This page showcases Tom R. Chambers' photo/arts projects re: the dearMoon mission to circumnavigate the Moon in 2023. If selected as a crew member, he will implement these projects as exhibitions, workshops, and teaching sessions in the classroom. http://tomrchambers.com/tomrchambers_photo-art_proposals_dearmoon_mission.pdf Chambers' main objective during the dearMoon mission would be to document (photo/video) it from beginning to end, involving his crewmates and the process with the main focus on Earth and the Moon through the observation windows. Hundreds of images would be made during launch, trans-lunar coast, circumnavigation of the Moon, trans-Earth coast, and reentry/landing. After returning to Earth, this extensive coverage would be edited/enhanced for various exhibitions, workshops, classroom teaching, and publication.

Apollo Pop

Remembering Andy Warhol with a series titled "Apollo Pop". I think he would have appreciated this artistic approach to Project Apollo. He was an American artist, film director, and producer who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as Pop Art. His works explore the relationship between artistic expression, advertising, and celebrity culture that flourished by the 1960s, and span a variety of media, including painting, silk screening, photography, film, and sculpture. Some of his best known works include the silkscreen paintings Campbell's Soup Cans (1962) and Marilyn Diptych (1962), the experimental films Empire (1964) and Chelsea Girls (1966), and the multimedia events known as the Exploding Plastic Inevitable (1966–67). He died in 1987. (Wp)
