Dream Astronomy
Exploring letters to the Mount Wilson Observatory sent by people who had acquired information about the universe without the use of a telescope.
In the early years of the 20th century, letters arrived at the Mount Wilson Observatory in California written by people from all over the world who wanted to tell the astronomers information about the universe that they had acquired without using the observatory's giant telescope.
The letters contained details of experiments, observations and intuitions, and read like an alternative history of space.
With John Moraitis, Kerry Shale, Barbara Barnes and Jennifer Lee Jellicorse, plus the music of Olivier Messiaen and Urmas Sisask.
