”I truly enjoy painting planets and all aspects of space. ‘Mars in Rouge’ is a piece that explores introspection as well as expectation. The darker background slowly enveloping the red planet, plays on those themes and hopefully sparks a bit of wonder and awe.” -Jacks

The Lunar Codex includes creative contemporary arts and music from over 67 separate Indigenous peoples from the North American, Eurasian, and Australian continents.

Because of this, as an arts and culture project, the Lunar Codex has been called the most expansive, international, and diverse collection of contemporary culture launched into space.

The Lunar Codex is a curated archive of contemporary culture, in time capsules launched via NASA Artemis / CLPS program partners to the Moon.
