WHAT IS IT? The Baranduda Moonshot (TBM) is an interactive durational solo performance by Baranduda resident and artist Lyn Wallis, recreating the Apollo 11 mission and moon landing in ‘real time’. TBM will use 3D printing technology/art, object theatre, and various digital platforms, to investigate the historic legacy and personal impact of inspirational events and childhood play. TBM is essentially a re-enactment of the Apollo 11 moon mission (launch to landing) in my Baranduda backyard. Like Apollo 11, TBM is a broadcast event. It will use Facebook and its Facebook live function as a platform to share prerecorded and live content with its audience. The broadcast event/s will take place over four days (July 16 to 20, 2019), beginning with mission launch and culminating in a historic walk on the moon. Throughout the making of TBM, I will be assisted by a film/ video specialist, a local puppeteer, and as many friends as I can wrangle into my backyard. I won’t be alone on my journey to the moon: my dog Pablo will be coming with me. HOW WILL I MAKE IT? In 2019 we consider the proliferation of screen-based experience as a modern phenomena, and yet way back in 1969 the world primarily engaged with the first moon landing via screens. TBM will use only free/low cost social media and broadcast platforms and applications to reach its audience: only the mission launch on July 16 will have a live audience in-situ. Key mission moments will be recorded using smartphones and applications such as Astronaut Voice, 8MM and VHS. All of the collateral and content will be managed through free and/or user-friendly platforms such as Canva, GarageBand and iMovie. Locations will be dressed with found objects (cardboard signs, doorknobs, instruments and cellophane) to celebrate childhood play. The overarching idea is that anyone should be able to bring their imagination and pocket technology together to create magic. The mission will be launched on Tuesday, July 16, 6pm at Baranduda Community Centre. For more information visit facebook.com/thebarandudamoonshot/
