Katie Paterson, Earth-Moon-Earth (Moonlight Sonata Reflected from the Surface of the Moon) 2007, 2 archival inkjet prints E.M.E. radio is a form of transmission whereby messages are sent in Morse code from Earth, reflected off the surface of the Moon, and then received back on Earth. The Moon reflects only part of the information back: some is absorbed in its shadows or lost in its craters. For this artwork, Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata was sent to the Moon. Returning to Earth fragmented by the Moon’s surface, this historical composition was then re-translated into a new score, the gaps and absences becoming intervals and rests.
