Moonlight

Moonlight is a spellbinding installation that bridges art, sound, and the cosmos through the visualisation of the process of Earth-Moon-Earth communication, or moonbounce. This collaborative project brought together a talented team: Valerie van Zuijlen (Art Director), Mark Ijzermans (Audio Composition) and Thijs Rijkers (Mirror Construction)

Using the moon as a reflector, the radio observatory is used to bounce musical sounds off  the moon, which are used in a musical composition. The moonbounced sounds are visualised using a vibrating mirror, illustrating the interference experienced traveling through the atmosphere and space.
