Every midnight in March, New York City’s Times Square will transform into Cape Canaveral as Marco Brambilla’s Apollo XVIII lifts off onto more than a dozen of the Square’s digital billboards. Weaving together archival NASA footage and computer renderings, the video art installment presents the countdown to an imagined lift-off of a Saturn V rocket to create a new collective viewing experience, placing the public at the foot of a new frontier.
