CMU artists shoot for the moon and an alien audience

Pop City: "Legendary space artist Lowry Burgess has been working in outer space most of his life.
He was the creator of one of the first official art payloads transported to space by NASA in 1989. He has bounced holograms off the moon for a work that joined Galileo's Notebook at a prominent exhibition in Paris.
'All my work on Earth has had cosmic connections going back to the 1960s,' says Burgess, sitting in his studio on Gold Way in Oakland, surrounded by art. 'NASA is not arts prone, but they are very supportive of me,' he says humbly.
