This astronaut floats effortlessly in a multihued space with the moon in the background. It was painted by the duo Brigitte Dawson and Melissa Turner and sits appropriately on a wall in the Engineering and Advanced Technologies area of Swinburne University, adjacent to the railway line. When first painted, it included a link to an Augmented Reality app that added a second astronaut moving gymnastically through the space - this may or may not still be available.
I love street art. And I love sharing the images that artists paint on walls, whether it's here in Melbourne or in other visually exciting cities. I've been photographing art in Melbourne since 2005 and love being part of the street art community.
