Conceived and created by Bill Psarras Year: 2011
'Apollo Poetics: collecting words from outer space' is an experimental digital video art work, focused on the in-betweeness, the sublime and the poetics of historical moment through the space-transmitted dialogues of Apollo 11. From a conceptual standpoint, Apollo 11 transmitted words and sounds constitute a 'melancholic data' coming from the past. It starts to take visual shape by soaring within the empty space and thus becoming a human-related text matter; derived from the past but looking towards the future.
