Can you be a Keeper of the Moon?
Museum of the Moon is a new touring artwork by Bristol based artist Luke Jerram. At least 18 volunteers are required to help man this new artwork Museum of the Moon at the Bristol Balloon Fiesta. Measuring seven metres in diameter, the inflated moon features 120dpi detailed NASA imagery of the lunar surface. At an approximate scale of 1:500,000, each centimetre of the internally lit spherical sculpture represents 5km of the moon’s surface. The installation is a fusion of lunar imagery, moonlight and surround sound composition created by BAFTA and Ivor Novello award winning composer Dan Jones. www.my-moon.org Duties will involve:
