Art on the Moon, Poetry for Homo spaciens: An Interview with Eduardo Kac about His Artwork Adsum Available to Purchase

How do you write with symbols in a manner that is not dictated by Earth gravity? How do you consciously forward a message into the future while maintaining the ability to communicate contemporaneously?
