FREE ARTICLE: "MOON VEHICLE: REFLECTIONS FROM AN ARTIST-LED CHILDREN'S WORKSHOP ON THE CHANDRAYAAN-1 SPACECRAFT'S MISSION TO THE MOON," BY JOANNA GRIFFIN
Abstract: This article reflects on the journey to the Moon of the Indian spacecraft Chandrayaan-1 as it was interpreted through an artist-led workshop. The workshop participants were a group of children who lived close to where Chandrayaan was built and some of the engineers and scientists responsible for creating the spacecraft. Insights from the workshop show how a mission to the Moon draws on both the technological and the imaginative; they also have bearing on the relative agency of these individuals to contribute to the Moon missions in ways that are personally meaningful to them. (This article was published in Leonardo 45:3, 2012 and is available for free download from the MIT Press web site.) Find out more

DONAU UNIVERSITY, CENTER FOR IMAGE SCIENCE RENEWS AFFILIATE MEMBERSHIP
Donau University, Center for Image Science is an international platform for research and innovative teaching on all forms of images. As repositories of knowledge and instruments of communication in our globalized society, image media continues to grow in importatnce. Images both form networks of societal cohesion and have the power to ignite political and religious passions. Images create values and are a core resource for elaborating and communicating new scientific theories. Today the dynamics of the media revolution are re-defining many issues that image science engages with. In almost every field, practical and theoretical knowledge about how images originate, function, are exploited, their history and their effects is an essential prerequisite for acquiring image competence in the digital age.
