From the “small stage that is Earth,” consider the life of light that shines through the entire MoonArk, a pentagonal structure comprised of four independent but interrelated exoskeletal chambers: Earth, Metasphere, Moon, and Ether. The conceptual structure for the chambers describes a narrative of outward progression\u2013a journey or quest in classic narrative style of leaving home, journeying toward a goal, achieving the goal, and then journeying onward into the unknown rather than returning home.<\/p>\n

The MoonArk contains elements representing the Arts (art, architecture, design, music, sculpture, drama, ballet, and poetry), Humanities, Sciences, and Technologies \u2013 all engaging the most advanced state-of-the-art material and fabrication practices \u2013 from the nano- and micro- scales, to the infinite scales including ever ongoing deep space radio-wave transmissions broadcast in 2016 in advance of the MoonArk’s journey.<\/p>\n

The MoonArk is comprised of four independently themed chambers. Each chamber encloses an elaborate composition of platinum-engraved sapphire disks, hyper-colored metal murals, minerals and biological samples, micro payloads such as nano art and 1mm silicon chips, and an array of artifacts that provide a contemporary view of humanity at the time of launch. In some ways, each\u00a0chamber serves as a time capsule; yet in other ways, together, they\u00a0collectively provide a non-encyclopedic synthesis\u00a0of the many dimensions of being human.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
