This event kicks starts Moon Week part of Astronomers Without Borders Global Astronomy Month
The paintings will be converted into radio waves , each colour in the paintings equals a note in music
its a Newton idea. The paintings will travel 500,000 miles and will return as altered versions of themselves with individual sound signature files unique to each painting created in the process.
The paintings will be sent to the Moon via large radio antennas in Brazil , the UK and Switzerland and received
in the Neatherlands by a 25 Metre radio telescope all online to music created by Sonifonics a NASA developed sound out of images software .
