duncan mclaren's worksheet decoding a page from on kawara's 2011 drawing, voice from moon, in which differently colored pairs of hashmarks were substituted for roman alphabet letters. spoiler alert, though the title gives a big hint: it's the transcript of the 1969 moon landing, as published in the nyt, via onkawara.co.uk

from 1965 to 2011, On Kawara made at least eight Code works, using either colored hashmarks or massive numbers. A Guggenheim guide deciphered one in 2015, and last year Duncan McLaren and two collaborators deciphered all but the first Code, which is prob a Japanese text greg.org/archive/2025...

This video is the best single-video approximation of the installation, though nothing beats experiencing it in person. (You'll have to go to YouTube to watch it, as remote play has been disabled for this vid)
