Target: 090313 977 explores the application of Remote Viewing – the psychic ability to see and describe remote geographical locations, or ‘targets’ – developed by the CIA during the Cold War for intelligence-gathering purposes.
The work centres on an attempt by a Remote Viewer to psychically access an undisclosed target using only a set of coordinates as a reference. A printed image of the target remains hidden in a sealed envelope nearby, to be revealed only at the session’s end. For this experiment, however, Russo presented the Viewer with a challenge that had never been tried before. Unlike in most RV experiments, which aim to identify geographical targets on the Earth’s surface that can independently verified, in this case the target is a site in outer space - on the dark side of the Moon.
