The couple also had their cats names put on their gravestone. I'm glad they included Speedy.

Ala Ebtekar, Thirty-Six Views of the Moon (from the San Jose Museum of Art)

Cyanotype prints on found book pages exposed to moonlight.

Thirty-six Views of the Moon is a collection of night exposures, left from dusk till dawn and exposed by moonlight on book pages from texts referencing the moon and night sky spanning the last ten centuries. Working with photographic negatives of the Moon from the Lick Observatory archives in Northern California and treating each book page with Potassium ferricyanide and Ammonium ferric citrate (cyanotype) to make the surface of the page light-sensitive, the pages are then exposed overnight by the UV-light emitted by the moon. The work takes its cue from a poem by Omar Khayyam that imagines us as the objects of the Moon’s omnipresent gaze and, in response, produces a vignette of windows on the Moon that abstract the typical celestial gaze, merging galaxy with ground to collapse space and time. (McEvoy Foundation for the Arts)

i can't find sources on this anywhere any more, but i distinctly remember reading a blurb about Gene Ray's Time Cube that mentioned how one guy somewhere else in the US read Gene's ramblings and actually parsed enough meaning out of them that he became the world's first and only convert to Time Cube Thought other than Gene himself. this guy then flew down to Florida to meet his visionary prophet face-to-face, whereupon they promptly got into an argument over the fundamentals of Time Cube so bad that they never spoke again. i guess it was always possible to create a religious schism with the theoretical minimum of two people but it's funny to see in practice

at some point you have to realize that you actually have to read to understand the nuance of anything. we as a society are obsessed with summarization, likely as a result of the speed demanded by capital. from headlines to social media (twitter being especially egregious with the character limit), people take in fragments of knowledge and run with them, twisting their meaning into a kaleidoscope that dilutes the message into nothing. yes, brevity is good, but sometimes the message, even when communicated with utmost brevity, requires a 300 page book. sorry.
