Global Nominee

The Challenge | The Art Side of the Moon

Fifty years ago, generations were inspired when humans made a giant leap and walked on the moon. Today, NASA is committed to returning to the moon and beyond! Your challenge is to create an artistic work to communicate, inform, or inspire others about humanity’s return to the moon.

Moonument

An art piece that consists of a large-scaled moon, featuring on its surface creations from people all over the world, seeking to inspire others about NASA’s next moon missions.

Imagisphere

Moonument is a project from Team Imagisphere submitted to the NASA Space Apps Challenge “The Art Side of the Moon”.

Our challenge was to create an artistic work to communicate, inform, or inspire others about humans’ return to the moon. Despite the short amount of time we had to come up with such an important idea, our main adversity was to come up with something actually big, that could involve as many people as possible. An art piece that could cross borders, cultures, ideologies, religions, ages, education backgrounds and put everybody working together as a team on a common goal, as we need to do with space exploration.

Our idea is to inaugurate a monument - a large-scaled moon, that slowly rotates on its axis. Its surface will feature the necessary equipment for our fellow astronauts to survive on the moon, but also ideas sent from people all over the world of what we should build on a lunar base. Be it scientific, humanitarian, memorable or even silly. Every idea counts.

We’ll be collecting all ideas on our website Ideas4Moon.com. People just need to visit it, write a small text with their thoughts and also add attachments like pictures, blueprints or simple illustrations to help us understand and better visualize their idea.

This monument will be inaugurated on a location determined by NASA, on July 20, 2020. Until then everybody can contribute with suggestions of what to be constructed on the moon. Or at least on the Moonument.
