* The Lunar Codex project is an initiative to send a vast collection of contemporary art, literature, music, and other creative works from around the world to the Moon, essentially creating a “time capsule” on the lunar surface, spearheaded by Canadian physicist and artist Samuel Peralta; it aims to archive works from thousands of artists, writers, and filmmakers across multiple countries, preserving a snapshot of human creativity for future generations to discover.
