It\u00a0will<\/p>\n

feature a mix of installation art, performance, music, film, and spoken word that explores the realities and aspirations of life in space, including the materials of the Apollo program, a voyage to the Red Planet, and the question “How do you make art for aliens?”. <\/em><\/p>\n

The artist and initiator of this event Dan Wilcox says: \u201cWe feel there is a greater discussion going on in the national space agencies, private companies (such as SpaceX), and research laboratories that should involve *everyone*. Humanity heading into space in this century will directly impact our society, so we should all be on board.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
