OPTICKS is a live performance during which digital images of the seven colors of the spectrum are sent to the moon in the shape of radio signals. The signal is sent form a dish situated in Brazil, the UK or Switzerland, and received in Dwingeloo radio telescope in The Netherlands. Here they are reconverted into the original images.
During the show at Artis Planetarium there will be a live broadcast in which images and sound files are sent to the moon and back to the earth. If you'd like to participate you can send your images and sound files before November 19th to Daniela de Paulis.
