The work centres on an attempt by a Remote Viewer to psychically access an undisclosed target using only a set of map coordinates as a reference. This experiment, however, has a unique twist. Unlike in most RV experiments, the target in this session is located in outer space. The viewer is set the task of accessing and describing a target on the dark side of the Moon. The Remote Viewer's impressions were documented and then delivered to a professional sci-fi movie model maker, who was commissioned to build a model based on the descriptions provided. The resulting sculpture presents a fictional lunar landscape based on psychic information, where a poetic and fictional proposition becomes more tangible than an actual physical place.
