Last week "The Machine," a ten-week-long exhibit of 220 works detailing the myriad ways in which artists have viewed the mysterious powers that inhabit cogs, gears and transistors, opened at Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art.* The exhibit (see color pages) was put together by K. G. Pontus Hulten, 44, who as director of Stockholm's Moderna Museet staged one of the first kinetic art shows back...

The Brooklyn exhibit has three prizewinners, chosen by a jury of scientists. Interestingly, their three were among the nine Hulten had independently chosen. The jury's criterion: "That neither the artist nor the engineer alone could have achieved the results. Interaction must have preceded innovation...
...miles of emptiness in a bold voyage toward a shining and beckoning target: the moon. Before December ends, if all goes well, he will circle the moon and look down from his spaceship at lunar craters and "seas" as little as 70 miles below. Staring up, he will see the dominant feature of the black lunar sky -the blue-green, partly illuminated globe that is his home: the earth...
During their lunar orbiting, the astronauts will take turns shooting still, motion and stereo pictures in color and black-and-white. They will study craters and ridges to see how easily they can be recognized as landmarks. They will plot their position for navigational fixes that will be useful for lunar-landing crews on later missions. On the seventh revolution, they will be able to survey a prime LM landing site at a time when illumination is ideal for observation: the sun will be 6.6° above the horizon, casting the long shadows that best bring out distinctive surface features...
