this piece was constructed from notes people left at the lunar launch party. some are secrets, some are dreams, some are nice things. all are words. because it’s the words that matter. everything begins and ends with words. it’s the words that hold the power. it’s your words that hold the power. you gave us your words and here we give them back to you. separately your words mean something, together they mean something else. collaboration. anonymity. creativity.
words.
