Zoe Qi-Jing Li, YuFan Li & Varvara Guljajeva: Moon vs. Live-Streaming Moon

This presentation introduces the outdoor and indoor presentations of the post-anthropocentric art project I Tell the Moon My Secret and the Moon Tells Me Yours (ITMMSMTMY), highlighting how environmental factors and the modes of interaction with the Moon—either directly or via live streaming—affect audience engagement and perception. The findings show that technological mediation serves as an alternative when direct experience is not possible, yet struggles to reproduce the emotional and atmospheric depth of encountering the Moon in person. The talk also reflects on curatorial challenges in presenting post-anthropocentric work within institutional spaces that are often grounded in human-centric frameworks.
