Sight Unseen collaborates for a second time in 2014 with Station North, supported in part by the T. Rowe Price Foundation, to present a cinematic celebration on the 45th anniversary of the Moon landing. These moving titles focus upon the Moon through a myriad of illuminating forms and stellar techniques that feature digital collage, glitch technology, hand-processing, in-camera edits, long-exposure, optical printing, single-frame animation and found footage.

The group program will take place in the great outdoors at the Station North Ynot Lot on the evening of the next full moon! Not only that, but there will be a total lunar eclipse that same morning!

The forthcoming definitions of or related to the Moon, featured in Celestial Object by Ben Balcom, are confronted and contemplated by these artists through acoustic experimentation, chemical treatment, light alteration and time manipulation made possible within the cinematic realm.

1. The natural satellite of earth; a secondary planet that orbits around the earth, visible especially at night.
2. Its recurring phases have caused the moon to be taken as the type of something changeable or fickle.
3. To ask (also cry, wish, etc.) for the moon: to demand or wish for the unattainable.
4. In the sublunary sphere; on earth.
5. In the superlunary sphere; beyond human knowledge.

Featuring films/videos by Miguel Mariño, Katherin McInnis, Ben Balcom, Michael Betancourt, John Woods, Malena Szlam, Cassandra C. Jones, Shambhavi Kaul, Margaret Rorison & Jeanne Liotta.
