Philipps, who recently completed an analogue-astronaut simulation at HI- SEAS Hawaii and will be conducting fieldwork in Antarctica later this year, has found a unique venue for her creations: the European Space Agency will be sending her first algorithmic image, NightSky, to the Moon in 2022. EGU General Assembly participants will be able to see images of the artwork produced by both artists via social media (using the hashtag #EGUart ), on screens at the meeting, on the EGU GeoLog blog , and live at the conference centre (in Foyer D on the Brown Level -2/basement).
