moon phases = global experience
2021
- new + full moon posts for one lunar year == twelve lunar months == ~354 days
- time-based: experimental, evolving, cyclical
sound 🔊 and symbol ✔️
- light use of text = more accessible to speakers of all languages
intentions
- leverage networked digital space to connect with the physical, natural world
- build experimental reference of the moon's impact on planet + life-forms (beyond 💛astrology💛)
- research past tradition + create new (virtual) rituals
- honor ancestors persecuted for relationship to the moon: e.g. women + other targeted genders; people who practiced indigenous and earth-based healing practices
- redefine feminine beyond biology (feminine moon ≠ menstrual cycles)
- confront moon colonialism + tourism: NASA's Artemis Program, Artemis Project (private venture) , #dearMoon Project
- develop nonverbal lexicons to communicate phases of the moon
