Moonage Daydream
'A Brief History from Moon-age to Earth-age (feat. Mars-age)'
The long-disused International Congress Centre Berlin (ICC Berlin) had ephemerally been opened for the recent exhibition ‘The Sun Machine Is Coming Down’. Thus, ICC Berlin serves as a time machine transversing through spaces and times, providing us with opportunities to explore the transforming zeitgeists. We will attempt to analyze the exhibition and historical events to draw parallel lines to philosophies, science fiction, artworks, and scientific findings that have emerged before and after it.
The Moonage Daydream was named after David Bowie's song released in 1971. The word, Moonage, was coined by him and means moon-age — the age of moon travel apparently accelerated during the cold war. How far have we moved forward since then? Where have our eyes turned from there in dreaming of the future? What would the 'Earth-age' means yet remained halfway through thinking?
