Listening Experience #15 - Our Parents Told Us to Always Remember Home, the Evening Star

A monthly collection of audio experiments and listening objects with sound artist Matt Burnett from Berlin.

This project is an ongoing internet collaboration curated by regina veldon. “Our parents told us to always remember home, the evening star” is a Facebook group. An internet mixtape.

Curator regina veldon writes:
“I discussed tonight the possibility of creating work based around the title ‘our parents told us to always remember home, the evening star’ and the image nasa released of earth as a bright, starlike object in the evening sky of mars.

The proposition, in more detail, is as follows:
The title of the works should be ‘our parents told us to always remember home, the evening star’
Artists are free to interpret the title and photograph any way they like
The works must be published by the artists themselves and each work must provide links back to the other works using the title so that we build up a web of links

The idea is to provide a hope for the future, to imagine the experiences of children born on a future mars colony.
The project is designed to extend past those invited and everyone who takes part is encouraged to ask others they know to produce their own work”
