TO THE MOON, a virtual reality experience, uses images and tropes from literature, science, science-fiction space movies, and politics to create an imaginary and dark new version of the Moon. During the 15-minute experience, the viewer is shot out from Earth, walks on the surface of the Moon, glides through space debris, flies through DNA skeletons, and is lifted up a lunar mountain.
By Laurie Anderson and Hsin-Chien Huang
