THE LUNAR CODEX / LUNAR CODEX MUSEUM of ART
On February 22, 2024, Intuitive Machines' IM-1 lunar lander, Odysseus, successfully touched down on the Moon's south polar region via the Spacex Falcon 9 rocket. Carrying twelve payloads—six from NASA and six commercial—it represents the first U.S. lunar landing since 1972 and the inaugural commercial lunar landing.
Among the commercial payloads is the Codex Nova collection features images of creatives from around the world from the Lunar Codex Museum of Art, including the nanofiche image of bronze sculpture "Reminiscence" by Oceana Rain Stuart. It also includes the first artwork by female artists on the Moon. This historic mission, encompassing Odysseus and all payloads, is now officially recognized as a de facto Artemis Accords Heritage Site. All art, writings, music, and film stored on Codex Nova are now part of humanity's designated heritage, to be preserved for posterity.
The Lunar Codex and Lunar Codex Museum of Art were founded and curated by Dr. Samuel Peralta. It encompasses 35,000 contemporary artists, writings, music, and films, representing 233 countries, territories, and indigenous nations, launched to the Moon and beyond. Within this expansive collection, twenty-two works by Oceana Rain Stuart are featured in the Codex Nova, Serenity, and Polaris missions.
*The Codex Nova mission contains a selection of works from the Codex Nova and Codex Polaris collections, representing only a small fraction of the total works archived by the Lunar Codex. Stuart's work Reminiscence is an inclusion in this collection.
