage dans la Lune' is the second work she realized with this new form of communication viathe Moon.The sound of the video has been provided by JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency). Thesound is called 'Moonbell' and uses data from one of the sensors of the Lunar orbiting satelliteSelene/Kaguya, 'a laser altimeter, transforming the altitude data into musical intervals. The area'sonified' in 'le Voyage dans la Lune' is on the far side of the Moon, starting at the Korolev crater,across the highest point.The very slow version of the sound suggests the rhythmic steps of someone walking on the Moon.This video is the very first attempt to use Moonbounce with moving images and it's the only work ofthis kind in the world.Duration (minutes)10What is neededDVD playerone projector2 amplified speakerscable connection between DVD player and projector cable connection between DVD player and amplified speakersAV InstallationPRINTPDFREQUEST BOOKINGAuthorsDaniela de Paulis Italy RomaBooking request×Loading Data×Alert×AVnode.net is now in Beta Version, feel free to test it but read the following alerts:Control panel is still under development, some features are still not fully workingPlease send any bug and suggestion to: bugreports@avnode.netModal title×Crew NameORExternal URLPaste exampleshttps://vimeo.com/158683436https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2vYksfmtJchttps://www.instagram.com/p/B7I57MwIfj6/https://www.facebook.com/avnode.net/videos/1074075152643709/SaveThis website uses cookies to improve your experience.
