REST IN PIECES
Website, 2018
Rest in Pieces is a virtual memorial of the spacecrafts which were intentionally crashed on the moon.
The website commemorates the names of 18 machines. Some of these machines are still
on the moon, and some have disappeared into outer-space. These intentional crashes resulted from
both NASA’s inability to createsoft landings and an interest in collecting data on the material
and soil content of the moon’s surface. To reproduce zero gravity, the website is made in AFrame, which is
open source web VR environment. In the website, a user can move around and zoom in and out of
the moon with the keyboard controller.
