13:00 R1 REACTOR HALL
*EXCLUSIVE TO #MTFLabs participants AND VIPS
ALong-term collaborator at the DWINGELOO RADIO TELESCOPE (NE), Martine-Nicole Rojina (GER), performs live in collaboration with Jan van Muijlwijk (NE) and Harry Keizer (NE) of CAMRAS, using one of the world’s first radio astronomy antennas to bounce the human voice and musical instruments from the surface of the moon. The waves which travel through space together with the surface structure of the moon “colour” the transmitted signals in a very characteristic way revealing the lunar voice.
