Apollo Remix

 

Apollo Remix engages themes of history, media, and the archive. The internet has become highly saturated with recordings and information about the Apollo 11 space mission, one of the most documented historical events of the past century. This three-channel experimental film reconstructs the craft’s voyage and subsequent moon landing using video footage sourced from the internet. It addresses the dissociative and fragmentary nature of experiencing historical documentation through an array of online sources. Using existing archival documents as source material, Apollo Remix simultaneously restages and reimagines the mission. Further, it reflects the ongoing critical role of artists as myth makers, in their reconsideration and reconfiguration of history and the dissemination of media.
